You manage a spaceship and go on missions. You move the crew around to the several stations. It is good game but can soemtimes feel very unfair.
For those that played the previous game bomber crew; IMO bomber crew is a better game. While the mission variety is much smaller in the bomber crew game I think it captures the stress much better than in this space game.
This DLC expands your prison activities by adding agriculture and green energy to your prison. these new funds are great for more alternative types of prisons so you no longer have to treat patients badly to have a lot of profit I give it 3 starts because it is rather small. These new activities are good but they don't change the prison or expand the way the game plays. In short buy it if yo uwant more content for the game but ignore it if you aren't starting a new prison.
Necroids adds a new type of portraits that try to invoke death/undead feelings. They are really well done with lot of varied from vampires , zombies to dealth cultist. THe new 3d models are also very cool to look at! The major issue of this pack is the new playable mechanics. 1 new origin and 3 new civic traits. While this new content is good it seems to be lacking when compared to other portrait packs such as machines and lithoids. It still has more content that Plantoids and humanoids.
I'd say if you want more portraits to have a more varied galaxy this pack is exactly what you are looking for. If you want to experience a new way to play Stellaris it might be wise to wait for a sale
Crusader kings 3 is an excellent sequel to CK2. CK3 doubles down on roleplaying and increasing the depth in the relationship of characters. The UI revamp also makes the game much clearer to understand and important mechanics no longer are hidden behind menus. ALongside this the tooltips being much more informative makes for much easier to follow why something happens. While CK3 doesn't bring every mechanic from ck2, IMO, what it does is done better than in CK2. If Ck3 is supported for years like CK2 was i can see this game become one of the most impressive strategy titles every done.
IMO Spanish civil war was really the weakest point in HOI IV. with this DLC it brings iberia into WWII in a really interesting way. With spanish capable of having a 4 way civil war! THis DLC also allows for spain to be able to join late WWII and catch a little those that don't have the civil war to deal with Portugal is also interesting to dabble in. France and vichy france national focus trees are also ok.
IMo this DLC is a must have as it makes Iberia a part of the map that does compete eventually in WWII (if historical focuses are not turned on)
This DLC expands the naval part of the game as well as the USA and british tree. It also adds National focus to the netherlands and Mexico. The new trees for USA and bristish are really nice allowing you a lot of freedom on how to shape your country. Netherlands is really hard since managing a middle ground between allies and axis is almost impossible. Mexico is a bit easy sicne as long as you don't attack the USA you can expand your territory in central america then join one side of WWII.
IMO i think this DLC is good as long as you want to play with the above.
I found this DLC ok. I think while making a zoo interesting and fun it feels inferior to games dedicated to it. Alongside this the tools are a bit clunky and you almost have to fight them to do what you want. That said when it works it makes your city feel very different
You take control of a merc company in a universe that uses mechs to fight. the tacticval combat is very detailed and makes for very interesting fights. Graphics and animations are ok but the fun of the game is all about managing your company and your mechs. As you slowly advance through the story and build your own mechs the way you like them. it is an excelent game for strategic enthusiasts!
I found the game to be average. It has some interesting puzzles and story beats but on the whole it is nothing new to the genre. I'd recommend it if you want a point and click and have played the more unique ones.
This DLC adds a lot of content: Makes federations a real fun challenge for mid/ late game. More roleplay aspects to them. makes the ONU in the galaxy which allows for some really weird roleplays like managing to get a lot of votes and basically single handely decide the rules of the galaxy, similar to palpatine in star wars gives some cool new super weapons for war like empires. I specially like the mobile factory!
Deepens the Industry of the game while making your highways full of trucks!
This DLC is interesting and well worth buying. It allows you to make industry supply lines that allow you to supply your comercial zone without resorting to imports.
The only problem of this DLC is that if you can master the industry and keep the necessary resources and pathways clear than you will be swimming in a lot of money which makes the game much easier.
This DLC improves catholic and pagan factions. At the catholic part it heavily increases roleplay due to more interactions witht he pope like baptims. This incrases the improtance of having a good relationship with the pope. Ont he apgan side a costomizable religion as well as a lot of roleplay options like new warrior societies. If you like base ck2 then this DLC is well worth the full price
This is PDS game that heavily focuseds on min-max. It kinda lacks a lot of the roleplay aspects of games such as ck2 and stellaris. It shines with its HUGE map that makes moving armies hard.The battles are also much easier to understand instead of the mess that is EU Iv and CK2.
Note despite the game being average right now it has been heavily updated by PDS. It will probably be still updated for a while so do check the game to see if it has improved.
An interesting DLC for those that want to play tall
This new government type focuses on playing tall while giving penalties for playing wide. Due to the focus on making money it makes these factions play slightly different from the usual. It specially shines in multiplayer where you can help finance wars with loans! I highly recommend this DLC if you want to play stellaris with a few planets instead of an empire.
A small but interesting features is the 3 unique advisor voices that are very very unique.
The unique focus tree as well as the unit packs and the other unique mechanics make playing in the britsh isles very different from vanilla. With the new free additions to ireland this DLC also makes Ireland much more interesting.
The universal mechanics like innovativeness, naval doctrine and the coal resource are OK but not worth playing full price if you aren't going to play in the british isles.
Adds a lot of interesting content to the early-mid game
This DLC addas a lot of events most of which have chains that tell interesting stories. It makes the first part of the game, when you are exploring the galaxy feel like a start trek episode. Alongside the events you have new leviathans and the L-gate (special event). The L-gate is a closed gateway to a system outside the galaxy, as you transverse the galaxy you find clues on how to unlock this gate. The question is: is the gate closed to keep you out if their riches or to keep something in?
If you like stellaris this DLC is a worthwhile purchase.
