Gameplay

I still prefer Bright Nights, but this is a tremendous improvement over CDDA in my opinion, it is still slower and more of a grind to CBN but it makes up for that for having many of the cooler aspects of CDDA and CBN mixed in like alot of the older features making a return.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The Last Generation (TLG) is a mod of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (DDA), a game with a famously steep learning curve and an absurd number of keybinds.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.

In the short time I've been following the game I've seen the surprise expansion of fungal monsters, adjustments to long standing systems for the better, and many many bug fixes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
Though in some cases the graphics do a decent job of portraying danger.
