Solasta: Crown of the Magister

Good DnD game, but unpolished

Its hard not to compare this to Baldurs Gate 3. Solasta clearly has a lower budget, but still delivers a DnD experience that in some ways is better than BG3. Solasta is clearly more combat driven, while BG3 is story driven. So if you like DnD style battles and mechanics this is going to be a blast. Do you want high end, polished graphics, audio and AAA story telling, then its not matching up to those expectations. Mechanics are nice, especially how they did the reaction mechanic (that BG3 just stole ) works better in Solasta than in BG3 Graphics are old school but good enough to enjoy the game with, but the dialog can be greatly improved. Add some more voice actors, better angles. BG3 has this covered, and delivers 100% on that. Solasta doesn't have too many cutscenes and at least most of them easily skippable. Which makes exploring, battle and replaying the game much more enticing and easy. Something I have a hard time with in BG3, I cannot just pick up BG3 over and over. Solasta is the first game that I buy classes as DLC's purely because its a small studio and I want them to get income to polish the game as much as they can!
