Yeah I usually wait for sales/reviews/patches etc to play the better version of the game, especially for AAA releases. It depends on the type of game as well for early access, I had a lot of fun playing Hades and Dead Cells before the full release and I’ll be buying Hades II as soon as they let me (I played the technical test and it’s going to be great). I think those being roguelites helps as opposed to something like a long RPG; I wouldn’t want to replay a 200 hour jrpg to see the changes they added in act 2 but with roguelites that’s just how you play the game already.
