To be honest I wouldn't play this on early access or beta beacuse in the first game the very very first time when I played it I read all the lore to each research I took my steps carefully drank in all the pop up text etc and while I was swimming in the world they created I completly enjoyed the gameplay beacuse when I throw something I know what it does and I know what are the aliens and I was fantasizing in myself that haha this is probably really painfull for them beacuse of this and that, and I was like a child who knows there is going to be a present on christmass went crazy geting a new alien even if its so op I had to get it to find out what it yields in a new research etc.
That ALL would be gone if i would just bite small parts of the game or they get changed or etc. I don't know about anyone else, but for me the lore the script the text the new events and change of battle styles was the real cream.
