I‘ve played 20 odd hours of the initial release version on my Deck and hadn’t hit its content cap. It ran smooth, I didn‘t encounter any bugs or crashes.
Gameplay-wise, it‘s more shallow in the farming aspect but cozier in its atmosphere compared to SDV. Personally, I had a lot of fun, probably the most in a farming sim after SDV. I loved the cast.
I‘ve read criticism that it‘s just a clone which even if true (which I don‘t it is), I don‘t think is a problem: I‘ve played so much SDV, I really needed a different flavor of farming sim to get over the fatigue, but without any extra BS.
It‘s a good and competent game by its own merits, IMO. But it’s not the second coming of farming sim Christ. This is just my 20 hours impression.
I agree with the other reply. But as a fair warning, I’m not someone who really got sucked into Stardew. That being said, I think Mistria is much better. The characters are all fantastic and fun, the magic system is nice, and I love the museum / collections like Animal Crossing.
I haven’t played this update yet, but I’ve really enjoyed the time that I have sunk into the game.

Is this game worth checking out? Or does it need more time?

More of the same. If you like that, then yes.

Article seems to think so, but I’m only hearing about it now myself.
