Reviews

The early game promises an instant strategy classic, but Stellaris is unable to maintain that pace.

PC Gamer

 

Stellaris is not a perfect game, but it is one that is ever improving. It is far better now than it was two years ago, and I firmly believe it will be even better two years from now.

Trusted Reviews

 

Stellaris is filled with good ideas, and it’s not difficult to see the outline of a great space strategy game where those ideas could come together.
