Best RPG since Baldur's Gate 2 .
I have just finished Solasta with over 56 hours of played time invested in it (did all the sidequests, and all). The game is amazing, I have backed the kickstarter from day 1 and Tactical Adventures delivered in a way that should be an example set before every kickstarter RPG project! They have delivered an amazing quality game with basically no delay that rivals or even surpasses AAA quality RPG-s in the genre. This is no Pathfinder Kingmaker launch, the game is basically bug free and they have already patched the few tiny things that were buggy (none of these were game breaking mind you). I am an oldschool cRPG fan with all the greats under my belt (the original Baldur's Gate I+II+ToB, Icewind Dale I+II, Planescape Torment etc.), and I can confidently say this has been one of the best games I have played in years. The combat and the translation of 5e into a turned based top-down RPG is excellent in my opinion. Of course there are small hiccups, but they are mostly not the fault of the developers (it would have been nice to have the entire official 5e implemented and not just the SRD, as it was quite dissapointing for example that my Oath of Devotion Paladin did not get the 3rd level spells at lvl 9 I was looking forward to because they are missing from the SRD). I really really enjoyed the 3D possibilities regarding spellcasting. Lobbing that fireball into a group of enemies above their heads in a way that it does not hit my platewearers, but cleaves down all enemies was an amazing thing to witness. I really enjoyed the storytelling of the game as well. Tactical Adventures has built a unique setting with Solasta that is engaging and cool. I really enjoyed the unfolding of the story of the everyday adventurers turning into heroes of the realm. The game is combat heavy but it delivers it in a satisfactory way with tons of possibilities with stealthy groups and surprise to group tactics and so on. Can only recommend, cannot wait for the continuation!
