Re: Stellaris - me too, and I bet a lot of other people as well. It has what my friend group calls “the Civilization problem”; the initial setup and expansion is by far more interesting than the late game when things are more static. Stellaris does it better than the Civ games, in my opinion (mid and late game crises and events help), but still falls into the same trap. I’m not really sure how this could be solved, but maybe something like late-game expansion opportunities (like the L cluster, but more) and more robust internal politics and espionage could help.
Glad to know it’s not just me. Civ and Stellaris both, game progression for me goes like: fun, fun, fun, yeah screw that guy!, fun … getting less fun, definitely not as fun anymore, meh.
I just picked up Cult of the Lamb which is at least silly fun. Bonus points for blasphemy!
Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.
Stellaris - I’ve spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.
