  1. Good and Getting Better

    Stellaris is an interesting mix of bits and pieces from many different games. First and foremost is Paradox's normal grand strategy bits, but it also takes inspiration from Master of Orion, Sins of a Solar Empire, Civilization, and many other strategy games that have come before it. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not. The good news is that the game is still being actively developed. Bugs are being fixed, there's a lively modding community, new free updates and new paid DLC come out regularly, even 5 years in.

  2. OK if you like the genre

    Nice empire customisation, great exploration in early game, gets bogged down in mid game. Poor combat, all games seem samey after a while

  3. Excellent 4x game, boring without DLCs

    It's a fun game with the DLCs and expansions, but without it is kind of mediocre.
