I pirated it. It worked, I didn't run into any bugs like 1.0, and I had fun, on my steam deck no less. I didn't finish and I might go back to it at some point, but that doesn't say as much for the game as it does my attention span. I rarely finish games. I'd go as far as to recommend it now based on what I played.
I maintain that I'm glad they were able to fix it and market the improvements earnestly. They made good on their initially bad project, and that should be applauded.
Yes and it's also terrible. It goes without saying really
