Decision is yours, but let me share my opinion.
If I knew beforehand my experience will be like it is - I would never buy this game.
Game's popularity was over-hyped, now it looks abandoned, I'm not sure it will ever be finished.
Game is raw and unbalanced. When they say in the description it is "brutal" - they say truth, it is most unforgiving game I ever played. Too easy to die, too many accidents can happen, gear is too hard and time-consuming to get and upgrade, and even if you manage - this is not guarantees your survival in next area. When you die - you respawn naked and have to get your stuff back, somehow, from your corpse surrounded by those who killed you. How? Go figure. First two areas (Meadows and Black Forest) it can be done without much stress, but after that it may be too hard or even impossible. You also may fail to get new set of gear because resources are finite. You also lose skills on death, and leveling skills may take days or even weeks to get back.
Price of errors is too high. Dont listen to "manly men vikings chads" who mock others for failing, they have no life and can afford play all day long for months, but some of us cannot.
