The verdict
A charming, nostalgic arcade sim with a big island and survival mode, but the 1.0 build is buggy and poorly optimized. Skip it if you want polish; the legacy branch is better.
Great for
Arcade and coin-pusher nostalgia fans who tolerate jank and can play the legacy branch
Main risk
1.0 build has game-breaking bugs, soft-locks, falling through the map and lost saves
