Internet is only 12mb here and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was getting only .09 - .17mb of speed.
Turns out it was Steam auto downloading the beta.

There was no big motivation to progress other than to level skills, which wasn't enough for me.
It works smoothly on console though, which can be a challenge for these types of games.
