Being primarily a console gamer I’m still getting my head around buying a potentially unfinished product with no real guarantee it’ll be made better, but then I’m sure those cynical few amongst you will point out that current generation console games are usually rushed with day one patches fair point, but usually at least all of the features are in place…
I’d recently returned to modern PC gaming after my ancient rig (which had been on borrowed time for a while) finally gave up on me, thus providing an excuse to spend money that I don’t have – praise be for overdrafts, am I right?!Īfter doing a little reading around whilst waiting for delivery it became apparent that this had been in beta for a while and, like many recent ‘KickStarter’ funded games on the PC, seems to be one that is released in a ‘mostly finished state’ but with more developments added as time goes on.
