Master of Orion 3 (MOO3) is like the long-awaited reunion of a legendary rock 'n roll band.

 Review - Master of Orion 3 // PC /// Eurogamer
Master of Orion is one of the original flag bearers for this genre, an epic management title which puts you in charge of an advanced race on the galactic stage and lets you handle everything from exploration and colonisation through to the economy and, of course, the military.
