They released a big update (lot's of bug fixes and a few new features)
and the General Discussions section on Steam has been somewhat active
with a lot of reports of this is now unplayable. On a positive note, a
dev. has created a pinned thread to say please report all you problems
with tickets so we can get a hotfix released as soon as possible.

I'm much more forgiving of problems with that with smaller publishers.
Not only don't they have the same resources to adequately test their
patches, but they often are under a lot more financial pressure to
release. Companies like Activision - or Blizzard or Raven or King
Digital or Infinity Ward - have enough savings that a week or month
(or year!) long delay won't sink the company. That's not true of many
smaller developers, funded directly by their owners, where a small
delay might literally cost them their house.

So while I'd happily review-bomb Electronic Arts - or Respawn or
PopCap or Maxis - for pushing out a buggy game or patch on day-one,
I'd be much more patient with a smaller developer. Especially if it is obvious they are working on the problem.
TL;DR: the patch released yesterday, the game's getting review-bombed
on Steam, and I think it's unfair. ;-)
