Finished it again. Just like the last thousand times. Now I tried installing countless mods. Game crashes so much.
Note: Don't install the mod named "YourMom". It just turns every text in the game to "Your Mom".
So, if you are looking to spice up your Spore experience, you don't have to put yourself through the agony of installing countless mods you don't know, like I did. Just install dark injection, auto save and some graphic patches, and tweak some game files to skip the intro and unlock your FPS. On top of it all, install Reshade and you have the ultimate Spore experience.

Jogado no Xbox Game Pass / EA Play. Quando eu era criança, eu lembro de conseguir uma cópia de Spore e achar o jogo mais diferente e legal que eu já tinha conseguindo jogar no meu computador, mesmo que nunca tenha avançado direito no jogo. Não a toa eu fui atrás de rejogar quando vi que ele estava disponível no Game Pass...

E talvez agora eu entenda porque eu tenha desistido do jogo quando criança? Por mais que ele tente te apresentar 5 estágios bem distintos em proposta, eles tem praticamente o mesmo gameplay: conseguir pontos de DNA para evoluir para a próxima parte.

O problema é que, ao invés de deixar mais divertido, ele só deixa o processo mais burocrático a cada passo. Eu fui até o Estágio Tribal e parece que cada fase é a mesma, mas com controles diferentes e mais passos pra se preocupar. Quando eu era criança eu sempre falei que gostava mais do Estágio de Célula e hoje eu entendo o porquê: o jogo tá ali, só que simples e fácil de jogar e aproveitar o que ele tem de bom.

Ah yes. Spore. The genius creature creator from 2008.
It still remains to this day as one of my favorite god/sandbox games.

The gameplay is quite simple, you start in the cell stage, where you must nurture and grow your species to the next stage and the next after that. The game continues from the cell stage to the creature stage where you must survive the land, feed and mate and collect parts, while befriending or destroying other creatures. After that stage we have the tribal stage, which also ends the evolution segment and starts the social segment, where you must bring your tribe to victory with any means necessary, either friendly or hostile. After the tribal stage we have the civilization stage where you must control a civilization and your goal is the domination of the planet! The Final stage is the sandbox like stage, the Space Stage. This marks the beginning of the exploration and colonization of space, starting with the home system of the creature.

In the end the most fun I had in this game has always been while creating creatures or in the space stage. Other parts are fun, but I find myself usually wanting to get through them as fast as I can. Despite that, the whole game is very entertaining and it's very heavy with nostalgia for myself and probably many others as well.

Great old game, definitely worth the hefty price of 20€ these days as well. Highly recommended.

The Cell Stage is short but enjoyable enough. The Creature Stage is really basic but it's oddly charming. The Tribal and Civilization Stages are pretty much baby's first RTS. I've always enjoyed them personally, but neither is very interesting.

The Space Stage and Creature Creator are no doubt the focus of the game. Creating creatures is cool, and I think making them more complex as you progress in the Creature Stage and seeing how they've changed at the end is the best part. Space Stage is a bit mixed. I think it can be enjoyable and there are things to do, especially if you get the Galactic Adventures DLC, but I don't think it manages to hold my attention for as long as it should. I've played through the game many times, telling myself I would beat Space Stage each one, and I never did. I know that it doesn't really have an ending, but there is sort of a goal, and I could never bother to reach it.

All in all, enjoyable enough, I suppose.

This was probably the coolest thing ever when i was 10, 7 years later, it still is the coolest thing.

Game crashes a lot, the contrast between gameplay types is jarring, but even so, the game is very charming and fun, and all of the gameplay styles are fun, with the space one being a little lame at the start but really opening up later on

i recommend.

The cell stage is fun and thankfully doesn't overstay its welcome.
The creature stage is even more fun, I wish it lasted longer.
The tribal stage is a bit worse but still pretty fun.
The civilization stage is just a worse tribal stage.
The space stage is boring.
Unfortunately, the fact that the other tribes and civilizations are different species from you has some disgustingly racist implications that I hope weren't intentional.
