I've played a few hundred hours on the GOG version, but Steam updates faster so I've bought it here as well.

As a rogueLIKE, it's a very challenging game without any meta progression - the progression is through your knowledge as a player that reflects in your skill at preparing for and navigating the challenges that the game faces you with. Things like knowing which meds to stock up on, how many, and how to maneuver such that engagements are taken in your favour, all come in handy. Oh also, that fighting a bear right after you started out is a bad idea.

The most recent update at time of writing has overhauled the entire game, nearly top-to-bottom. A new general map layout, new items, new dungeon gen, new bosses/minibosses, new contracts, new main story flow, new crafting and cooking systems, and heavily rebalanced EVERYTHING. Most games would sell something of this magnitude as DLC, as this is basically a fully fledged expansion that touches every single aspect of the game.

If you're NOT okay with challenging games that require some reading, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If you're down to trade blows with a game that feels fair in its presented challenge as long as you respect it (reading tooltips, talking with NPCs, trying new things, etc), you'll have a hell of a good time.
