It’s on sale right now but I heard their latest update screwed some things up with the game. Has it been fixed and is it a good idea to buy it now?

Edit: Thank you all for the responses. For now, I think I’ll wait on buying it.

    The controls make the game so much harder with a controller. This is one of those games where it’s much easier to play with keyboard and mouse.

    From what I was able to find, Gearbox is fixing it/has fixed it? Depending on the price, I’d probably buy it and sit on it if it doesn’t work yet. The game has always been a little janky, but it’s crazy fun.

      That’s what I’ve been seeing online as well but I couldn’t find a concrete answer for it. It’s only $8, so it shouldn’t be too much of a waste if it doesn’t work right away.

        That’s about what I paid for it I think. Got way more than $8 enjoyment out of it for sure! Here’s hoping it works again!

    I have put hundreds of hours into RoR2 on PC, love the game. I recently purchased a Switch copy so I could play with a friend of mine who is console-only. Sadly, the port is still in a pretty bad place when I checked last (2-3 weeks ago).

    I am not expecting the PC and console experience to be identical by any stretch, but I am talking about basic issues like the music on each stage cutting out after playing for only 10-15 seconds, wonky damage (Beetle Queens absolutely massacring us even on Rainstorm if we touched their projectile splash zones), and all the other miscellaneous issues from the patch like logbook being glitches, unlocks being unpredictable, etc.

    I think it could potentially be fixed, but I would give them time to put out a few more bugfix patches before I considered a console purchase
