I've always been tempted to get Sins of the Solar Empire Rebellion, as it doesn't look like one of those 4X type strategy games (Like Endless Space). It seems to have a more "omph" to it. Should I purchase, as I'm still wanting something to itch that space sim desire.

No. That's Sins Trinity. Rebellions is a separate stand alone expansion game.
I don't think so. I don't know how it got so popular. It's really a pretty boring brawler.
It has cards, that's all you need to know.
I find it quite enjoyable if you find a good server
If you have to ask then you already know. Buy it.

Would you recommend it for single player or coop is the only right way?
Definitely coop. It's a lot of fun with friends.
Yes. Played it to completion in one sitting yesterday. Pretty fantastic, but have a walkthrough to check before leaving an area to be 100% sure you didn't miss something that will break the game.
Once you actually try to spend your bells in real life, you're in for a terrible surprise.

It's faster paced because it's real-time vs most others being turn based. I don't know if that's the oomph, but it's a lot of fun sending a giant fleet into an enemy's colony and watching them battle.

The best game ever crafted by the hands of men.

Its fun in single player but a BLAST with people. I would get it for how cheap it is.

Rebellion contains everything in Trinity.

When you're able to pull of your first double envelopment and watch the enemy's supplies dwindle to the point where it becomes more a turkey shoot than a war... my god man. Start feeling like this guy:
Or for you brits:
So good. So, so good.

Rebellion is the latest version [with all of Trinity's content, new ships, new graphical effects, balance tweaks and Steamworks multiplayer]. The only reason to purchase Trinity would be to get a basic idea of the franchise at a cheaper price, or to play multiplayer with someone else who only has Trinity.

That's because it's not a "true" 4X, it's micromagement while there and economy sustainability is not as complex as other space 4X, think it as a very big in scope RTS, and a VERY good one at that, buy it, treasure it. Also, Mods, MODS.

Agreed, by far my favorite co-op PC game.
Someone took it, dunno why modbot didn't update.
You and me both, Salsa.
Alright, going off to bed. You people continue to sell Reus for anyone in doubt for me please

It seems to be a mixture between a god game,a puzzle game and some 4X elements thrown in (research, expansion, war). Not directly a puzzle game, but how you need to make sure that your village prospers with limited amount of space and within the scope of that, there seem to be tons of possibilities for different plants, animals, minerals, which all have a different symbiosis to something to enhance the effect, giving it a bit of a 4X touch as well. Example: Blueberries give you 4 food, but if you upgrade them to strawberries you get 8 food and if the strawberries are next to another patch of blueberries, they get an additional 2 food on top. All this helps developing your villages, which in turn is needed to advance the powers of your giants. Its really slick and charming and considering the surprising amount of variation and possibilities (100 plants), I can see myself playing this for a while. Its also suuuper cool to just watch people doing their thing. They really managed to give this game a special touch.
Yes, buy it. The gameplay is 'mazing.
Oops. Thought it was a completely separate game.

I've owned this since a long time ago and haven't played it yet. Maybe you will?

ModBot updated it in your original post, the quote was in the wrong format the second time you posted it.
Hm, I dont know. Is it a good game?

I know people are saying buy buy buy, but how varied is the gameplay in Reus? I watched the Quicklook a while back and looked like a bit of a one-trick-pony. Are there tons of upgrades and units and stuff? Multiple maps?
The guy from the indie games thread said it was pretty bad.

Any chance Reus will eventually be in a Humble Bundle?
So I just played Reus, the first three tutorials.
This is a very cool little game. My steam budget is very limited, but I am glad I spend 5 dollars on this game. I love the art design of the giants, they could totally be my bros if they lived in our world.
Was also fun to watch a village get greedy and just wreck their shit by building a mountain on them. Greedy bastards. Do not tempt the wrath of giants!
