On top of it all, Sins: Rebellion is still a masterful strategy game, bringing out the best in both the RTS and 4X genres. Does this stand-alone expansion continue to deliver the goods that the original brought players, or does it fall short of expectations? The short answer is a little of both.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a new, stand-alone expansion, meaning players do not need to have the original game to play (though owners of the original game will receive a discount when purchasing Sins: Rebellion). A perfect hybrid of traditional RTS games and true 4X style (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate), the original Sins and its expansions were incredibly successful and popular with players, especially those looking to challenge others in massive multiplayer games. Sins of a Solar Empire remains one of the most well-balanced and intuitive strategy games of the past decade.
