Very interesting and complex game, certainly not suited for a newbie in strategy games. Hours will pass and you will not notice it.
Probably the most awesome game of this style i have tried in years: there is always something new to learn, the tech tree is nearly infinite, customizing your race to start taking over the galaxy is really fun, kinda like building your character in an RPG game, even though this is a strategy game, and the space battles are just incredible.

This is a fun past time game that turned into a very intricate and time consuming play! Its command and conquer style is very fun, the governing and settlement building is very fun. The race to explore and take over worlds before other races is always fun and challenging! Its crusader kings in space!
- Lots to do and manage
- very intricate
- Governing and polotics
- time consuming
- not a whole lot of mods

Always loved the strategic type of games, let alone the ones that can be played in space.
Harder to learn without guide, but nothing is impossible, and google is our friend :D.
Fairly good amount of content (but DLC's are welcome), the gameplay quickly got you in, so prepare for a longer session.
For me it is also really fun with friends, and with steam workshop the possibilites are endless.
Good game for a good price :).

i love strategy games like this in space where you can play anyone while doing an inter galactic warfare XD
- i've played a bit and graphics are fantastic, tho beware of the lag in late game, idk if its only for me

Now stellaris is the definition of good soup. If the soup is setting the galaxy on fire to see what happens and good is the utter carnage you can wreck on any empire. Stellaris is a strategy game similar to hearts of iron but in space so the possibility is infinite
- Endless amount of galaxy domination
- Great mod support
- Being a cult that purifies and worships planets and much more
- a lot of pain dlc
- a lot of time investment to see endgame
- a lot of micromanagment

Plus, if you ever got to build a titan and use it...oh, man! I just can put down in words the feeling of destroying a planet like Tarkin did in SW...you will have to try it yourself.
Only one flow: it's reeeeally difficult to understand. It lacks a guide, so you will need a few days to finally keep up the pace with AI, but once you do you are probably ready to get to the end game. I recommend to buy some DLC too, they are really worth it.

- Complex
- Captivating
- Good graphics
- Enduring, there is always some other combination that you didn't tried
- Lack of a Guide, for a game this complex it would have really helped.
