April 2025
Wish there was a more generalized open campaign. Looking at the DLC and its apparently only a few missions which isn't exactly an entire galaxy as advertised. I completed all of the campaign in 6 hours. Will recommend for on sale but otherwise is too sparse in content to deserve a full thumbs up. Give me this at 1/4 the size of a max size stellaris galaxy and then we'll talk. I'll micromanage and make my planets prosperous, not this four planets rubbish.

This is a strategy game more than a "make it look nice" colony-builder, I think if you just want to build a beautiful city, this is probably not a game for you. If you're more into the strategic side, it's great! There's a demo you can try out. The art is beautiful, voice acting is okay, enemy AI is good. The campaign didn't convince me personally (although it's good to start there, at least the first 1-2 planets, because I think it contained the tutorial), but free game and weekly challenges are great. Lots of replayability. Depending on the starting company you choose, you get different perks and already unlocked buildings. You also get some tech licenses that you use for unlocking more buildings, research licenses you use for unlocking expansions of those buildings (e.g. improving production, profit, CO2 emission, ...), etc. You can also research further expansions when you ran out of licenses to unlock them right away. So every game is different, depending on what choices you make. There are different types of planets, biomes on planets, a stock market, world congress that can decide on taxes or subsidies, natural disasters (which also might get worse, depending on how you treat the planet), ...

Really good game, challenging, creative and fun at the same time. I wish it was longer ie. more galaxies and more planets for the campaign. However thumbs up.

The game is a ton of fun, from a chill and build perspective. Lots to do on the different campaign missions. After the campaign though there isnt a lot besides like setting up custom planets and challenges on single planets. I'd love to see something like an open world to play to. Like lots to do like the campaign but just from lots of planets and other corporations. Be cool to pick from multiple planets and sort of upgrade your corporations as you go. The visuals are pretty nice and not much for bugs or any crashes, A few annoying things like enemy city placement and no way to just like nuke them away and some other issues for how borders work but overall its pretty balanced.

I love this game. It is a strategy-based game which feel rare these days, and challenges me all the time. I found the campaign short but difficult in normal mode and feel it was great value for money. It works on my laptop with the same res settings as my gaming rig which is great as I get to play this while my partner plays RPG games on the rig. I am obsessed with fusion energy, planting trees of every variety in every part of the planet based on regional temperament. In addition I love taking over non-green competitors cities by hacking their stock markets and releasing propaganda. LMFAO
