Solasta II

The engine is pretty good, although sometimes navigation is clunky. Nice familiar 5E ruleset, although class options are limited. Unlike Solasta I, the city doesn't feel deserted -- there are many, many people. However, it's just a shell -- you can't actually interact with any of them. There's a story, but it's told through excruciatingly long cutscenes and dialog which has no real choices -- you just have to click through it all. I want to like it, but ughhhhhhhhhhhh.

while the game is fun and yes i know it's still in early access, i feel it should have a bit more hours of gameplay, i've played 9 hours and i'm basically done. i wish the updates to content would be a little quicker than almost towards the end of the year for act 2. feels rushed and pushed out for a money grab. leaves a bad taste

I'm having fun. Last update made play better. Not a huge fan of the character creator, but looks like it will get better. Looking forward to other improvements as the game moves through early access

Love RPG's and I do not need much, simply let me create a basic male warrior tav, give me a quest where I need to visit a dungeon or two, put a necromancer with few skeletons/zombies against me , legendary two handed sword as a reward and maybe a companion i can romance. Nah, you are being stopped at step 1. There are only female models in this game, you want to create a male character, good luck , they made being a transgender mandatory.

-Character customization seems to be one of the game's stronger points. -While the controls for moving around the world are presented as intuitive, they felt more like a way to explore a pretty environment than a meaningful gameplay feature. -I really didn't like that near the end of the tutorial, choosing not to join the covenant resulted in all of my characters dying and the game ending. To me, that suggests the story may be more railroaded than I would prefer. -Overall, I wasn't expecting something on the level of Baldur's Gate 3, but I was still hoping for more flexibility in both the gameplay and the choices available to the player like a lot of more modern crpgs have been doing. -If you're a D&D fan who mainly wants a tactical combat experience, I would still recommend giving it a try. However, based on what I experienced in the tutorial, it just wasn't the type of game I was looking for.

This is going on the shelf till its out of early access. It's just too clunky and missing too much content. It took me four separate attempts just to get through the intro because it throttle my GPU like crazy even on the lowest settings and everything turned off. And it doesn't save after you make your party, it saves after the cutscene. Lots of graphical issues in general, things loading weird, popping in and out, losing layers. And it's disheartening picking up supplies for crafting and having it say that entire mechanic is unavailable. Why bother? Don't let me loot a bush if it's just low value resources. And selling/inventory management in general is a little annoying. Just needs another 6 months of polish and content that doesn't exist currently.

Unless you're running the latest and greatest PC with the best video card, you cannot leave the starter city. The game will crash and you will be SOL. I'm running the "recommended" loadout and I cannot leave the city, which is really sad because I loved the first game and spent hundreds of hours in it. No big. Clearly the devs are willing to take the money of the people who will buy it even though half of them can't run it. Want DnD gameplay? Play BG3. Let WotC and Solasta rot.

After a couple hours into the game I can't seem to get through a fight without crashing
