Brave (read: cowardly) Phil and Jeremy are embarking on a galactic adventure in 4X game Endless Space 2 before it gets out of its Early Access paddock gates.

Check back next week to see the inevitable slide towards all out war and possible galactic genocide as well as more pretty space vistas, subscribe to PCGamesN to make sure you’re not missing out on that.
