I've been playing the early access build that's just released on Steam and it's not great, and it confuses me, because the original game from 2019 managed to do the almost impossible: it broke into a busy RPG market and made a success of itself, despite being janky and having some problematic New World colonisation themes. Perhaps there'll be a rewarding story here in the end - there's only a small portion in the early access build - and perhaps it will tackle the thorny issues the setting flirts with, but at the moment it's cringingly stereotyped and forgettable. Couple that with a general sense of un-optimisation in the game - texture pop-ins in dialogue, a procession of bugs, and what feels like a far from finished user interface - and it makes for an experience you are better holding off on to see if Spiders can put right.
