It's okay at this point - Much Better than at Launch
Leviathan had many many issues at its inception that messed up EU4 extensively. However, many of those issues have been patched out at this point, making this a DLC to consider when on sale.

Leviathan had many many issues at its inception that messed up EU4 extensively. However, many of those issues have been patched out at this point, making this a DLC to consider when on sale.
I assume the numerous bugs and balance issues will be fixed eventually. But, besides that, Leviathan is an underwhelmming EU4 expansion, with a bunch of disarrayed little mechanics that feels awkward in simulation terms (monuments), not well implemented (new diplomatic actions related to favors) or plainly wrong (moving development between countries).
Regarding to content (southeast Asia and Australia, totemic religion...), it's a mixed bag. I don't like the impression that it all comes to be some "buffs" to make easier "painting the map".
It's overpriced, also.
Paradox has created a terrible reputation of not bug testing literally anything after every release and this is the grand culmination of that.
Complete mess of a launch, including (for the first time for me) not even being able to start a game. Crashes at start up.
'Wait a few weeks for patches to be playable' has never been more true. Do not get in this current state unfortunately.
—3 patches later and it's getting better, but man what an asbolutley unacceptable release
