I wouldn't label things they changed compared to 5e rules as necessarily broken, unless the way they say it's implemented doesn't actually match what's happening.
I picked half elf as race initially because I was used to the +2 +1 +1 spread they get, which isn't the case in the game, or hypnotic pattern, which only lasts 2 turns instead of 10. Is the game broken? No, it's just me assuming stuff will be 1 to 1 to the 5e rules. And it goes both ways, took me a bit to realize they don't follow the spellcasting rules to a t, and you can cast leveled spells with both your action and your bonus action.
The key words were in ways that don’t make sense. If you read my whole comment, you'll see we agree that not all the departures are inappropriate.
