First, lets get the obvious out of the way: Yes, there was a rough patch of several months where the was no updates - This was due to RL problems for the Dev. This came right after the Snowcat update that unfortunately left the game in a buggy state. Both prior to and after improvements resumed, the game reached a much more stable state. So, should you get the game? Do you like The Thing? Being Isolated in a snowy hellscape with up to 3 friends(?) with proximity chat? Not knowing if the person you're looking at is imposter or not? Knowing you might be infected and what you choose to do with your remaining time? If any of this sounds appealing; It's a hard yes. My friends and I have had some crazy fun, awful, disastrous (Especially if I decided to fly a helicopter) expeditions that ended in failure more often than success - primarily due to our shared resolve of pushing ourselves too far. Every game we played, win or lose, it's always been a blast.

This game was so fun with my friends. Too bad that my friends have the patience of a freaking walnut and they said it was "too hard" and "uneventful". They all returned the game so I did too. If you have good friends with an IQ higher than that of a dolphin, then buy this game.

It's fun, it's like being in the movie The Thing, it's rough around the edges but the Dev puts a lot of time and effort on the updates and you can tell it has a lot of heart
