SO I bought a game in Early Access, mostly because there's still a long while to wait for Conan Exiles, and I've been itching to play something a little different for a PVP game. I usually play M&B and Chiv for that fix, but wanted something a bit more worldly.
The good from what I've seen so far:
The combat system is similar to M&B, by that I mean you dictate strikes by moving your mouse up, left, right or back, in unison with clicks, to perform different types of swings. It's rough at present but with polish could work well in PVP.
Itemization seems rather deep, I also like the types of weapons and armors that are available. Combined with the atmosphere it all adds up to a decent medieval feel.
Leveling up is quite simple, yet fits it's purpose seemingly well. There's still more to come on that front so it's hard to have a full impression of what it will truly entail in the end.
MOB grinding thus far hasn't felt overly grindy, most fights have been rather short, Spawns seem rather fast so there's no issue with finding a good spot to run around in. Also watch out things will chase you down and attack before you even know they're onto you, especially in wooded areas.
The Bad:
I'll start by saying a lot of the issues stem from where the game is in development. SO there are plenty of bugs, desync, little variation in mobs, mob placement and npc placement seems rather sporadic filler, with no real AI governing them to perform in any realistic way.
In 2 hours of play I've had no crashes, but have had some serious bottlenecks in terms of performance. Which seem to stem mostly from the chat channels surprisingly. There also seems to be some serious optimization issues as well, lots of pop-in, hitching, and things of that nature. A fix today seemed to solve some of these things to some extent, but there's a lot of work left to be done.
Overall: it's not a bad game, I don't regret the purchase and will consider it a good thing to pick up now and then until it is further along in development, at which point I might get pretty serious about it..
Forgot to mention I haven't took part in any PVP yet, I am still getting a feel for the game, once I do I'll update this post with my feelings on that aspect of the game.

I self identify as a monkey.
The devs will get the bugs worked out, though the game that is there now will be quite a bit different from what the game will be at launch. Atleast according to the devs.
Side note, my friends on there and I have already had some 20 vs 10 fights and just the fact that you can use strategies to win fight twice your number makes this game a keeper for people that like to fight like jon snow!
