Spore
From Single Cell to Galactic God, evolve your creature in a universe of your own creations. Play through Spore’s five evolutionary stages: Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilization, and Space. Each stage has its own unique style, challenges, and goals. You can play how you choose start in Cell and nurture one species from humble tidepool organism to intergalactic traveler, or jump straight in and build tribes or civilizations on new planets. What you do with your universe is up to you. Spore gives you a variety of powerful yet easy-to-use creation tools so you can create every aspect of your universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even starships. While Spore is a single-player game, your creations are automatically shared with other players providing a limitless number of worlds to explore and play.

Spore Review
Fantastic game experience going from single celled life to space stage.
When I first bought the game, the servers were down and I wasn’t able to access online content, which was quite disappointing.
I played it again recently and had a blast. However, space stage, once again started to get repetitive and boring. I just wish there was much more in terms of biological, astronomical and cultural aspects. I really want to be able to do more with terraforming planets, ecological niches, biodiversity, evolution, unique culture and interactions and much more.
One criticism I have is that it gets annoying when you see a creature from one of your other games randomly appear elsewhere. It just doesn’t make sense. I want to see biodiversity and something new and unique. Which brings me to my other gripe – the online servers. I’m sure things were great when Spore was first released but with the servers silent for several years, and what now seems to be a wipe of the database, the online community, content, and vision, seems to be a shadow of it’s former self.
Spore was great for it’s time and has aged well, with great replay value until you once again hit the dead end of the space stage.
More current games like No Man’s Sky have tried to reproduce the space stage with all the added elements but have fallen flat.
And, even though the concept is very basic in spore, I can’t find a game that demonstrates evolution to such complexity (or lack thereof, which is saying something). Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution is still in beta and is probably the closest contender, but it’s still not quite enough. When will the true successor to spore appear? Although its a monumental vision, and seemingly impossible task to get it right, I can only wait in anticipation.
