    Solid and complex space 4x strategy game. Very fun to play, plenty of options and with a lot of alternatives and modes to play... tends to become boring late game, and the DLC politic is unacceptable

    A stunning first step into space for strategy's superstars - and a great gateway to their other games. [July 2016, p.76]

    It was really hard for me to break away from Stellaris’ grip to write this review. It’s one of those gems you launch in the evening for a moment but quit at dawn. [07/2016, p.50]

    Stellaris feels like two games of completely different quality. One game offers boring linear stand-offs against a tame AI, the other is an excellent multiplayer platform.
