I really love the concept of this, the alt history elements, and the gameplay. I know that paradox games take a while to get good at, but due to my current obsession with ck3 I havent put as much time into this one. Looking forward to mastering it at a later point.

This game is so much fun while allowing for tons of freedom, some awesome historical aspects and references as well as unbelievable amounts of replay value. As the game progresses further it becomes a bit more of a slow playing and repetitive game, but the fact that you can end it and start anew whenever you want allows for you to constantly play how you want to. Cant wait for more dlc and updates.

Fun game, and definitely has tons of classic paradox aspects. The futuristic aspect is very interesting and fun to explore. The stars, various techs, races, events all make for fun semi realistic aspects of future possibilities. One quarrel I had was the process of war. Destroying entire colonies or planets can take unbelievably long, especially in the early stages of the game. Warfare can be tiring as the AI will constantly do what it can to evade you and just run around your ships. Has a lot of potential, but the warfare gameplay as well as the various instances of enemies meant for late game appearing unbeatable in the early game make it a bit less enjoyable than other paradox games. Will likely revisit at some point.
Originally had this at 4.5 but after putting more time into the game (and still barely scratching the surface), its overtaken ck3 as my favorite paradox game to this point (until victoria 3 drops). The level of control you have over your country is great, with so many different things to be changed and messed with. Colonization adds a whole new aspect of management, and the different scenarios and country mission trees make for tons of replay-ability and a good template to follow on early runs.

A great game, tons of early flaws but they will be fixed over time and this game will end up being a lot better

basically same as the first game, except the new free to play, pay a ton for everything else system stinks.
