A great strategy game for anyone interested in World war 2. Easy to learn, hard to master.

This might only be my problem but although I enjoyed the setting and story and gameplay this game continually freezes and crashes on me unfortunately.

Truly one of the greatest 4X games of this decade! Stellaris is easily a staple in any 4X lover's games library. The amount of customization available when making an empire ensures that every playthrough can be unique and fun. With substantial modding support as well, this game ensures that you can enjoy it for many, many hours.

Adding the capabilities to destroy planets is a great inclusion- every galactic empire needs a Death Star. The Marauders on the other hand, serve as a balancing system that can be used to keep empires in check. If they set their sites on you, you're in for a bad time. However, if you have enough resources to entice them to target a rival, you'll be able to use their devastating might to your advantage.

Later in the game, they may pose a threat to the galaxy at large. An excellent level of RNG to make the game interesting.

It's basically a series of jigsaw puzzles set into a storyline. While the presentation is gorgeous, the gameplay is monotonous.

This storypack expands on a lot of exploration in Stellaris. Adding a load of anomalies to always keep exploration interesting as well as adding a few event chains that can be followed through much like a questline. The true meat of the pack is the L-Cluster gates. These gates add an excellent degree of RNG to any game. You never know if they'll lead to salvation or destruction.
