    The wide variety of changes and brand new “apocalyptic” features introduced with the expansion or as part of the free 2.0 update add great strategic depth and new narrative paths, taking Stellaris one step closer towards its destined objective of becoming the ultimate 4X space grand strategy game of our times.

    A really solid base for a 4X game with plenty of good ideas and a nice presentation. It´s just lacking a bit of content, especially at the endgame.

    With the revamp of war, naval combat, technological additions and managing territory, Stellaris: Apocalypse might even be a more ambitious addition than last year’s Stellaris: Utopia. Stellaris only seems to journey towards a brighter future and Stellaris: Apocalypse paves the way for it to shine.

    Every part of Stellaris is still here; the pieces have just been rearranged, neatly.

    Fixes many bad concepts (like cheap wormholes - they can be still built but are expensive and appear late-game, manual fleet management,Fixes many bad concepts (like cheap wormholes - they can be still built but are expensive and appear late-game, manual fleet management, one-stack-fleet, etc.). It is a step to the right direction.

    One big issue is still remaining: there is a need to redesign planet management; development is silly and infantile. Remove buildings, set governor on EACH planet automatically (it is ridiculous that 6 billion of people live on the planet but there is a problem with governor), let develop it (or not) based on some focuses and population preferences. It is so easy to implement...

    Edit: after playing another dozen hours, I must say that it is annoying. Not balanced at all. Hostile events are generated so often (ie. specter on very early game destoying all acquired systems but only human player!) so rage quit and bye.    … Full Review »

With almost 900 hours in this game, I can tell you that this patch is the worst thing they've done with Stellaris. There are a few interesting bonuses, Titans, planet killers, etc... But we had those through mods before. So all this new patch does is slow it down a HUGE amount and it removes a few things.

    The only real positive is the new border colors are much MUCH better.    … Full Review »
