What players say
Honestly, it kind of went in a direction I don't care much for during Early Access, still has performance problems, even on a good rig, if you actually end up filling out your shop, and failed to expand in a meaningful way on some essential parts of the game. I won't lie, there IS some fun to be had (primarily if you install mods, though mods tend to bring the poor performance down to terrible if you install enough...

The game has legs, but since the 1.0 update, the game has so much lag and stuttering it is hard to enjoy. They introduced the option to play the TCG (which is cool), but I feel like that over performance is a terrible decision.
Turns out the cure for spending too much money on trading cards is spending too much time pretending to sell them. Seriously addictive gameplay, and I get all the fun of opening packs without destroying my bank account IRL. It's definitely a bit of a grind, but it's the perfect game to switch your brain off, relax and watch the hours disappear. My main complaint is the performance, it should run much better than it...
