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 :).
  • Lot of content
  • Good gameplay
  • Fair price
  • Lack of guide

Really awesome grand strategy game, as expected from a producer such as Paradox Interactive. It's a little tricky to get the hang of at first, but after the first game you begin to understand the mechanics and micromanagement involved.

it's great, really cheap in comparison to the original price and received it immediately after and the fact that it's a really great game makes it better...............................................

After 3 install, it does'nt work, the launcher freeze while 30min. I got a recent PC and enough strong to run the game. There are so many ways to fix it, i tried and abandonned.

Too much disappointment

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.

  • Complex

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.

Best 4X Strategy in space in my opinion.
Great value for money but you need the DLC to have a complete experience.
Early and mid-game you can role-play and craft a story but in late-game is a bit of a micromanagement nightmare and lacks concrete goals to achieve.
The game got a lot fo updates that changed the way it's being played.

Among the top-5 5€ i ever spent on anything. Very fun game with great replay value. You get the most enjoyment out of the game if you play with friends. You have almost endless oportunities and it never got boring.

I honestly haven't been able to stop playing this, I have over a thousand hours and and well on my way to two thousand with the constantly up to date content and endless RP possibility for empire building.
  • Nearly endless replayability
  • Games take a long time to finish

Fun 4X game. First one I've played and it was simple enough with a short guide to get started and have fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is starting to play 4X games for the first time, or anyone that is a 4X vet, as I believe they'd also have a significant amount of fun with the game.
  • Late game feels amazing
  • Extremely fun with friends
  • Early game is a slogfest

Das Spiel macht sehr viel Spaß, wenn man sich darin erstmal zurecht findet. Zum Anfang war es nämlich immer wieder frustrierend wenn man bestimmte Dinge in den vielen Menüs nicht gefunden hat. Sowohl der Single und Multiplayer Modus hat einiges zu bieten und mit Mods kann das Spieleerlebnis auch noch aufgewertet werden.

Was die DLCs angeht. Nun das Spiel habe ich zu beginn nur mit Mods gespielt aber ohne DLCs. Ich kann jetzt also nicht mehr sagen, was Hauptspiel und was eine Mod war. Ich glaube aber, dass das Spiel auch ohne Mods Spaß macht. Die DLCs sind hier genauso wie bei allen anderen Paradox Spielen. Ein wenig Kontent bekommt man kostenlos, aber der Rest ist hinter einer Paywall versteckt. Auf "bestimmten" Websiten bekommt man diese jedoch auch billiger.
Da muss jeder selbst entscheiden, ob er die kaufen will. Es geht wie gesagt aber auch mit Mods genausogut.
  • Gameplay
  • aktive Modding-Comunity
  • Atmosphäre & Musik
  • (DLC Politik)
  • tw. kompliziertes Menü

Eines der besten mir bekannten Strategie Spiele. Mit Steam Workshop die Möglichkeit des Moddens wie z.b. Star Trek oder Star Gate Universen. Andere nutzen Rundenbasiertes Gameplay, Stellaris spielt sich in Echtzeit
  • Echtzeit
  • Erweiterund des Teritoriums nur mit Aussenposten.
