Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Super content rich but in terms of roleplay a little bland, but worth it purely for the gameplay of blobbing (Expanding as fast and as far as possible).
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every situation in this game is truly different and you will basically never have a campaign that ever feels same-y.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Vanilla single-player is fine but it gets boring by the 1600s but thankfully there's a lot of mods/overhauls out there, multiplayer is pretty much dead but there's still a decent amount of communities/groups hosting lobbies, just keep in mind that there are a lot of try-hards that make the game really unfun so proceed with caution.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The AI's competency doesn't scale with difficulty, they just get more bonuses, a la Civ.
