Is this game worth buying yet? Feedback on game wanted please.

[Let Me Die]

I liked the demo but the release price converted to far too high for me to afford. This sale has made the game almost affordable, but the developers clearly don't support Steam users (e.g. absent from FAQ for 5 months now), the game appears to be extremely glitchy from reading the discussions as well as seeming unfinished, & last time I dropped by the forums the developers had basically said not to play the game because it would corrupt your save files.. So I'm wondering whether there are any pros to this game currently other than it's a pleasant way to spend some time if it doesn't break? (Because I can do that with the demo.)
I'm not willing to join Discord, I'd prefer to own my own speech even if I have nothing to say.

Is there any constructive feedback out there please?

It definitely depends on what you prefer and are expecting in the game. If you just want to play around with Dinos, collect some different colors/patterns for dinos, do some basic farming or interact with basic NPCs then this game is decent. If you want to play a more in depth story, form in depth relationships with the NPCs and do a nice variety of quests I would say right now no. As much as I love the concept of the game and waited patiently for years I will say right now the game lacks QoL, Polish and for some people content.

The main point game is the dinosaurs really, it has a decent amount of different dino species and A LOT of colors variations for collectors but content wise it'll feel very lacking relatively quickly. Dinos are tamed and turned into helpers in relatively the same simple ways, with the lack of regions you can play in their abilities can quickly become bland and/or useless and you are heavily limited on how many you can have (though imo this isn't exactly a huge negative).

Now the biggest reason I wont recommend the game is solely because of QoL and Polish. There are A LOT of times where the gameplay felt clunky and unrefined. Your player has no stats that really improve compared to the dinos, movement can bug out frequently, terrain has some very awkward invisible cut off points, targeting can be a royal pain, etc etc. They have been improving on small aspects like that but it may ultimately be a good while before it feels better. It definitely wouldn't hurt to try now but I would wait a few more months or for any potential content updates before getting hopes up.

@MSilverS: Thanks very much, this is exactly what I needed to know. [Exclamation mark]
I'm regional, so the discount in this sale still makes it an expensive buy. I bought a farming sim/magic game for considerably less that even when released was "better" quality - looking strictly at quality & not "ooh dinosaurs" :lol: - than this, & has had massive content added in the few months since release.
From what I see in this demo, & the way discussions here have gone, it looked like this was still some way from really feeling "finished", & I had issues with the semi-3D visuals (movement) making me dizzy from the start. I really had to work at it to get comfortable with moving, especially as it is keyboard operated (mostly) rather than mouse. (If you don't have a controller, & I always broke the joysticks from being too rough, so I'm guessing I'd do it to a controller, too...)
