A fantastic strategy game that allows you to create a civilization you wish it to be. Do you wish to become a conqueror of the stars? Go for it. Do you simply wish to befriend and coexist with other lifeforms? That's also possible. You can decide how build your civilization...for a price. Paradox games are extremely costly. In order to have the full experience, you're required to purchase multiple DLCs that should've been part of the game and they keep adding more. Some expansions are extremely poorly made and overpriced. If not for it being so long since release and me being bored I might not have bought it. Docking stars because of Paradox's pricing.
