What players say
Players say the early access version is buggy and unoptimized, with crashes, stuck markers and broken car exit prompts. The grind is heavy: you shoot endless deer to unlock gear, and the progression feels slow. Some praise the maps and herd management, but most recommend waiting, especially if you own the first game.
