    While certainly not without its flaws in its initial form of release, MegaCorp, together with the 2.2 patch that accompanies it, offers some of the most substantial gameplay changes and additions we've seen from a Stellaris expansion to date.

    The update seems to have quite a few bugs, with A.I. behaving strangely, and for large empires, the micromanagement for planets might simply be too much. Additional resources to look out for, some that are planet specific, are laborious to learn, and even more so to acquire at times, with the galactic resource trading system feeling a little basic. Overall, though, I'm still loving Stellaris, and I eagerly anticipate where it'll go next.

    It may take a while to get used to the change, but it should prove to lengthen the longevity of the game.

    MegaCorp is a decent inclusion to Paradox Interactive's spacefaring strategy sim. Sadly, it can be overshadowed by what the free update already provides to the core Stellaris experience.

    Megacorp is a refreshing expansion, mainly because it shows that economy can be fun and interesting when it is represented by interesting features and not just by numbers and a same-old 4x market and trade system. But much of that seamless simplicity is lost in the convoluted additions of the 2.2 update. Stellaris is still a great game and this is a good expansion, but it unfortunately lands in what seems to have been received as a negative update.

    A must-have expansion to those players who dream of creating their own interstellar corporate empire.

    For me, there's really no question on whether to buy this or not. Doing a complete overhaul of the population mechanics, adding in trade as an important system, allowing you access to being megacorporations or mega-cults, throwing in a little slave trade while you're at it? For $20 US, it's a solid purchase.

    Stellaris: Megacorp is a prime example of how you can make the greatest game in the world and still manage to ruin it when your qualityStellaris: Megacorp is a prime example of how you can make the greatest game in the world and still manage to ruin it when your quality control is garbage. The new economic system and corporate empires are interesting additions to the game, and I'd love to be able to give you full and fleshed out impressions of them, but it's impossible to properly play the game due to software related stuttering that begins in the mid-game and gets progressively worse, enemy AI is also completely defunct removing any challenge from the game and to cap it all off there's an absolute plethora of other less serious bugs. What we're left with is an expansion that feels rushed to launch and desperately under-baked.

    2/10 may seem like a very harsh score, but I consider that generous given that they sold me a game that over two weeks post launch I'm still unable to play it.    … Expand
