Game is definitely fun, replay value remains to be seen as there isn't much variety in gameplay.
Workaround:
1. Find a person who is already playing this game
2. Add him/her on steam
3. Go to his/her profile on Steam
4. Click on Join Game option from the profile
The game starts without any server issues. There are plenty of nice folks on reddit who posted their steam id and immediately accepting friend requests.
I bought the game yesterday and did that. Discord community was fantastic as well. Mic is not mandatory but really useful to have. Specially if you want to split the group to finish side quests in parallel.

If you're looking to join random games with random players, you may not have the most pleasant time although the game is still playable... you just have to wait longer because you have to connect to matchmaking servers.
It's like Deep Rock Galactic with way better graphics, progression depth, and mass objectives. I'm honestly surprised it's not from the same devs. Though TBH Arrowhead has also put out some gems before so it checks out.
Also, the server issues may be real, but rare. I been playing consistently for 2 weeks from 5 to 10pm and the only issue is Crossplay and occasional drops. But the great thing is you can join back with your group and still get the XP, so it is not a loss or feel like a lost cause. Game is literally 9/10 for co-op.
The gameplay loop is a little bit redundant but it is a live service game so should be growing over time. What they do have is a blast though, haven't laughed this much at a game in a while and it's filling the Overwatch shaped hole in my friends group's hearts.

That said, the servers are overloaded. If you're trying to connect during peak hours you could be waiting 10-60 minutes. There have been several symptoms of the same issue (black screen, different error messages on the loading screen, etc) but after patches you just get to the loading screen with a servers at capacity message. They are working hard to increase server capacity. Can't handle the queue? Just wait until they increase the server capacity or play off-peak. The game plays remarkably well for the 1st week, I've had very few problems once in.
