Yeah, it was terrible. The initial open beta showed promise, but the team was stubborn and refused to listen to the overwhelming community opinions on art style and some other gameplay issues. Then they pushed out a campaign that, at least upon the initial release, was the singular most boring gameplay experience I've ever had, along with being horribly unpolished. I've heard it has gotten better since then, but I've had no motivation to install it even though I technically already paid for it. The multiplayer also might have improved, but they lost so much momentum and community goodwill by releasing a turd prematurely, so effectively the game is dead.
You know the strange thing, I get the impression I would be less disappointed right now if I had been up-to-date, if I had the community to console me. As it is I had this vague hopeful expectation simmering on a back burner and I just lifted the pot lid to find it kinda stinks... I really ought to know better by now than to get my hopes up, I really ought...

At least they adjusted the campaign cost but it was way too late: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2012510/view/534357988855513483
