I'd wait this one out, folks. Too many players and not enough servers.

Are you the one joking? Issues logging in are well documented. I wasn't able to play all weekend because of the server capacity issues, managed to get in the other night by retrying for 15 minutes. As you noted they dropped an update today which adds an AFK timer which should help this problem significantly.

Game is definitely fun, replay value remains to be seen as there isn't much variety in gameplay.

So, you pay for it, redeem it, install it and then launch it. It will, very likely, immediately throw an error at launch about "Server at capacity". You can't even proceed to training part.

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.

I bought it through Steam, but refunded it after an hour. It's ok. The environment is gorgeous. I'm not crazy about the key codes for drops. The game feels a little clunky to me. It's definitely fun.

Theres much better games if you haven't played these yet, but want a similar more polished experience: Warhammer Darktide, Remnant 1 + 2.
Darktide??? That game is horrible!!

Bought this game about a week ago. It is a fun game but without 4 friends your going to run into some of the issues I've been facing.I can see this game getting fun once you level up to 50 and some of the toxic players have gotten bored and stopped playing. The only question is if I'm going to quit playing before they do. Here are some of my complaints:
  • Toxicity: Playing with randoms you will get team killed on purpose and they wont re-spawn you. I've finished a mission and the team kicked me before we ex-filled. People quit mid mission, they call airstrikes on the team or keep dying to waste re-spawns.
  • Repetitive Missions: I'm still only level 13 out of 50 and it seems we're stuck doing the same repetitive missions over and over. There are a lot of escort or wave fighting missions.
  • Difficulty: Jumping from Medium to Challenging difficulty is a huge difference if you don't have a full squad of 4 players you can trust. The higher level you play, the faster you can unlock items because you earn more.
Toxicity exist in any game that allows you to play online with other people its unavoidable. In an ideal world people would play nice and work together but unfortunately there will always be some individuals that like to troll people and ruin their experience. Friendly fire is part of the charm of this game you need to careful when deploying your stratagems or risk killing many of your teammates. If struggling to communicate with team I highly suggest using a mic or the chat box at least. There are many players on discord and reddit that are for the most true team players. I've put about 50hours into the game and its one of my favorite PvE games in years.

Is Green Man Gaming legit? I have used CDKeys in the past to purchase software and was unable to update after a few months because I was told it was a bad license.

Green Man Gaming is far more legit then CD keys and many other digital stores besides Steam.

This game has been great and I enjoy it. It's way more fun with friends than solo with randoms. But it's also not for everyone. I know a few people that have tried it and didn't enjoy it and stopped, but I know many more that watched people play it on stream and if the streamer was having fun they felt it was worth the buy. I've convinced a couple people to buy it, and when they've played with me they've had a great time. So it's 100% a YMMV.
