Playtime: 20 Hours
Not for me sadly. I was interested in this game since it was well reviewed and I have enjoyed some CRPGs in the past like Wasteland 3, PoE and Divinity Original Sin. There were some things I did like, such as the quality of life features in terms of looting and inventory management and that you can freely switch between turn based and real time with pause combat. However the game just has a dull presentation for me. The prologue section makes you think there will be a lot of voice acting but there really isn't unless its main missions or you meeting your companions for the first time. Most of the time you have to read a lot of text which I don't usually mind in games, but a lot of the writing can feel very long winded and dull to read imo. The combat also is very party based where you have to buff your party before going into battle but most of your spells have a limited use per day, which I know is part of the tabletop version, but its just not fun for me in a video game setting. By no means is this a bad game and I wouldn't tell you to not buy it, it just depends if your a fan of tabletop games or your willing to get into the systems and rule set. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
