Looking Back at Star Control 2 (spoiler heavy)

SPOILER WARNING: if you haven't played or watched me or someone else play Star Control 2 'til the end, be warned that this video will reveal much about the plot and secrets of the game. It is also best viewed if you are familiar with the game, otherwise some of it might not be very clear.

In this video I do a sort of review / retrospective of Star Control 2, of which I recently finished a long let's play. I don't discuss the game mechanics but rather the sci-fi elements and the story. It's not comprehensive and there's much more to talk about, but I didn't want to go on too long. I mostly talked about the parts that I found most interesting.

Specifically I talk about the way humanity is portrayed, the tragic story of the Ur-Quan, a moral quandry I faced in the game, several of the alien races and the sci-fi concepts.
