Core Exiles is a lot of fun. I have been playing for 5 months. Basically, it is a slow developing game. You build up your galactic empire by collecting various resources through a myriad of techniques, then use those resources to build various items that advance your empire.
You can develop your ship to fight or mine or salvage or transport or a combination. You can build your own ports on planets, construct corporations and develop mining barges. You can craft your own items or buy and sell them on an open market. There is no winning, per se. It is an open ended sandbox. The goal, I suppose is to continue to grow your empire as a galactic captain.
The game is mostly free. I mean you can play and progress without spending a dime (or whatever is your local cheap currency). But you can accelerate your growth via in-game purchase. And why not? I mean, someone went through years of effort to develop this game. If you are like me and have been playing it for months, why not give the owner a little compensation?
That said, the developer is basically Santa. He has contests and give aways frequently. In just 5 months, I have won/earned several items that could only be gotten otherwise via real money. If you're the kind of person who wants everything given to them for free right away, then maybe this isn't the game for you. But if you like a challenge, if you are looking for a pass time that doesn't hit a wall and keeps on challenging you day after day, month after month and (no joke) year after year, then Core Exiles is worth getting in to.
