Not "worth" $5, but the game is a lot of fun, and playing on Game Pass, it's a nice way to support the devs. The game has gotten better since it was exclusively on PC, the Spark Limit Break upgrade + doing a run in the right zone with the right setup lets you make money in-line with your pgoression from start to finish. It WAS a sloggy grindfest for endgame, but with the Xbox release update it stays fun from start to finish. It'd only go back to feeling bad to play eventually if the exponential wealth gains get nerfed/taken out. The only reason to be weary about playing it is gone now, it never stops being fun, so, support the devs and play it!
