It's pretty good. Like a lot of games, however, the AI is quite... Weird. A single empire once took over an entire continent by building city after city without purchasing any land or waiting for cultural border expansion. Since the only way to win that particular game was world conquest, I just quit there. Also because they owned the world's only source of uranium...

Yes.

It's amazing fun. I remember one friend called it "Sid Meier's 'where did 12 hours go?'" because it's that loving addicting.

tl;dr:

More civilizations
New religion gameplay mechanic that allows you to literally mix and match traits of all sorts of ideologies
New spies gameplay mechanic
Improved AI + performance (WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN IN loving PATCHEEEEEEEEEEES)

With the money saved you should probably also buy the other Civilization DLCs. Don't buy map DLCs, they're absolutely and utterly useless, but additional Civilizations are good to buy especially for their 75% off tag.

If someone buys me the Game of the Year edition, I will happily gift them Frozen Synapse in return.

Anyone?
