This game still broken?
I've seen several reviews in the past saying the game is full of bugs, this still true?

Kinda Yup. And to me, it was a great deal of both frustration and mad fun. It may vary from computer to computer, but on mine for almost all of the bugs I was able to either figure out how to avoid them, or how to exploit them for more fun. You can check my posts here for some extended info on the game's internals and skills/curses/features/etc. At that time, a few people responded as well, and it seemed the bugs were "stable" in the sense that they behaved the same way for them.

I wouldn't necessaily call the game "broken". I'd say it's just in a curious state of "not fully polished or finished". It's definitely playable, definitely lovable or hateable. I think I have 100+hrs in it now, plus at least a half on top of that analyzing the thing and collecting data...

So while it's definitely playable, it's also definitely exploitable to the point of breaking the game (literally) or OP'ing yourself so much some crazy thigns happen (like, DL timer rollover, bullets collision stopping working due to too many events happening, etc).

There's a chance that you get a rare bug prrventing you from starting it up. Happened to few ppl from what I read, and AFAIK noone was able to trace why it happens. I think there were some problems with multiple monitors, specific controllers...

Oh, Twitch intergration is definitely totally broken, because the API changed or API keys expired, something like that.. Or at least, it was, half a year ago.

Oh. And I got my copy on GoG on some really nice sale. GoG and Steam are actually a bit different versions, but I don't know of any noticeable differences gameplay-wise. GOG's achievements are a bit screwed up, IIRC it is not possible to 100% them, since some entries are just botched by the game's code. IDK how that looks like on Steam version.

Are devs done with this game, or are there patches coming to fix those issues?
The dev is working on a new game and the last patch was a couple years ago.

But honestly, as quetzalcoatl mentioned, the game is totally playable - and it's good.

This isn't a game you play just once so, finding out the bugs and crazy builds end up making part of the experience - most of the times it's a funny and nice kind of jank.
it completely bricked my system 3 times in 10 minutes. Avoid it.
