I was thinking about getting it but I seem to remember hearing that it got censored in some way. What exactly did they change? What all is wrong with it?

Most of the in game censorship was just a few outfits being changed and a few lines being altered. I think Nell's was the worst with a longer skirt and sleeves added. While not great its probably also not world ending if your barometer for "ruined" is higher.
The marketing however was a complete clusterfuck, with them outright delaying it just because Ukraine happened and trying to gut any mention of war or combat from any marketing blurb.
But I've heard the gameplay itself is purely upgraded. The AI can no longer as blatantly cheat, so FoW maps aren't literally unfair, and many of the "need a guide to figure out" moments were made more direct.
IMO this is enough to put a game firmly in the territory of don't play or at least don't pay. Too much ground has already been ceded.
I don't disagree, but relatively its quite minor compared to what we normally discuss if we are being honest.
Like, Nell's is one of two I could find information on. And the other was just a dress color swap. And I couldn't even find the lines themselves to compare other than stuff like "Kanbei talks like an Imperial Japanese instead of a Samurai." Which doesn't set off any "woke" bells to me.
So again, if that's enough for you there it is. It was enough for me after the Ukraine thing.
