It's good if you enjoy extraction games.

Pros
Play your way
Farm mobs/gear (Players may come for you learn to run)
PVP (Chase people for gear)
Squire merchant which always provides basic gear that you can customize.
Class diversity
Mobs are not too easy or hard (some balance is always need)
Patches are thoughtful and not knee jerk responses.
Market for buying/trading
Goblin Merchant lets you buy back lost gear from failed extractions.

Cons
Devs aren't afraid to test things. (This can sometimes break things or make balance awful)
People can be toxic
Combat is slower, and can take time to learn
You lose your gear, but that's every extraction based game
Some of the quest are too nuanced. If it's pvp it should be a pvp quest not kill random class in random dungeon.


I've been playing Dark and Darker since it first released on their website. The game has definitely had it's ups and downs. It had a bit of an identity crisis when they had an extraction game but also had a circle of death Battle Royal. They have removed the ring of death to focus on just the extraction element.
