Stellaris or this?

[glamour]

Im not that good good at 4x Grand Strat, but is this game harder than Stellaris in every aspect?

Need some pros thought

[Outis]

Stellaris is a complex, story-creating, open world sandbox game and Real-Time.

GC4S is almost like a board-game with how the mechanics interact and how the game plays. It is Turn-based.

In my opinion, I would say GC4S would be more approachable.

[BATTLEMODE]

They're both pretty different: this is an easier game to learn I think, but it has more of a challenge than Stellaris, which as Outis said is more of a RPG/sandbox game and is weaker on the 4X side of things.

[Consoomer]

Personal opinion: I got bored out of my mind in Stellaris, as well as annoyed by having to constantly hit pause. GC4 is a zenlike intellectual experience in comparison. Also its AI is better by orders of magnitude.
