This game should be used as a basic definition of bloat. The features and gameplay activities trip over each other while vying for your time, most of them half finished. They also LOVE wasting your time like there is no tomorrow. The setting is your typical fantasy, it is a good entry point. It is very stable and you shouldn't have technical problems with it. Even in spite of its TOO LONG gameplay time(later acts often feel more like a time waste than like something truly interesting) and all the FEATURE BLOAT, it IS VERY FUN. The basic moment - moment is nailed proficiently and you just want to go from a fight to fight, from adventure to adventure. The oft criticized Kingdom Management is just too strict with resources, otherwise it is fine(except mandatory wait times for the Bald Hilltop). Overall, I can recommend this one. With a caveat. Wrath of the Righteous is at least 10x better. Also, use the Call of the Wild and Bag of Tricks mods. Wrath is factually better(even the vanilla Wrath vs CotW Kingmaker), but there is fun to be had here as well. Get Call of the Wild and have fun!
Well, they tried. But the game is thoroughly mediocre and plays worse than NWN 2(a 17 year old game!). If you are itching for a dungeon crawling simulator with a completely forgettable story, outdated graphics and, basically, unfinished game(pay for classes, very few impactful Archetypes etc), this is your game. Also, some weird setting, why couldn't they use some SRD locales from D%D? I do not care about this "Solasta" setting one bit. It is basically a modern Icewind Dale or Greyhawk.
