Every game begins with a civilization that has just discovered the means to travel between stars and is ready to explore the galaxy. Have your science ships survey and explore anomalies, leading you into a myriad of quests, introducing strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that may completely change your outcome.
With characteristically complex unique planets and celestial bodies, you will enter a whirlwind of spectacles in a highly detailed universe.
Through customization and procedural generation, you will encounter infinitely varied races. Choose positive or negative traits, specific ideologies, limitations, evolutions or anything you can imagine. Interact with others through the advanced diplomacy system. Diplomacy is key in a proper grand strategy adventure. Adjust your strategy to your situation through negotiation and skill.
An eternal cycle of war, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances await you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets, where adaptation is the key to victory. Choose from an array of complex technologies when designing and customizing your ships with the complex ship designer. You have a multitude of capabilities to choose from to meet the unknown quests that await.
Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space.

Amazing
If you like sci fi and grand strategy this is for you. The dev team are constantly working on ways to make it better and are active with the community that play it. You might need to say goodbye to your social life however because this game keeps you drawn in for a long time! Buy it and enjoy.

Controls do not work.
Stellaris is meant to be a relatively big and well-designed astro strategy game. And, well, the concept is good, the graphics are nice, music is apt, gameplay is rather rich in options -- or it would be, but unfortunately the developers failed in providing even the minimum functionality for their product. There is an old bug, for instance, which prevents context menus from showing up. But those are essential for the gameplay. Therefore it does not even deserve a single point out of 5. It does not work. No more gameplay to consider there. Therefore alone, Stellaris is a clear fail -- except for those who like to spend their idle time by installing and uninstalling to no avail. Even though in general GOG seems to be facing rather severe quality management problems these days, I would attribute this specific unfunctionality to the developer, Paradox Interactive. It has been a well-known bug for years.

Great unplayable game
This game could be great but it's unplayable. Whatever you play it with, lag will kill your game before you can end it. Too bad
