The game's stability is severely lacking, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and freezing issues that render it nearly unplayable. Players frequently encounter problems during character creation and experience significant lag, leading to frustration and the need for constant restarts. Despite some optimism for future improvements, the current state of the game is disappointing and not recommended for purchase.
“Super buggy and non-playable.”
“Most players could barely get past the character creation screen, so just a heads up before you buy this: as of now, the game is very buggy and unplayable to me.”
“At first, I was skeptical; I didn't know if these reviews were true or not, but now I know they are really true. Don't buy the game in its current state; I cannot pass the character creation. It's a shame for a game of this scale that has been waited for 4 years to be released in this buggy state and unplayable. I'm heartbroken.”
