The general consensus I think is that the release was horrible, and the game is... alright, not great, not horrible. The first DLC, Voices of the People, has HORRIBLE reviews with only 26% positive on Steam tho, people are upset that instead of inproving the game itself, they added flavor for a single country instead. The popular theory is that they did this so they could give all the people who preordered the first couple DLCs crappy DLC just to fulfill that promise, and have the actual important DLC later so they have to pay for it.
