It is, at its core, an exploration and infrastructure building game. A lot of the gameplay is "take X to Y" and the infrastructure you build helps you do it and determines how hard your task is gonna be. Combat is not plentiful, but it is there as an extra obstacle to overcome. If you dont find this core mechanic engaging enough, it probably isnt a game you would enjoy.
