Is this game worth checking out? Or does it need more time?

this is also what i came into the thread wanting to know

Article seems to think so, but I'm only hearing about it now myself.

I‘ve played 20 odd hours of the initial release version on my Deck and hadn’t hit its content cap. It ran smooth, I didn‘t encounter any bugs or crashes.

Gameplay-wise, it‘s more shallow in the farming aspect but cozier in its atmosphere compared to SDV. Personally, I had a lot of fun, probably the most in a farming sim after SDV. I loved the cast.

I‘ve read criticism that it‘s just a clone which even if true (IMO it‘s not), I don‘t think is a problem: I‘ve played so much SDV, I really needed a different flavor of farming sim (but without any extra BS) to get over the fatigue.

The initial release was already a good and competent game by its own merits, IMO. However, it’s not the second coming of farming sim Christ. This is just my 20 hours impression of the release version, it had two major updates since IIRC.

I agree with the other reply. But as a fair warning, I'm not someone who really got sucked into Stardew. That being said, I think Mistria is much better. The characters are all fantastic and fun, the magic system is nice, and I love the museum / collections like Animal Crossing.

I haven't played this update yet, but I've really enjoyed the time that I have sunk into the game.

More of the same. If you like that, then yes.
