What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Fantasy Grounds VTT is praised by experienced users for its powerful automation, comprehensive combat tracking, and ability to handle complex game mechanics so players can focus on roleplay rather than calculations. However, new users frequently criticize its steep learning curve, unintuitive and cluttered UI that prioritizes aesthetics over functionality, and difficulty with player onboarding and setup, with many feeling the software actively resists rather than assists them.

This is a very good VTT. In many aspects, I would say it's better than Foundry VTT. No headache about update and gargantuan amount of modules needed like Foundry.

Out of all the VTTs there are this one is the absolute worst. Nothing works properly, nothing is intuitive, every couple of months one of my players can't even log into the damn server and it makes everyone have to juggle ♥♥♥♥ around and fight and waste game time, and NOW the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing ate my entire campaign we've been playing for almost 2 years if I could downvote this ♥♥♥♥ more I would.

It's well made and well supported, but I can not begin to fathom why they used an AI generated image for the logo... They could have just used the one they already had... Or stolen a coat of arms from an extinct noble family... I think my family has a coat of arms sitting around somewhere, I would be more than happy to give it to them... You know... For free... It would be so awesome.

The power of this VTT far exceeds any other platform out there. So does the learning curve. There are plenty of YouTube instruction videos out there from the community, howver I would avoid the smiteworks videos as they are very rudimentary. The best advice I can give is to just play. Find a game thats accepting of newcomers to fantasy grounds and just interact with the software. Use the Fantasy Grounds discord. Ask questions and dont give up on it instantly like alot of people do out of frustration. It takes a while to learn how to use it and years to master it. 9At least it took me years and I still learn something new at an alarming rate.)

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
