When I read all the recent negative reviews and felt the same as them, how the balance changes were a step backwards, how they butchered how fun the block system was. I thought how on earth are they still at 90% positive.

I mean I was a HARDCORE fan of the game before this update and now I can't even get myself to play it after 1 day of playing a new character this update.

So I looked at the reviews... pages upon pages of reviews with hidden profiles and this is what their positive reviews were.

"Lots of fun. Thanks for reading my review."
"sex"
"That [] [] [] copy pasta for graphics, gameplay, performance, ect"
"good game???? yees. good gaem."
"BUY NOW DON'T ASK"

sigh..

I mean other than the food changes which I think are garbage and should have never made it to a live update (I question if they even tested them they are so bad imo) I think this patch is still a lot of fun. So I would still give it a positive review.

"(I question if they even tested them they are so bad imo)"
Personal opinion after playing both with a new and one midgame character (pre swamp boss):
The new food and stamina system works fine. You still chug food like a madman and you are fine for the most part. At best you may need a tasty mead if you get into trouble but so far, even fighting 2 trolls and a small horde plus shaman at once, I had no issues with my midgame character.

And I primarily use my bow (only using shield and sword for Trolls cause parrying is more powerful)

I should also mention that I am using Muck Shake, Boar Jerky and Sausages as food for combat and exploration. It works fairly well, so well that I could probably switch to more stamina instead.
