With all the controversy around the game, I pretty much ignored anything to do with it at launch. Since the game is on sale right now I wanted to know, is it actually any good? If it is I’d like to play it.
It depends on how high your expectations are and how valuable ~$45 is to you.
I found it really fun for the first few hours, then it got really boring. It sucks you in for the first few hours (cough, the 2 hour Steam refund window, cough) then doesn’t just drop off in excitement and quality, it crashes into a wall.
Wait til this goes on sale for $20 or less in the future.
It’s not the steam return window doing that. The devs are drip feeding you mechanics and every mechanic seems interesting when first introduced. You can’t really assess them until you start using them. So every game can feel fresh for a couple hours before you realize the tedium.

That’s what I’m saying, just in less words
