Welcome aboard
It's really a matter of personal taste if SH5 is good or not, my own opinion is that it is beautiful, and the vanilla version is flawed as is SH3 & 4, but once again the modders are making it even more beautiful and very playable. The DRM only now (iirc) requires connection when you start the game and to save online (I think offline saving is available).
The cost it is now it's cheap enough to try...
