with all of these patches since its release, I would go from just not recommending it at all to buy it on a pretty deep sale.

in spite of that, I still think it's worth playing. Not, however, before we touch on probably the most important part because while I do enjoy this experience overall, it absolutely has to be mentioned that this game is buggy.

I'm mostly just interested... at the very least, it seems like it will be a pretty faithful representation of that particular gameplay loop that made the Gothic series popular.

I enjoyed my time with the game and I will be continuing to play it. It's right up my alley. I enjoy these sort of wonky jank titles.

I am cautiously optimistic and my first impressions are positive for right now. As somebody that's a big fan of Piranhabytes games, we'll have to see what it looks like once the game finishes up its development.
