One of the best games in recent years. Larian shot through the roof with this one.
This shows that gamers don't need procedural generated "forever" games!
Best coop-multiplayer experience I had in years. The continious communication, split-second decision-making and execution of our silly plans were the highlights of my week.
Beautifully individually crafted stories, characters and gameplay. Lots of (hidden) amazing and gorgeous things to find, follow and uncover. GET SPEAK WITH ANIMALS!
Voice-acting and music was phenomanal.
Your actions impact the world around you in a fantastic way; you can create your own unique adventure with every decision you make starting from character creation. Replay value is super high.
Exactly what you would want from the genre. D&D mechanics are adapted in a well balanced fashion.
Continuous performance updates and balance patches based on feedback are more than welcome. The game even works decently well on the Steam Deck now.
Nitpicking:
Implying and foreshadowing of long-lasting or big consequences for the characters were sometimes a bit lacking or too ambiguous. (e.g. some "operations" you can get)
Character and camera movement in combat can be frustrating at times. Spam-clicking tiny movements instead of one click can mitigate that a bit.
Amount of content and mechanics combined with open world can be overwhelming for newish players.
