SPORE™ Galactic Adventures

Spore, the core game, is still pretty great. It's a fun game, fun concept, and while the UI has NOT aged well AT ALL, the game itself is still a good time. Unfortunately it still crashes constantly: this is a problem left over from the original development that was NEVER fixed. The crashes are absolutely game-breaking: Creature Stage in particular is barely playable. I'm not sure how anyone got through this game in 2008, because you will lose all progress repeatedly. That's where mods come in. For better and worse, most modders have chosen the "full" version of the game - i.e. the version with the two DLCs installed - as the one they have modded (since it also has the most updated patches), and their mods don't work with the core version of Spore. So if you want to play Spore with mods to help reduce (not eliminate) the number of crashes and to help make them less painful with an autosave feature, you'll need this DLC. However: Spore Galactic Adventures is terrible. The core concept of the DLC - creating new adventures and sharing them - doesn't work. So you're left with a few super generic adventures that are quite awful and only subtract from the game. They are easily ignored, and there are a few other updates and features that are nice, but the core function doesn't exist any more - and yet you still have to pay the same price! SO you're stuck: you have to buy this DLC so you can install the mods necessary for the core game to even function, BUT the GA mod gives nearly zero value otherwise and also makes the game worse by adding long, annoying quests. It's even weirdly listed as an entirely separate game on Steam. So in the end, it's just a ripoff. If you love Spore and want to experience the game, it's still fun. But it sucks that you're forced to buy extra content to play it. Because of this, I cannot recommend the game.
