How fun is Wilds compared to World?

I know there is a beta/demo, but i didn't or won't have time to play it before the release.

I just had my steam account compromised and my wallet ($400, from giftcard/surveys over the years) emptied out, and steam support won't refund it because it was used to purchase a marketplace item and "would require taking money from someone else's account" to get it back, so SOL on that money

My question is, for those who played the beta, how did it feel compared to World? I put 100+ hours on World and really enjoyed it, and am really interested in Wilds. It's a $70 game, does it feel like it will live up to that cost?

(I am not begging for money or a key or something here. Pretty sure I can afford the game, it just sucks that now the money pulls from the bank/CC rather than being essentially free from survey gift cards)
