Stellaris Update.

[ChrisC]

Stellaris has had a major update and it's running smoother than ever on my somewhat under powered laptop.

Got this on the PS5, quite a bit of fun!

 

[ChrisC]

Yeah, my only gripe is the cash cow that is all the DLC. So much DLC. They keep changing the game mechanics too. Which although not overly a problem. More of an irritant. Anyway I'm kinda addicted to Supreme Commander at the moment. Taking a rest from Stellaris.

Yeah there is bloody tons, so much so I'm not really sure what's worth getting or not!

Do you have a fairly hefty PC?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Nope, I'm playing on PS5.

 

[ChrisC]

Probably not in that case. I mean it's easier than other Paradox games. Look, if you can handle Civ games. Stellaris shouldn't pose a problem. For my part I enjoy it.

im good with EU4 and Hof Iron 3. Bascially - can you pretty much learn as you go along then restart when youve got the hang of it?

Well give it a whirl. It can be overwhelming at first. Once you get it though it can be very addictive. I guess the big difference between Stellaris and other space based 4X games is that to colonize or claim a system. A science ship must survey the solar system first before you can claim it. So you can't just blunder into another star system and colonize it straight away.

This. It’s a lot of fun, I’d say simpler than Civ
