Stellaris, all day every day. I’m not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven’t played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and… it’s suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.
And now I play it every day. And when I’m not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I’m actually thinking on HOW I’m going to attack them. A game hasn’t hooked me this bad in a long while.
You know what’s the worst part of Stellaris? Every time you think that you know all the content and that it’s getting boring, the devs just crank out a new DLC that significantly alters how the game plays.

So, it gets another couple of play-throughs.
Unfortunately, I’m well aware of this approach. They did the same shit with Cities Skylines.
Definitely has that civ vibe… just… one… more… turn!
