Solasta II

Where to begin.... I finished my first playthrough of the current version...If I substract my faffing around with different builds etc before deciding on what to play and then restarting etc I'd say I got around 10-ish hours for my Playthrough until I got the dreaded "This is the end of EA" message. First off: A lot has improved since Solasta 1. The Models look way better. Sure the facial animations especially are a little bit stiff sometimes, but this ain't a 400 man team with millions to throw around. This is a comparable small team compared to giants like BG3. And the emotions during Dialogue are readable, while you can recognize that certain other chars are way more guarded with their expressions. So I'd say good job on that front so far. Combat feels good already, if sometimes a bit on the tougher side. But you can really notice a difference between a well laid ambush and you just stumbling into the next group. Playing carefully pays off, and a bunch of the encounters were laid out in a way where you could use natural cover etc to pick off enemies, while most of the others couldn't reach you, giving a huge advantage to those who didn't blinbly storm into every group of enemies. Also there are the occasional chances to solve things non-violently, even sometimes with more unusual enemy types. Kudos for that. I don't want to say to much about the main story, other than that it intrigued me. It feels the EA ends with you just finishing the Prologue or shortly after...I hope that turns out true, and TA doesn't rush the end again like in the first game. If they stay on the current trajectory, I am excited. The Lore bits I discovered were interesting. Interesting enough that I occasionally save scummed because I wanted to succeed on that history check to get more lore. The Voice Acting....I mean come on....it has top notch talent...Amelia Tyler alone could probably carry half the game :P But the other roles are delivering a good job, too. The Presentation overall is well made. I found the views enjoyable, occasionally outright beautiful, though there were some inconsistent lightning problems in some scenes, and going from brighter to darker places like entering the tavern sometimes fails to adjust the light levels so you can actually see something...zooming further in helped with that, though, but I shouldn't have to zoom in just so the place looks bright enough to see the room. The Item Highlighting also was a bit finicky occasionally with chest getting un-highlighted without me letting go of the key etc. Overall I'm really excited to see what they have in store, and please don't rush the endgame....Give Amelia room to breath :P (Allright, I'll stop fanboying over her now ;P)

Love it. Just wish I could keep playing

Jogo ainda muito bem incompleto, mas tem potencial, gráficos bonitos e bem otimizado para um lançamento.

Excellent evolution to the Solasta Original game. Most noticeable are the improved graphics, diversity of creatable characters, ease of gameplay and an impressive update to the 5e ruleset. It is important to confirm that your graphics - either built in or external can supportd Direct X Ultimate.

After playing for about 4 Hours, I can tell, that for an early EA everything works very well. I like the new gfx, but face animations still need some work. The big pro is the well done DnD adaptation. The big Con is the story, it‘s okay but not that Kind of a Story that makes you wanna play and Play and play, because you want to See, what will happen next. Overall it looks and feels like Solasta with better GFX and Same Pros and Cons. /E: After playing more, I can tell, that the story will get better, I ike it. Don´t expect an epic story like BG3, don´t expect that every NPC is written well and got his/her own great story, but overall it seems okay - good.

Awesome story, graphics, and gameplay. Character modes a WIP but will get better. Looking forward to more content and character level development.

I occasionally have some frame rate and stuttering issues but overall it runs very smoothly on my setup. I chalk it up to it being in Early Access. The story is actually interesting and the ability to customize your entire party is a lovely bonus. I would love to see more subclass options later in development as well as being able to equip companions that are not the main party. In the end though I have no actual complaints about anything.
