I enjoyed Spore when I was a kid. It was legit fun evolving and designing your creature.

oh, what i would give for someone to try and make an AAA-backed Spore-like game. it scratches such a specific itch that nothing else really does

I played SO much spore back in the day. I even created a sort of OC in the game with a whole backstory and cast of characters and everything. Totally just had a blast from the past looking at my creations on the "sporepedia" (it still exists!)

Spore was really cool... Until space stage which was just too boring!

I was extremely invested in spore pre release and with how much was cut, it could never live up to my expectations...
