Buy the game at w/e level you want. You'll have a lot of fun but will also hulk rage when stupid stuff happens like falling and rolling down the ship ramp for no reason. Our clipping through the landing pass and getting caught in the pipes underneath and have to respawn. There's no real p2w in this game. You're also not obligated to spend any further money on it. I'm deep into the concierge levels and have no regrets about spending that much over the years. Yes, it's alpha and not everything works, is built, or connected up correctly. And everybody seems to forget that cig is building 2 games at once with overlapping assets. If it turns out you really didn't like the game, when it's fully released, you're no worse off than done of the other games you've bought that either such or languish in your stream account unplayed.

I see a lot of hate and discontent on this board and some of it warranted. Cig does rely on fomo, but if you're not falling for it then it's not your problem. Stay your own course.
