I've bought this game after the cooperation was added to play with my friends. As a DnD 5e tabletop player I must say that it's almost exactly the same as DnD rules. I won't compare it to BG3 in opposition to others, because BG3 is still early access and I'll wait for the final game to release. Solasta's story is nice, not the best I've seen in my life but still this is engaging enough, getting better with time in Crown of the Magister and Lost Valley as well. The characters we created with friends were very sacrastic and cynical and we had lots of laughs with the dialogs - sometimes they are really great and there were moments where we couldn't wait to see another cutscene with our player characters. Compared to DnD rules though, I didn't notice the cover mechanics being implemented but maybe I didn't pay enough attention(?). When playing on the tabletop ruleset, the game is sometimes hard and forces you to think about your tactics. So far there are 12 levels only but both the Lost Valley and Crown of the Magister campaigns are still long enough. Really fun game. At this moment I have both campaigns completed with 88 hours of playtime and we are thinking to replay it another time with different characters. The great thing about this game is also the fact that if a player hosting the campaign has some DLCs, the other players do not have to, including the whole Lost Valley campaign. The soundtrack was a nice background, but I can't remember anything particular that wanted me to open youtube and find it after playing the game. Good, but nothing special. I'd give it 4,5 stars for its few flaws but it's not possible. I'm giving 5 because current 4,1 average is too low for this game in my opinion.
