Found this to be a good interview with the developer.

Chances are it's going to release full of bugs and be missing half the content they market to us.

Don't believe anything these companies say, judge the game by how it releases, assume the typical modern day AAA bullshit until proven otherwise.

Or preferably: don't care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don't build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

That's what I do, but not until "it releases", but "it's on sale, asking not more than 15€ for a patched product with DLC". Usually at least a year.
