I really cannot recommend this game, which is a shame because I really want to.

Some core gameplay elements are there but the flaws are impossible to overlook.
Cash shop is being prioritized when the game is barely functional.
Inventory is a mess and near impossible to navigate.
Crafting is still not out because the coding for "blessings" is dependent on the weapon file.
No mission select.
AI director is overactive. Very commonly spawning daemonhosts/hounds on-top of people or a room they were just in.
NPCs shoot through walls almost constantly and have minimal reaction time.
Half the listed weapon stats are flat out wrong when one looks at the code.
Countless graphical bugs such as polygon stretching and seizure inducing z fighting.
Current gameplay loop is getting online every hour to look at potential weapon base ratings in the armory store, then closing the game.
Grinding for materials requires you to sniff around the map like a mole looking for diamantite and plasteel.
There is no point doing scriptures or grimoires outside of weekly coins.
Weekly coins are worthless because melk almost always offers trash.
Penances (achievements) actively promote gameplay that sabotages other people.
Then there's the fact that the game can outright brick your windows install and mess with your graphics drivers, eg:
0xc00007b and oxc000021a errors caused by this game because of their insistence on forcing raytracing
Raytracing can only be turned off by going into the appdata roaming folder for fatshark and making the config read only.
The game might however refuse to let you boot and instead force a fake crashify prompt.
Constant disconnects in missions related to their laughably tiny desync window of only 2 seconds.

Has there been any feedback from devs to signal that any of these things are being fixed?
No. All that's been shown instead is how new cosmetics and maps are being made instead of core issues being prioritized.
The game is barely playable, don't get it. At best it will be an annoying grind, at worst it will brick your computer.

Core gameplay loop still isn't fun, a lot of the things in this review have been fixed, however there is still nothing similar to chaos wastes. Gameplay loop is still very unfun.
