console (Atari 2600) and PC since 1979 and TTRPG since 1985. I've played the VAST majority of the tactical (and real time) RPG titles to date and several TTRPG varieties including Shadowrun and D&D. It's literally my favorite genre due to it's creative storytelling and pause to think combat. Solasta is hands down the most FUN digital rendition of the D&D 5.x ruleset I've ever played. I feel like a kid again sitting around a table with all my other nerd pals rolling dice and talking mess. While the graphics and the voice acting leave a bit to be desired, and the camera frequently allows environment to get in the way and block your view (my biggest gripe actually) the overall gameplay, the creativity with the engine to make various environments look GREAT and the exciting combat make this game worth every penny of the MSRP. And I got lucky and scored it on a 50% off sale. I will be buying DLC for this without a doubt. I'm also very much looking forward to another run with various party builds. WELL DONE!
