Solasta II

Pleasantly surprised. This was way more polished than the original Solasta release which I played through many times, over hundreds of hours, the official DLCs, numerous community homebrewed modules, mods, etc. Solasta 2's single-player is a very smooth play, no crashes (so far), lots of character options, better artwork, far better voice acting, and more interesting writing. I'm looking forward to multiplayer hopefully later this year, so I can play co-op with my kid. Also looking for the full D&D 5.5e experience. Potential buyers beware that the current game is missing most of the standard classes (Barb, Bard, Druid, Monk, Ranger, and Warlock) and species (Aasimar, Dragonborn, Gnome, Goliath, Orc, and Tiefling), which I understand they did to put out a product and start making money. But they need to IMHO "finish the game" quickly before the momentum is lost.

Visually it is a good game but they make it extremely hard to follow quest lines. Quest lines show up in your journal and you can "track" them but they don't show up on the map. They give you very little clues so you are aimlessly wandering around on some of them. Map movement is grid based, moving block by block, in an effort to enhance the questing experience. They've also sectioned a few zones off by blocking you with a river and only allowing entry via a bridge. While I think they were going for something intuitive it comes off a little clunky. Standard map is obscured with a fog until you have chartered through the section. The game has randomly been crashing on me as well with no rhyme or reason. I could be going into a new zone and it just drops out or it has done it when I was initially launching it. I am sure they will iron out those bugs and that doesn't bother me but still something to be aware of. The map itself also seems small but I am assuming because we are in early access some things are still being worked on or they will be rolling out DLC for the game. I really wish Steam offered a "Neutral" rating on games. While I will thumbs up it, I would say hold off on buying it until they roll out a patch or two.

Liking it so far.

Игра пушка. Пока игра идет по пути наследника NWN 1-2. Она уже по механике боя и прокачке превосходит позорную BG3

excelente o jogo, ainda com alguns bugzinho(nada que estrague a game play, só a dos chatos) achei melhor que o baldurs gate 3(a gameplay, a historia ainda não tirei as conclusões). Mas quem gostou de baldurs vai gostar muito desse jogo.

战斗好玩，没玩过dnd桌游也能玩明白。演出十分有电影感，我甚至觉得演出效果比BG3还要好。商人买卖界面也蛮有趣 (?) 缺点是自由探索度太太太低了，可以说几乎没什么探索要素和可交互的事物，绝大部分建筑人物都是摆设，很失望。而且目前来看呈现的剧情流程比较线性，也没什么让人印象深刻的角色 求你们多在探索和剧情叙事上下功夫吧，不然真的很容易感到无聊 (´;ω;`)

very nice upgrade over original Solasta game. turn based combat feels a lot like BG3. Dialog isn't close to BG3, but what is? It's better dialog than the original game. Some of the cutscenes are well done too. overall, feels like you're playing a real AD&D game. looking forward to next installements
