The folks at Game Vortex have published their review of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and gave it an Editors' Choice! "Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion  is one of those minutes-to-pick-up-years-to-master sort of games... except for that minutes-to-pick-up part. You'll have to lose a few games before you start to get the hang of things. Once you get out of the tutorials, then the true beatings begin.

GamesRadar.com has posted their review of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and give it an Editors’ Choice! “Rebellion isn't lacking in polish or extra content.
