Stellaris is a fan-favorite sci-fi grand strategy game from Paradox Interactive, where you can explore new worlds, encounter new beings, and face the challenges of intergalactic colonization, diplomacy, warfare, perils, and crises.

Now, its newest expansion The Machine Age, as well as the New Player Edition pack are available on GOG!

Stellaris: The Machine Age presents a new age of galactic adventure. As your scientists discover ever more advanced means to commune with the machine, your society will face new ethical and social dilemmas. Biological species grapple with the effects of rapid augmentation, while the very nature of identity is thrown into question by the rise of synthetic consciousness. Meanwhile, in an otherwise unremarkable corner of the galaxy, a robotic empire has arisen with individualistic personalities. A democratically elected government now presides over the fate of these singular Machines.

Get ready for new endgame crisis, new player crisis path, individualistic machines, new cybernetic and synthetic reactive portraits, new situations and advanced authority swap, 3 new origins, and more!

When it comes to Stellaris: New Player Edition, it’s a package specifically designed to help you navigate your first hyperlanes as you venture into unknown planetary systems of this vast game.

It contains: the base game, Stellaris: Utopia DLC, Stellaris: Galactic Paragons DLC.

It’s time for you to achieve your dreams of galactic conquest!

Probably the best dlc yet for Stellaris.

Not exactly an expert on Stellaris, but aren't Galactic Paragons the one Stellaris DLC that should be avoided at all costs.

Yet again Paradox prove their mastery of Trailer Art. (this time in-game footage)

Should it? Why?

schmoemi: Should it? Why?
Apparently there are some people who believe with the irrational certainty of the clueless that one turned Stellaris into a character-driven system like in for example Old World. As someone who plays and enjoys both games, the only reply I could give to that are any number of Picard facepalms.
The new council and agendas are a minor but nice (and are certainly helpful in some situations because you can work against some RNG with techs when you want to move into a specific directions). You can certainly decide to make it a more major part of your empire but it's never something like Old World.

Galactic Paragons probably also suffered a bit from being released too early. They wanted to make it for Stellaris' birthday but it needed quite a bit of Custodian love before it really felt like it worked.

Too bad if you already own Stellaris on GOG. No discount for you. And it's still 60 euros.
You don't even save anything if you own Utopia and Stellaris on Steam.
Paradox gonna Paradox I guess.

Only if you like Gestalts, iirc, because they get absolutely nothing from Paragons. Apparently Paragons was pretty well received, though I don't have it myself.
Astral Rifts or whatever was the one that got poorly received, and I can see why. Very gimmicky, and it was after that update that the game started to really suffer some performance issues.

When civilization collapses. They'll offer to trade you a drive with everything on it (including the last half-finished dlc which you get to complete yourself) for a spare generator.

I'd say it's quite good if you're into the RPG-side of Stellaris as you can now choose leader traits when they level up instead of getting a random one. It also has a very interesting origin that puts heavy emphasis on your empire's ruler.
