The game overall in terms of content and enjoyability of the core features like combat resource managing/farming and building is really good.
I have not encountered any bugs yet.

The biggest downside for me are the skills and how theyre handled. You basically cannot play anything but a melee fighter because even tho there are skills they all only do one of 3 predefined things and you can only have two skills at a time, which is almost nothing. They all just work as a bonus buffer to your melee damage.

So if you want to play a mage or summoner/necromancer/caster it is technically in-game but not playable as you would think and want to. Now on top of that the game has a melee combat very similar to 'New World', which is a great combat design IMO, but Vrising Devs made the combat worse for whatever reason. They took everything from New World and then made the weapon cooldowns shared (??) so now you cannot weapon swap and do cool combos like in New World which is the whole point and fun of having a multiple weapon types combat design.

The game has everything it needs to be amazing , but its not there yet. If they allow players to sacrifice on weapons for more abilities or at the very least make the weapons abilities individual cooldowns to allow a more dynamic and agile combat, then the game would be a 10/10 in my book.

Graphics and Gameplay are fun, but:

The game has an incredible amount of bugs, because of which it cannot be recommended at the moment.
Every single match im stuck in some assets and cant get out. Same for the teammates.
Or im clipping through assets ultimately also making me stuck. Clipping through the floor, also making me stuck.
Interface not working. Mission objectives not working. Parts of the HUD missing.
Luckily i never had a crash, but i had countless times that teammates had crashes or freezes or disconnects.
The game feels completely broken.

The game has become infested with such an abnormal amount of cheaters its insufferable to play. Every single match or 8/10 matches you get aim gods that nevery miss a single bullet and laser you from almost half the map away while youre strafing through assets.

And the very few matches that you dont have 2 out of 4 teams full stacked with cheaters you have the sad losers playing grenade launcher and c4 and rpg only, because aiming is for the poor and if you cant aim just blow everything up.

The game was ironaically way better balanced and enjoyable in the betas than it is now.
People abusing controller emulators not getting banned is killing this game.

Installed again after a long time. Game wont start anymore. Even repairing game files wont work.

Same mentality as Warframe devs. If the content is not good just tell every player to ♥♥♥♥ off instead of listening to feedback. Overly entitled and non communicative. This game will drown or they will get lucky, same as warframe, and get a braindead hardcore fanatic fanbase, that they can serve any garbage they want.

GOTY

The game is very well done. If you played the first one you will enjoy this game exactly as much.
Gunplay 10/10
Sound Design/Feedback 10/10
Puzzles 10/10

Cons:
Its a bit lackluster in content if compared to the vanilla first part.
Almost no traits in total and most traits are pure trash.
Relic Runes are borderlines useless (+1.1% of whatever, even now having leveled them a ton i get 2.5% max on a single stat, useless)
A lot of mods should be individual and not forced to weapons. There were weapon mods that were individual in the first part and are now for whatever reason are forced on specific weapons which not always are a good fit.
Armor is still playstyle bound just now you dont even have set bonus effects.
Overall all builds are nerfed in comparison to what was possible in the first part, which is really disappointing.

This game has the absolute worst balancing ive ever seen. Its almost unplayable, and the aprts that are playable are pure suffering. The AI cheats so extremely hard its not enjoyable at all.

Campaign (normal/frog campaign) is basically unbeatable. You kill everything on the map, level up as much as possible as you checked every interactable object on the map and fought every fight against neutral AI and have the highest level units in your army all maxed out as much is possible in the given few turns.
Then the first faction AI comes after just 20 turns with his army that is already at maxed out capacity of super elite units that not beat but completely annihilate your army. Not even room to make a smart play as your entire army does 1% dmg on one unit, but all the AI units are so hard maxed out they oneshot everyone of your units.

Absolute joke, its like they never even played their own game. Skirmish is a little less worse but Ai blatantly cheats there too.

Sadly it cannot be recommended as of now. The tournament and therefore the main content of this DLC is not properly implemented and contains lots of bugs. Im not sure why others here say theres no problem with it. Maybe it depends on your region, maybe it works on Servers in China just fine.

What I have encountered:
The tournament does not work at all. You can access the NPC, in the respective village for the tournament, but any window opened, which includes the participation board is empty and has no interaction and at the same time is not closable! This means you need to force shut down the game every time you want to inspect a window from the tournament as its unclosable.
The Tournament therefore cannot be participated, it cannot start and therefore is basically non existent.

The only things you get from this DLC right now are the new NPCs ( I assume! as I havent met them yet )

Im sure this is recommendable by the time the DLC actually works.

EDIT: Developers are AFK, 0 communication, endless promises unfulfilled or just tossed in the corner and ignored same with unadressed and unfixed bugs. A glory example of a ♥♥♥♥ dev ditching as soon as the money got collected. Absolutely shameless.
