With the release of the 2.00 patch the game is a lot better, though I'm one of the people that thought the game was decent to begin with. I know the item chains aren't going to be for everyone, but I appreciate that they're trying to do something different from the typical 4X "collect resource get reward" system.

Even with the updates the game isn't a 10 by any stretch, but I'd say it's a very solid 8. It's also a LOT better than Civ 7 right now, but that's an unfortunately low bar to cross.
