Stellaris is a game that’s won over many players since its launch, with PC Gamer’s Editor-in-Chief Phil Savage giving it a solid 70% in his review back in 2016. He praised its early gameplay, hinting at its potential to become a classic. With each update and expansion, the game has evolved tremendously; in fact, as noted by recent reviews, the game now feels almost unrecognizable from its original version. Game director Stephen Muray even humorously referred to it as “the Spaceship of Theseus.”
This anniversary also marks the launch of the new expansion, Nomads. While some feedback suggests it could use a bit more polish, the new features like Mongolian throat singing and nomadic factions have certainly added a unique twist to the gameplay.
So, whether you’re a seasoned player or a curious newbie, this weekend is the perfect time to jump into the universe of Stellaris and see what all the buzz is about!
