Low level Wizards' strength is supposed to be crowd control with spells like Sleep and Color Spray.
5e Sleep drops 4 goblins for 10 rounds. In this EA version Sleep drops one HP buffed goblin for 1 round. While Fire Bolt can deal 8 damage on a miss. Balance is really off, probably it will improve.
The low level Wizard's role is to step up when the party is starting to get overwhelmed and save the day with well placed CC or battlefield control like Fog Cloud, spiking in performance at the cost of spell slots. Not so much damage dealing.
