a very complex game, but until now, it seems interesting. The only thing I am disappointed is the price of the game and its dlcs. And the amount of dlcs as well... I mean, couldn't it already be within the game?
The game has left a lasting impression on me over the years. This game shows the love and dedication the devs put into making this game into a rich experience for a player. Plus it seems like they aren't going to leave it behind, but rather give it the lasting care it needs to hold up over time.
Its a good game. 4/5 because nothing is perfect. And for me the frustrating part is taking over other factions. Holy moly thats anoying and it killed the game for me in the end.
I found it was way over-rated. It's more sandbox than strategy. For a game with all it's research and science officers not to even have a viable science victory option seems shallow for me.. You explore, build ships and settle, yes fun in the beginning but soon you are totally blocked in and then it becomes repetitive and tedious. Diplomacy is extremely dull.
While it is pretty to look at, to call it a great "strategy " game just doesn't ring true for me...
I've played many many hours of this game and own it on Steam and GOG. I like suporting it because I'd love to see the development continue or even see a Stellaris II someday. I think the base game and the DLC are well worth the price. But if you are just curious, it's fine to jump in and play with only the base game and then pick and choose DLC that suites your interests.
That said, they have been makign some drastic changes to the game mechanics lately and it's not always great. I much preferred the old style of needing to research jump drives or FTL drives -- felt more natural that way if you are a fledgling space species.
Good luck and have fun.
