Okay so "very" may be a bit too forceful of a word. There are bugs, though they are fairly mild to medium at worst. The most common ones are pathing issues on base, the rare humanoid enemy getting stuck under ground, and some hitbox-related problems that are easily circumvented. The biggest issue which the devs are aware of is multiplayer save game corruption and they've released a guide on backing up saves as a temporary bandaid. In all, this is a rather impressive release and should improve rapidly. MUCH worse games with heavier budgets have been released in the last year alone.
I mean the dude literally said he hated ark because of bugs so very is putting it lightly imo. In my two hours I was trying to play my friend and I were constantly crashing, dying to glitched were probably responsible for, and eventually not being able to play anymore because we couldn’t spam past 'OnCreateSessionComplete Delegate bWasSuccessful == False'.
My friends and I started playing yesterday, we set up a dedicated server and played for 6 straight hours without a single crash from any of the 4 of us.
It is buggy, but in a Bethesda kind of way in my experience, it's not game breaking bugs, it's weird pathing, some jank animations, but overall it plays extremely well for early access. I was quite impressed as a fan and player of several early access survival/crafting games.
