This DLC and the patch it comes with (2.0) were a big step forward for Stellaris, and in addition not too many features are gated behind a paywall, DLC is worth it on sale or not.

Un gioco con una trama "ricca" che si dipana un po' troppo lentamente ma è comunque coinvolgente e articolata. Le immagini statiche sono di buona qualità, così come le musiche. Sono presenti anche alcuni "effetti" scenici che rafforzano l'impatto complessivo della storia. Dal punto di vista tecnico, il game è datato: risente molto del passare del tempo e propone una lunga serie di scene con oggetti nascosti decisamente vecchio stile (eccessivamente piene per i gusti di oggi!) e che vengono riproposte più volte. Non tutti i mini-giochi sono di facile comprensione: spesso mancano spiegazioni precise su come affrontarli. Non esiste una mappa e quindi si è costretti a lunghi giri, semplificati solo se si ricorre all'aiuto che "spiega" le azioni da compiere. Nota positiva: la serie di aneddoti sulla Statua della Libertà disseminati qua e là, che rappresentano un tocco di qualità. Tre stelle e il consiglio di acquistarlo per qualche ora di divertimento senza troppo impegno e senza pretendere troppo. Giocato con iMac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan.

[A game with a "rich" plot that unfolds a little too slowly but is nevertheless engaging and articulated. The static images are of good quality, as well as the music. There are also some scenic "effects" that reinforce the overall impact of the story. From a technical point of view, the game is dated: it is much affected by the passage of time and offers a long series of scenes with very old-fashioned hidden objects (too full for today's tastes!) And which are repeated several times. Not all mini-games are easy to understand: there are often no precise explanations on how to deal with them. There is no map and so you are forced to long laps, simplified only if you use the help that "explains" the actions to be performed. Positive note: the series of anecdotes about the Statue of Liberty scattered here and there, representing a touch of quality. Three stars and the advice to buy it for a few hours of fun without too much effort and without asking too much. Played with iMac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan.]

New race and espionage. While new race is very interesting with it's technology aquisition, the new mechanic is just okay.

While not absolutely necessary or groundbreaking, the additions it provides are nice and make for a more interesting gameplay.

Some interesting focus trees, but not much mechanically new or exciting.

The focus trees are a bit less exciting this time, but the new mechanics are excellent.

Same issues as the above reviewer. Son't waste your time.

Decent time management game, but not worth buying in my opinion as it doesn't feel polished enough. Graphics are glitchy (at least on my system - may be due to being a 10-year-old game), and if you accidentally click the wrong thing during a tutorial, it won't let you correct your mistake, and you have to restart the game.

This game is more than it looks like. Fun, difficult and cheap.

This is a completely awesome game, but... well, I'm terrible at it. I am soooo BAD!
