The verdict
A huge, reactive D&D 5e CRPG with superb companions, writing and freedom. Skip it if you dislike dice-roll RNG, slow turn-based combat or bugs.
Great for
Story-focused RPG fans, D&D newcomers and co-op groups who love replaying with new builds
Main risk
Dice-driven, slow turn-based combat and lingering bugs can feel like a chore
