Solasta II

Still in development Solasta 2 carries on the fantastic tradition of turn based strategy. While there is no crafting available at this moment or multi player there is still plenty to sink your teeth into. One piece of advise plan well player and know your limit's or you may forfeit your character's lives.

At least for me, the game really took off after about the first 2 or 3 hours once my party started travelling the world map and hit some harder encounters. People who gave the game a negative review after playing for like an hour or two are just clowns if you ask me. :) It's very playable as far as an EA title goes, but I did encounter a few minor bugs and there are some features (like hiding from a rogue's Cunning Action) that aren't ready yet, so that was a little disappointing for the time being. Although the adoption angle is a bit awkward, many aspects of the story are reasonably interesting and the voice acting is really good. The dialogue does get a bit long-winded at a couple of points, but it does set up what comes next. The combat and environments are really good, as expected from the team that made Solasta 1. There are also some new wrinkles to combat that I certainly enjoyed, even beyond the new 5e 2024 features. It's a fun 10 hours or so, and definitely recommended for Solasta 1 fans and most kinds of D&D RPG fans. If you're looking for a smoother experience, more features, and at least some more improvements to the characters' graphics, you're probably better off waiting a bit though. If you're on the fence, watch some playthrough videos to see if the general style and combat appeal to you.
