How hard is the game ?
Hello, I always interested on buying stellaris but I fear is too difficult to me since I read the review from back then the game is not beginner friendly.

is this true ? or the game is more better at explaining things now ?

For the most part it is normal for Paradox games to learn something new with every session you start for your first couple of hundred hours but that shouldn't discourage you.

I'd suggest watching a tutorial playthrough like the how to play Stellaris 3.2 one from Aspec and simply play along with it for your fist 2-3 sessions and that should get you started.
All the other details are not that important and you'll learn them gradually over time by just playing.

I’m 20 hours in I started with the full tutorial option and it’s been great and quick to learn so far. The more I get to know the more interesting the game becomes.

What would be difficult about it?
Cadet mode is pretty easy, and if you just want to learn, just turn off all Ais.

It's possibly the friendliest towards beginner's from Paradox.

There are no tutorial scenarios or massive texts, you just learn by playing and receiving tips.
Also, there's plenty of YT content out there explaining several mechanics if you want to dive deeper on how things work, just be warned that this game mutates more than the HIV virus so any content or tip you see from over 1 year ago, at any point in the future, will probably no longer be relevant.

Just be aware that atm (as it is normal after every large DLC release) there are quite a few bugs in the game that will likely get fixed in the next 1-2 weeks.

The problem with that question is that everyone that plays Stellaris is either:
A - Diehard fan that has played the game since 1.0 or;
B - Bought it on accident

But I think it's fun
