It is is better than Civilization 6 in some aspects, namely randomness and still need work in some aspect like territory management, Civics unlocking. A hard to grasp for new 4X players.
Overall quality good, though unity engine requires too much processing power.
Performance-wise lacks the fluidity of CIV 6, even CIV 5 in some cases.
Combat system and Event Decisions are new and fun but after sometime these feels a bit repetitive.
I would surely spend some money for this game in my collection.
