Finally, besides another four exceptional tracks to what is perhaps one of the best 4X OSTs ever made, there is also another story-focused quest-line to flesh out the lore of Stellaris, which is something that has yet to engage me as much as others.

There are also two new Precursor Races, the Baol and the Zroni. The main component to Ancient Relics is the addition of archaeological systems as well as Relics and Relic Planets that provide statistical benefits or massive resources for trading. History is Hopefully Built on the Succession of Good Ideasīefore we discuss any problems with the business model or the DLC itself, it would be helpful to illustrate what new additions are added to the game. For everyone else, you’ll have to come to your own conclusion on the matter.

So in no uncertain terms: Is this DLC worth getting at some point or when put together in a bundle? Absolutely, and if you’re a fanatic for archaeology or developing the research portion of Stellaris, then you might find this addition more favorable than other players. You might assume this jaded perspective is because Ancient Relics disappointed me, but the reality is the DLC lived up to my expectations for Paradox Interactive games. Chances are, if you play Stellaris as religiously as the xenophilic empires, you already shelled out for the DLC since you wanted something new, or you’re someone like myself who always waits to get these additions at steep discounts since you know there are always going to be a dozen more in the future.

The simple answer is that there isn’t really much to say about the Ancient Relics Story Pack to convince anyone who isn’t already a die-hard Stellaris fan to get this new addition. If you are familiar with my reviews, then you might mistake this one as a press-release.
