There's too many "Endless" games.  I have Dungeon of the Endless which 
wasn't for me, though I gave it a proper go at 30 hours.

I also have Endless Legend which I've never even given a try.

Then I have Endless Sky which isn't part of the Endless(TM) franchise, 
which I don't remember at all and played for 89 minutes.

Then I always get confused between Endless Space and Everspace, I don't 
even own Endless Space, but loved Everspace.  Everspace 2 not so much, 
though I intend to give it a 2nd try when the mood strikes me.  E2 just 
has too much puzzles and too much rather annoying long still cartoon 
drawing exposition movies*.  It also feels like there's no challenge, 
but maybe I just didn't get far enough along.

* know there's a name for the movies in games, but I'm getting old, 
can't remember the name of it, and my google-fu is failing me.  I keep 
thinking quick-time events but that's when you have like a movie where 
you have to push a button at the right time which I don't hate as much.
