    Only at about the mid-game (or beginning of at least) and I am enjoying the game so far. edit/TLDR after beating the campaign: Game definitely has no replayability. It's not like Civ or Stellaris where there's multiple win cons; it's just a single all or nothing tech tree with the same final goal. Pick up on a good sale and don't expect to get more than a handful of runs out of it. Game's got good bones but no meat.…

    Another paradox game that was pushed out unfinished and left to die when they figured out they couldn't sell 400 dlc for it. Last early access I'll buy from them, avoid
