Stellaris is a great game. With just 5 hours played, at the point this review is written, I may haven´t experienced the whole range of this game, but to this point it has been an absolute blast. When you first step into the game (after creating your own race, which took me about 30 minutes), you get overwhelmed by the awesome design this game has. Feeling like the conquerer of the universe, your goal is to expand your empire, found colonies and lead wars against other empires, which can be AI or other players in the multiplayer mode. The interface is well structured and easy to handle. After some time, you might lose your orientation a bit, but with time it gets better and you get used to where to look for your ships. The contact interface with other alien species is extremtley well desinged and talking to other life, is very interesting. Coming to solutions suitable for both parties might not be easy and take some time, but in the end you´ll come to a good end. All in all I strongly recommend this game to every strategy veteran, as well as the people new to this genre. Furthermore, the soundtrack is so great, I could listen to it all day.
I´d rate this game 9.5/10
