Still one of the best games around. There are so many options on how you want to play the game. If you want to just build a colony and not be attacked, you can have game set your game to passive, if you want to see how fast the game will end you, there are setting for that.

If you get into using mods they really change the game, from simple quality of life improvements to total overhaul of some functions of the game (research tree, how your people act)
