Stellaris Review - Is It Worth it?!

2022 UPDATE! I updated the title to 2022 because every word I said I STILL stand by in 2022. If anything major (good or bad) will change I will make a new video.
If you feel like its cheating and prefer to see IGN 2016 review on the top of the search results, let me know. Every opinion matters to me.

Cheers for the great review, I’m going to get a copy of Stellaris now

overdone garbage!

Try X4 - Foundations

I mean…American politics is a pretty similar game. We have Unbidden and Covfefe in that simulation too.

yeaa i think id reather play a game that you know i actually play

future releases close to this game should include a general advisor to aid in setup and playthru! with option off of course! you could drown in it's complexity

Sounds like an advanced version of Master of Orion 3?

A similar game might be Civilization VI, as you asked in the intro

Eve online is similar in terms of not knowing what to do for a long time

I wanted to love this game but constant DLCs that are basically patches/fixes. Lets not forget the AI is terrible. Typical paradox game.

I cant wait for a star wars mods for this make a empire

i love the idea and all but the game plays way too much like Hears of Iron 4 and at this point its meh.
Simpler, less choice a and choice b would be better. too much work for a game to get things rolling. spying and all the diplomatic stuff is very meh.
Medival 2 total war i feel is decent hahaha. jkjk. Idk just not feeling the extensiveness of shit you click, modifier ontop of more modifiers is annoying.
Unless I'm overthinking it as always.

Doesn't look like gameplay, looks like spreadsheets with an occasional video.
What am I missing?

Dwarf Fortress is one of those games you were describing

I finally bought this game last month and I can't stop playing it! Love your videos about it.

Hows the console version compared to the pc?

I can't believe I am only now seeing this review, it's absurd that I almost skipped this game. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR REVIEWS!!!

Had no clue the game got this insane and I've been debating on purchasing it since the day it came out.

first 2 mins Sounds a bit like what China is doing... lol

I keep looking at this game. Then I see the number of DLCs and their prices...

Not sure a game is worth the current $289. :/

EDIT: I literally made this comment, and then he talked about the number of expansions.

The part where he said customize your fleet sold me. Already so much good explained and then bam! Yes sir i am downloading this rn... paused the video just to type this lmmmaaaooo

Do you know if there is a trisolaris mod from the three body problem series?

A game with so many paid DLC always make me feel great when I torrent them. This is a superb game!

Hey, I think I will buy the game. But I still have 2 questions. 1. is the game as usual with Paradox poorly explained and you have to watch many tutorial before you understand it? & 2. may be that I have overheard it but does the game hang in the end game or does it still run smoothly so in big battles that you mostly lead at the end?

Just bought this on sale. Wish me luck and thanks for all your awesome videos...

I can vouch that this game will devour months

Elite Dangerous has consumed me

Great Reviews my friend !

OK THAT IT FOR FUCK SAKE YOU ARE ONLY CLIKCING UI STUFF DUDE; YOU HAVE NO GAME; YOU HAVE NO CINEMATIC ANYTHING; YOU HAVE NO GAMELOOP; WHY IS THIS EVEN A GAME?????????????????????????

This looks boring as fuck. Like what do you even do? Just click shit in menus? I've never seen any gameplay for this game its just clicking on random shit in menus.

Omg the constant clicking after every screen change is infuriating

Yep I’ll stick to rimworld

why can this dude read my mind...

All of the things you said you can't do in other games..... you can do in other games like MOO, Endless Space, etc.

Great review! For me the game is about adding DLCs and mods, removing DLCs and mods, experimenting, changing, rearranging, and don't give a crap if I win or lose. It is just an ongoing, never ending, adventuring challenge.

Sounds like 🇨🇳

I play stellaris, i love stellaris and this guy is talking a lot of bullshit.

This is really good on ps4!

Thanks!

Terra Invicta is just such an example from the intro.... Wondering if I should buy this game now given my first space game was Terra Invicta, so really new to this genre.

Other than "where all your sci-fi and space fantasies can come true" the answer to your opening question is Chess

So does anyone know how complicated the game is? I don’t know a whole lot about strategy micromanaging games so basically what I’m asking is will my peanut brain be able to actually play this cause it looks like an amazing game, just really intimidating

i cant understand you and you talk too fast, thumbs down.
