I have been playing Stellaris since release. Honestly i should have more hours, but i like waiting for new content, with each DLC the game gets so much better.
With machine age, it has impressed so much more.
The Synthetic Fertility origin interacts with older Stellaris events in new ways. I am impressed by the details. I had to make a review after encountering such events.

I initially fell in love with the events, as a sci-fi and space nerd every event is intriguing.
i havnt done much with the modding scene, but i skim through looking at creations every so often.

You can play slow for the story of your empire or and if you don't care for the story, it is an amazing 4X game.

The only con is how expensive the DLCs are and for a new player, it's a lot. Lucky the have a subscription model for all the DLCs, but the base game is stile very good and i recommend buying what you like on sale.
