To be honest, I was very hesitant to give this game a try after seeing how bad it was when it first came out. Now after hitting level 10 and doing some of the NPC quest, crafting, and the main story line, I can recommend this game at its current state. A lot of the problems I saw people complaining about on release, I do not see anymore. The game is fun and the community is even better. nothing but new player and experienced veterans just wanting to help out. my first hour playing, a level 70 came up asked how i was doing and gave me food, water and ammo. And after that happening, I know I want to do the same when I am a higher level. Most of these negative reviews probably did not give the game a fighting chance after all these updates. The game is better and is definitely worth giving a shot.
