Is Pharaoh good now?

I'm a long time total war fan but dropped off after TW Warhammer 3, I didn't really enjoy it and I didn't like the direction CA was moving in.

When Pharaoh came out, I was very disappointed that a new historical title in one of my favourite periods of history was so mediocre. Now that the CA has had the time to fix things and have backtracked their initial stance of Pharaoh, is it good? The steam reviews are still mixed.

Update: Thanks for all the feedback! I decided to get it and I'll give it a go this weekend. Thanks everyone!
