its...honestly not good. sure,it looks pretty and has awesome customizable stuff,but you're going to spend your time listening to vaguely different music tracts while constantly in debt and selling your minerals/food to the market so you dont go bankrupt (oh,and by the way,the more you sell,the less you get,so have fun getting less and less money). the different species templetes (reptillian,humanoid,avian,ect) are nice but most of them aside from the humanoid ones have little to no settings (color palette 1,2,3,4. clothing 1,2,3,4. background 1-18.),and you cant even build half the stuff you research because you either dont have enough population on a planet,you dont have the materials,or you dont have the right combonation of government and ethics and whatnot. imean...sure,you MIGHT like it if you're really obsessive with ordering everybody and everything randing from planets and starts to a worker named Todd building yet anothwr battleship you set to autocomplete because the ship building section is utterly hideous and doesnt tell you anything about the stat changes. but unless you really love micromanaging,i reccomend not getting this.

side note: the fact that most of the classic "space empire galaxy story saga deluxe" cliche stuff (robot lands,one mind people,plant people,giant wonders,ect) are locked behind paywalls and dlc is kinda a messed up thing to do,even for Paradox...especially because they tease you with the "plantoid" section of naming lists if you dont own that species dlc.
