Depends on how much you like reading event dialogue.
The fun in Stellaris, at least for me, came from the bajillions of sci-fi references and events. The downside is that a lot of those come from DLC. The base is good by itself though, and you can always “acquire” the add-ons through other means.
I really loved that about CK3 actually - really liked the stories it built with them. Really changed my idea of what emergent gameplay should be like. Maybe I’ll see if there’s a good bundle on sale right now too and get some of the DLCs at the same time.
Incidentally Stellaris is 70% off - I assume it’s deep into it’s development cycle by now, is it worth getting into for a recovering CK2 addict?
