This is the best space strategy game out there. Bought this game at release and it just keeps getting better.
I actually would recommend the game it's really good, but paradox's newer DLC expansions use generative AI so like nah
I used to love this game but unfortunately, the devs have resorted to using AI slop. Even before that, they made alot of weird decisions with this game and kept reworking core gameplay features seemingly every year, usually for the worse and making it more bland or too rigid, giving it less customizable playstyles, experiences or roleplay which was the main draw for me that made me overlook it's flaws initially. The overpriced DLC spam also feels like an actual scam. Do not support these devs or this game, it's not worth your money.
fun game but almost 400€ of DLC ...
Downvoting for the aggressively greedy DLC practises. Downvoting for the menu screen DLC advertisements. Downvoting for the FOMO race creation screen DLC advertisements. Finally, downvoting for filling the game with AI slop - from "generating ideas" to generating assets, to the voice work. Lazy garbage. Lazy -expensive- garbage.
I am at the point where i cant recommend this, it was fun, real fun, but the blatant greed, horrible ai, bad mechanics and devs who seemingly want to pump out more dlcs rather than fix existing ones, and with dlcs that SHOULD be in the base game but just exist to feed the greed of paradox costing a total of like 375 bucks. its just not worth it
在你没完全玩懂前是这个游戏最好玩的时候,一旦你玩明白了,游戏理解上来了,你就会发现这游戏简直就是一坨大粪。非常差劲的平衡性以及数不尽的bug,再加上蠢驴及其简陋的代码和游戏策划完全不及格的游戏理解共同组成了这个游戏。我承认我被丰富多彩的太空故事给深深吸引,但崩坏的数值设计又让我玩的反胃。这游戏玩得越久就越能体会到有多恶心
Over $300 for the full game??? Come on now...
With Stellaris now showing that it is using generative AI in it's development for the core game and DLC, I can no longer recommend this title. AI steals from other people from all levels of talent and it's data centres use costly amount of resources, damages nature and people living nearby. I will not tolerate this in my hobby and will cut other titles that use AI.
Unfortunately, because of the constant updating that breaks mods, along with the AI-generated DLCs and AI code, Stellaris used to be good but has become absolute trash, sadly. Multiplayer is just completely broken it just keeps desyncing and cant even play modded multiplayer.
