IMO it was worth buying on launch. It's nowhere near the disaster people make it out to be. It's just a step back from CS1 with all its DLC and mods, but it will get there quickly once the asset editor is released. Bugs? Performance? Mostly fixed, quickly, although the land value still isn't perfect and they need to do something about children living alone with 5 dogs. But those aren't exactly game breaking. The art style is leaps and bounds better than CS1 and the roads are a dream comparatively. Personally, I've had a wonderful time with the game since day one.

Some minor rendering issues, but perfectly usable.
Have you tried 3.0? Genuine question because I haven't and the UI looked a lot better than earlier versions. But if it's still janky...
