Critic Reviews for Stellaris

Stellaris is the Paradox grand strategy game you need to play.

Stellaris combines watertight strategic gameplay with a wonderful sense of exploration to create a thrilling and engrossing spacefaring grand strategy title.

The early game promises an instant strategy classic, but Stellaris is unable to maintain that pace.

Stellaris is filled with good ideas, and it's not difficult to see the outline of a great space strategy game where those ideas could come together. But beyond the early game, it's only compelling in bits and pieces – it turns into a largely uneventful slog after that. Paradox has developed a reputation of major upgrades to their games for years after launch, and Stellaris is going to need all that love and more to reach its potential.

A disappointingly flawed grand strategy game, which for every good idea seems to have another that works actively against it.

A series of small tasks makes Stellaris easy to jump into, but hard to put down without completing that "one last thing"

Stellaris gives you the stars as your playground, proving that Paradox capably translates some of their strategy game prowess into space.
