I have spent nearly a thousand of hours with the game and I could spend 10 times more and would still enjoy it. One of the best Paradox Grand Strategy titles in my opinions. Ignore those complaining about the amount of DLCs or they cost. Yes, there are plenty and all together they do cost a fair amount buy you can buy just some and when on sale. Keep in mind that the game came out nearly 10 years ago and Paradox has been adding features to it all those years. It's not like they cut out the DLCs just before game release to release them for the next 10 years. If you don't like the DLCs, don't buy them, you will still get the game as it came out 10 years ago with lots of extra free features since.
