Stellaris Critic Reviews and Review Scores
IGN
Rowan Kaiser
6.3 / 10.0
Stellaris is filled with good ideas, and it's not difficult to see the outline of a great space strategy game where those ideas could come together. But beyond the early game, it's only compelling in bits and pieces – it turns into a largely uneventful slog after that. Paradox has developed a reputation of major upgrades to their games for years after launch, and Stellaris is going to need all that love and more to reach its potential.
PC Gamer
Phil Savage
70 / 100
The early game promises an instant strategy classic, but Stellaris is unable to maintain that pace.

Stellaris is the Paradox grand strategy game you need to play.

Ben Reeves
8.3 / 10.0
A series of small tasks makes Stellaris easy to jump into, but hard to put down without completing that "one last thing"
GameSpot
Daniel Starkey
7 / 10
Stellaris gives you the stars as your playground, proving that Paradox capably translates some of their strategy game prowess into space.
