I have been obsessively playing this game for two weeks now, and my god is it amazing.
I've never been much of a fan of strategy games, grand or otherwise, and most of my friends know this. I've turned down more than a few requests to purchase a Civilisation title in the past. So, to have a game such as Stellaris recommended to me by a friend was unusual, especially given the fact that I'd never heard of this particular title, even in passing.
Thus, I watched some gameplay on Youtube, and at the next Steam sale, bought a copy.
It is frakking amazing. The depth to which your civilisation can be built is amazing. Fleet battles are fully simulated with hits and misses happening as the physics engine permits. The sight of a massive battlefleet flying over a strange new world, each ship arranged into formation is incredible, even on my puny Mac.
Even if you aren't a fan of Grand Strategy (or strategy for that matter), I highly recommend you get a copy of Stellaris. It's a bit pricy when it's not on sale, but sales are pretty frequent on Steam, and Stellaris pops up in the selection of midweek discounts more often than you'd think.
