If there were an option to leave a mixed review, I would have done that.
However, I'd say the cons outmatch the pros.

Legacy version was fun and then it got messed up in its last update and it was just left like that. So, if you feel like spending the majority of your playtime in darkness, go for it. The sound in Legacy is broken - no ambient, water noise can be completely muffled and the overall game balance is left untouched. Despite the listed issues, I had no major performance impacts. In fact, the game runs just fine. Combat options are limited compared to Evrima, but there is a lot of dinosaurs to play.
Evrima is a different story because it's a side version of the game. My major complaint is the performance. I have no idea what the last few updates did, but Evrima lags a lot. I've ran a lot of very demanding games, but I can't get Evrima to run normally even on a low graphic preset - and I used to run it on high settings. There's only a few dinosaurs you can choose to play and they suffer from some imbalances. Sometimes there might be some server issues, but I didn't encounter so many of them, restarts are usually announced. Dinosaur models and sounds are fantastic, but the attacks and hitboxes are a little buggy. The update progress in Evrima is really slow and it feels like a lot of people are disappointed since The Isle has been in Early Access for so long. Even though the updates are not very frequent, they follow the roadmap and specific goals have been achieved. Personally, I love the diet system. Visually, Evrima is very detailed and stunning and I hope it only gets improved.

Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review. I'd like to note that the listed system requirements are for Legacy, so if you want to play Evrima you better be ready to run a much more demanding version of The Isle.
