The very first dungeon perfectly encapsulated the dev's inability to balance the experience. It's a multi-hour long slog that feels like it's scripted to make you fail so that the game can railroad you into a trope where the game world proves to you that you're a nobody and you have to work to become powerful and mighty, it's a pretty common plot device in RPGs. But no, they genuinely just expect you to be able to essentially do the equivalent of killing the Commander and the Cambions on the Nautiloid on Honour difficulty in BG3. The enemy AI will perfectly avoid all traps, meanwhile, if your tinkerer summons a decoy and happens to also have a trap active, your AI controlled decoy will walk into it 95% of the time. Creating a class that counters itself seems like a poor design choice to me. If you're lucky, you may get a city encounter that will reward you with a side-quest so that you can hope you may be able to complete that first to gain some desperately needed levels and gold. Except, no, not really. You have to sit there hammering at a wall for 3 arduous turns. Somehow, the wall was winning as it was constantly throwing -1 and -2 modifiers at me. That's where I had to cal…4 found this helpful
This games have so many bugs that it becomes unbearable and unplayable. I did a full playthrough and need to convince myself to play again. I'm playing in multiplayer (so maybe the bugs are not there in single players) and I don't advice this game. We need to restart the game every ~15minutes (cause the game crash saying "waiting for x players" when the other players already confirmed their thing), outside of time, you don't click fast enough or do to many things at the same time, the bugs will appear. Sometimes you can move your character to a case, but your teammates will see something else (no idea why) and if you loot gold you may or may not get it because of this. The characters seemed to be muddle most/all the time (i.e., you get the worse of the 2 cards). x0 seem to be there more than what luck intended. I could continue about all the problems of this game, but overall just don't buy it. Save your money!
A few missions are bugged and they'll never be able to update or fix it, but other than that it's a great adaption of a great game.
it is good
Multiplayer desync within the first 30 minutes. The game's solution to a desync is sending both players back to the main menu, and it deleted all our progress. Separately, the EULA essentially says they see nothing wrong with selling you a game and then flipping off your access when they stop making enough sales, unethically leaving you with no value for your spent money.
just like the tabletop game with some cool additions and little to no setup time of all the cards the decks the enemy initiative etc. really fun way to do a new campaign with non local friends
