Introduction:

Stellaris is a 4x strategy game in which you create your own empire out of a great variety of ethics, civics, authority, races, traits and many more aspects. You spawn in in a galaxy of your desired size alongside other empires who are competing with you for galactic domination. During your quest towards complete domination, you will encounter various event logs which are worth the read, other civilizations, enigmatic space-faring creatures and space pirates.

Pros:

- Amazing visuals you can stare at for quite some time, although their impact on gameplay is minimal.
- Deep empire building aspect to the game.
- A lot of unlockable content with DLCs which, in my opinion, are all worth their price (except the species portraits).
- Multiplayer is absolutely great if you have the friends needed.

Cons:

- Steep learning curve.
- In long-lasting matches, lag is frequent.
- Increasing enemy difficulty does not make them smarter, rather it gives them more resources.
