As a new player, I am really not liking the change and regret updating my game lol. I do agree berries were too strong early game, but they've been nerfed way too hard. I started a new world and 90% of the berry bushes I find are struggling and have no berries. I'm not yet finding fish reliably enough for it to be a stable food source and have found zero mushrooms so I'm having trouble doing anything but forage for food now, which takes a lot of the fun out for me. A degree of struggle is fine, but now there's heavier reliance on good spawn RNG and I hate having to reroll worlds.
I also think, again, while the old berry bushes needed a visual update, I don't like the update as is. It's very hard to tell when there are berries on the bush and they're just kind of ugly? But that's a very minor complaint.
