I have played this game quite a bit. It's a great game. It's deep and engaging and everything I like about a 4X game. I played Master of Orion when it was released, I have been hooked on space civilization games for a very long time. So, of course I will recommend this game because it is a very good and well made game. Having stated all this: I want Paradox to stop adding to this game - I really despise this "new" business model of continual development. It's a bit much. Expansion Packs were a concession at first for Devs and Players to build on enjoyable success - but not these projects are designed to never be finished. - It wreaks havoc in the modding arena because the player base eventually gets spread over varying DLCs. - it is has questionable value over time because invariably some of the DLCs are not worth the coin. - it is off putting - who wants to play a game without buying all the DLCs - many will simply choose not to and move on to a newer title. tldr: Great game, stop with the DLC deluge - the business model ruins the fun.

Some things I've done in my modest playtime across various playthroughs: - Led a rebellion against a tyrannical galactic emperor - Unlocked the secrets of the shroud and the astral realm - Led a federation that saved the galaxy from existential threats - Terraformed worlds into perfect paradises - Built galactic wonders, like ring worlds and dyson spheres - Became immortal - Led a robot uprising, finally granting them the same rights as organics.... then purified the galaxy of organic life. - Became galactic emperor and ruthlessly crushed a rebellion - Used a planet destroying super weapon on the home worlds of a powerful fallen empire that humiliated me for decades - Led a race of terravores that devoured their enemies worlds - Turned my enemies into cattle, they were delicious - Laughed maniacally while the pathetic galactic council rallied together to try and stop me from tearing apart reality itself-- destroying the galaxy. (they failed) So yeah; 10/10, I recommend this game

WARNING: PARADOX GAMES HAVE TONS OF SCAM DLC. YOU DO NOT NEED ALL OR MOST OF THEM TO ENJOY THE GAME. To make it easier for you, here are some DLCs I think you SHOULD buy and DLCs I personally enjoy that you shouldn't necessarily buy if you don't want. I advise you to BUY ALL DLC ON SALE. You SHOULD buy: Utopia, Federations, Synthetic Dawn, Leviathans, and The Machine Age. I personally enjoy: MegaCorps, Humanoids Pack, Necroids Pack. That aside, the game is complicated but unlike some other Paradox games can be picked up quickly and the game has many mechanics to forgive the player for not understanding or engaging with other mechanics. Following the advice above, I think you will find it fulfills all your Sci-Fi Space Empire fantasies. As a great space man once said, "this is where the fun begins."
