The reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
Despite its quirks, I would say that at least conceptually, Spore has aged incredibly well.
Spore takes this concept a little further than most.
We’re not really here for Spore’s raw fidelity, though.
Where Spore continues to be timeless is in its wild art style, and underlying gameplay implementation.
In Spore, you literally start life as a single cell organism.
Am I gonna write an article about Spore (2008) in 2024?

I had literally no idea what to expect from Spore at that point.
T’was here I began to realize that Spore was far more than meets the eye.
The scope of Spore is truly wild.
And sure, Spore is a bit of a victim of its own ambition.
Indeed, Spore as a franchise is essentially mothballed in 2024.
EA as a corporate entity tends to be spectacularly good at squandering what it has.
Spore has a heavy user-generated content aspect to it, where players could share their creature creations.
I think a future Spore game could find a more happy medium, though.
As a fan of strategy simulation games, Spore was a surprisingly great experience.
