Sometimes, but some games get consistently better during early access.

The key is to buy games based on their current state (is this worth $xx to me right now?) vs buying what you imagine the game might be.

But I don't know what their state is until after I buy them. That's the point.

Generally watching some real videos of people playing it can give me enough of an idea.
