This game is worth buying as long as you're aware of the multiplayer issues.

At the time of writing I've played the majority of this game with my partner who is on a different computer in the same house. The connection is very stable, with no other games demonstrating problems. I'm assuming the game is remotely hosted (no LAN), based on the problems being encountered, but if not then there's really no excuse.

Fundamentally the multiplayer works, but suffers from numerous problems. It's laggy, up to a one second response time for input in some cases. Almost unpredictably the game will pause, process for a bit, then reload the level as if a day transition had occurred. Neither of these problems are as bad as the third though.

The third problem is the desynchronisation between players. You could be playing a different game and not know it, as there's no way to know if you're out of sync. I've played for an entire in-game day not knowing that the game on my screen was different to the game on my partner's screen. Very frustrating.

If you want this for multiplayer, don't buy it yet. For singleplayer it's fine.
