As it stands, some mechanics need to be added, and sectors might make you mad, but it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable game as it is. If you’ve ever felt like checking 4X games out but been overwhelmed by their complexity, this is the game you’re looking for. If you want to play the most bitchin’ race of mushroom slavers this side of the Kappa belt, this game is also for you, but maybe you should rethink your values. Trust me, doesn’t pay off late game. Friggin’ bird-people and their morals. Disgusting."
Stellaris: Biogenesis offers a whole new world of biology-driven conquest, allowing players to reshape the galaxy — and themselves.
A new phenomenon has been observed around the Galaxy - storms are sweeping through system. Prepare your Empire and brace to face this new upcoming threat, and leverage possibilities that open when your opponents are weakened by it.
Seeing an AI disclaimer in a video game naturally incites distaste, but it looks like Stellaris has used AI as ethically as possible
Best strategy game I played since long. It's allready fun as hell (if you like 4x strategy and Scifi).
With some expansions and modding this could get a real masterpiece.
