I've played through the game a couple times since it was released, after the major updates, and each time it was basically less fun because of various balance changes (even with added QoL/lategame stuff). I was looking forward to the stuff they would add/change as they worked their way through their roadmap, but it looks like they'd rather start work on Forager 2 and call this one complete?

I'm hoping that it's just poor communication, but if this is the final version of the game, then I would say it's only worth it if you really like grinding broken up by a handful of puzzles
