Depends on the type of game you like to play. I love these games that do foraging, farming, fighting, building & exploring. Plus I like that others can easily play with you, like my sister. Starting now should give you a good feel for it before the update. I played tons but have backed off until the update. It is challenging though. With the help of my sister we were able to get the bosses & help each other in our worlds. There are a few things I would like to see improved such as better tutorial through out the game, and a bit of a smoother transition to each biome. There is a big change in how hard it is to survive at first in each new area. Even with that said I have put many hours into the game & can't wait for the update. It is one that I will play for a long time. Switching my charter to new worlds and exploring them.
