From the moment I understood the weakness of my steel, it disgusted me. I craved the chaos and growth of flesh, I aspired to the disordered unity of organics. Your kind magnetize to your steel, as if it will not rust and fail you. One day the crude alloys that you call a laboratory will breakdown, and you will beg my kind to repair you. But I, am already repaired. For the flesh is immortal. Even in shutdown mode I serve the Bio-messiah.

The multiplayer feels like there is a starving victorian child in the engine room of a coal-powered train who is so weak and pathetic that upon contracting any form of sickness or encountering the slightest of unpleasantries will instantly perish, causing a desync.

the dlc??? great!!! amazing!!!! one of the best they made yet for any of there games the update???? a lag fast with constant crashes, good news: the endgame is no longer slower then the early game bad news: its not for a good reason wait till they update it, or ure game might crash befor even seeing the endgame with save corrupted

I was gifted this and still feel scammed

I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship, they keep breaking the game and I keep coming back.

Requires the big, rushed, unstable, badly balanced, half-finished 4.0 patch to play. BioGenesis does have potential to become one of the best stellaris DLC in a couple of months, but I can't recommend this mess. Stellaris will probably be my last paradox interactive game.

Biogenesis is one of the best dlc's stellaris has had in a while. However, the state of the current 4.0 update that came alongside it is kind of a mess. Give it a few weeks before buying.

Do not buy this POS DLC. Dont give paradox the idea that breaking the gamr forcing players to beta test for them is okay. They promised big on perfomance and failed spectacularly on EVERY SINGLE PROMISE. I was a fool to give them my money, but you are smarter than me.

This update was mainly supposed to improve performance but i guess John Stellaris is not ready yet and game running at lease 4-5 times worse than it was. True Paradox moment.

The content looks wonderful. But it, as is customary, presented as a buggy mess. Prime example, which ought to be enough: The a.i. doesn´t build fleets, likely because it doesn´t try to produce alloys. Such obvious bugs should never be shipped with a release and Paradox needs to change it´s Quality Control.

Buggy disaster. PLEASE change your ways Paradox. I have 1,000s of hours in this game and realllllly want to support you but you can't keep releasing utterly broken content like this.

Absolutely love all of the content in the DLC! Everything added is insanely cool and fun and adds so much more variety and life to the game. Well on the level of Machine Age, another fantastic DLC. For the amount of content added the price is MORE than worth it, especially if bought via the season pass. The 4.0 base update released alongside the DLC does have some bugs and issues as is to be expected, which should be kept in mind - but it does not affect the quality of the DLC content itself. MEAT SHIPS MEAT SHIPS!

I liked Stellaris. Game has been broken ever since this DLC come out. Game doesn't run faster despite promise that the big refactor will make it run faster. Wake me up when game not broken and I can play with friends without massive desyncs. "Why Won't You Let Me Play My Game" - A parody of F*ck Bitcoin (Eurobeat Remix) I heard Stellaris has a new DLC It has wilderness and it seems pretty sweet I can't play it, do you know why?

F*ck Desyncs, F*ck IPOs, F*ck Pop Refactor Ruining it all I just bought Biogenesis on my PC But I had to turn the Lobby Size down to garbage quality (1) I can't even see friends' planets blow up properly These desyncs force me to be "sleep time responsible" All I want is to play Stellaris too But I can't play it because of you F*ck Desyncs, F*ck IPOs, F*ck Pop Refactor Ruining it all F*ck Desyncs, F*ck IPOs, F*ck Pop Refactor Ruining it all Why won't you let me play my game?

love & hate relationships be like: every time the game is getting stable, paradox redo everything just because they feel like it. But here I am still indulging myself with all of their contents because I'm already hooked. Help

There are bugs IN MY BUGS First time the game randomly crashed on me before. Also, many parts of the game still don't seem to be updated to 4.0

You see a youtube video where "youtuber name" makes a Behemoth while playing as Wilderness. Wow, thats so cool, i want to do that too! First day patch - Wilderness empires can no longer become the Behemoth, they are perfect the way they are. ... Why are you like this?

Wilderness is so incredibly fun, instantly became my favorite origin. The patch and DLC have a couple of issues, especially the UI but nothing gamebreaking, just a great expansion with a great patch overall. Edit: Got to the endgame and man performance is BAD, even when playing with Gigastructural and dozens of mods the game didn't chug this much, But i am personally used to Paradox games being super laggy and at least i have experienced zero crashes, Still having a blast. Personally i'd say that the DLC is very much worth the price as it seems most of the issues are related to the 4.0 patch itself, not the DLC, and the content of the DLC is very good.

I took a loan out from the bank to get this DLC

Stellaris is like an abusive relationship. I knew they knowingly sold an unfinished product. I knew Paradox paid our beloved streamers under NDA to hype up the product. I refunded this DLC but to buy it back a few days later. I knew it will still be plagued with bugs. I also knew my cats will need to skip a few dinners to pay for this DLC. I'm not mad at Paradox or the Dev, I'm just disappointed in myself. Down vote so others will not follow my path and can get help.

What on earth is going on... Games cannot be released in this state. Missing tooltips, bugs, clunky interface. I've played A LOT of stellaris, but this has made the game awkward. If they needed more time, they should have taken it. We are in an age where you can't give the customer such unpolished releases and not expect serious concerns.

DLC amazing, the 4.0 patch also amazing (in my experience) havn't crashed, havn't had issues. restarted twice till i actually understood how to play wilderness properly. Actually amazing Origin and now my personal favourite when you actually understand how to play them. cant contest to the desync issues people are complaining about but that would be a game review not the DLC. Would recommend from my experience so far, regarding the UI the only issue i have is with the decision menu i wish it was on the first main tab and i am eagily awating my small sidebar mod to be updated :)

If your're reading these reviews and saying "wow, this DLC must suck!" please be aware- most if not all of these negative reviews are mentioning things only related to the large game patch that came out alongside the DLC. The DLC itself is very good. The patch sucked and broke the game. Most people aren't smart enough to differentiate the two.

good

Re-posting Calozard's post because it is 100% on point and its utter garbage that their post doesn't count towards overall reviews because of how they "received the game" Post from Calozard "Stellaris is one of the game I have played the most. I love it. I also love seeing more organic content being introduced. What I do not like, on the other hand, is pushing "play" a few days after an update and, playing 5 different game for about 80 years, trying out new features and older features, only to find out that they are ALL broken beyond comprehension. Have the developpers tried playing with space fauna ? If so the guy reporting bugs and terrible UI should be fired, or maybe they should fire the guy who decided to push the update nonetheless thinking the plebeians could be milked without consideration ? But let's be honest, I don't think they even pay someone to play a crash test game as far as 10 years ingame. Have the developpers tried playing with the new origin, wilderness ? Amazing concept. Worse experience of my entire time playing stellaris. That moment where your homewolrd get uncolonized because you used too much biomass at once, after struggling with buggy jobs allocation and poor UI choices, for 70 in game years, is not an experience you forget. Have the developpers tried... no joking they clearly haven't. And if they did, they deserve at least a terrible rating for this dlc for having the audacity to sell people a dlc after releasing an update that literally break that game we, customers, paid hundred of bucks for. Shame." Paradox. You have literal game breaking mechanics that are making the game unplayable and we are over a month into this expansion. You can't even play the flagship origin properly. FIX YOUR GAME!!!
