I have played BG3, Crown of the Magister, Wartales, Battle Brothers, DOS 2, and older party building/CRPG games. I own the base game and the Lost Valley expansion. Overall, I recommend Solasta. Things I like: +Combat is done really well. ~Visual aids showing what targets you have line of sight on when moving is great. ~3D for combat (for the most part) is terrifically done. Things that crawl on walls is great. NOTE: aerial swarms (doesn't happen often) can be a little confusing frustrating. ~aids to show when you are shielded is well done. ~darkness is a real thing. Fluctuates between being a cool feature and frustrating at times - overall good. +Sneak mode is easy to use and an enjoyable experience. +Game creates a sense of danger/what's around the next corner feeling. +BG3 is a beautiful thing but in some ways this game beats out BG3 (in others it loses big..but in some...). +Exploring an area features beautiful and interesting layouts. +The map tool is great, helpful, and easy to use. +The world is it's own place and is interesting. Things I didn't like: +character renderings for dialog scenes. +"options" during dialog scenes, NPC interactions. The bones of the story are there but the interactions need improvement. Come across as too simplistic. +sometimes has a bit of the "deliver the mail, do the next thing feel" that a lot of these games have. I'll buy the last DLC and play it.

"I want to play Baldur's Gate 3 but the gameplay loop is just going between dungeons to dungeons like crypt at the beginning and also I can have a full party of custom characters instead of Origin Characters" This is the game for you (me)

I am EXCEPTIONALLY pleased with Solasta. I played BG3 for a few hundred hours but was always held back by two things. First, my twitch reflexes suck (I'm 72 but I gotta admit they've never been particularly stellar). Second, I had a stroke a few years ago and my off hand is useless and I'm forced to play one-handed. With Solasta I can enjoy the D&D 5e experience. Extremely well done.

Solasta is to BG3 what Fallout Tactics was to Fallout, i.e. a combat game, and a good one at that. Its combat and adherence to D&D rules are very well implemented, allowing for a harrowing variety of approaches to any given battle. Like most combat games, it comes packaged with a bland story line, forgettable characters and horrible voice acting that occasionally borders on "so bad, it's good". TLDR: If you buy this game for the story, you will be disappointed. If you buy this game for its combat, you're in for a great time.

This past decade we've seen a major CRPG revival, and Solasta might have been overlooked by some, lost among the flood of quality releases. I myself only gave it a serious chance earlier this month, despite having owned it for years. I'm very glad I did, since it turned out to be a worthwhile experience and an impressive game, given its limited budget. Since anyone who is interested in Solasta has likely already played Baldur's Gate 3 at this point, or will do so in the future, I will use Larian's masterpiece as a point of comparison. Obviously, this game did not have the budget of BG3, which means that certain aspects such as the writing, voice acting, graphical fidelity, etc. are not quite up to par. If you're looking for a transcendental narrative experience with well-written and engaging companions, you won't find it here - you control a party of four custom-made characters whose personalities only differ from each other in that they occasionally spew vaguely appropriate lines depending on the background you selected for them. However, if you're interested in building characters and fighting battles using a very faithful rendition of D&D fifth edition, that is what Solasta truly excels at. There were many times that I finished an encounter with a big grin on my face after having crushed the opposition, thanks to the synergy between my party composition, character builds, and tactics. This is an essential aspect of CRPGs that Solasta does very well. Strange as it may sound, it also has a few quality-of-life features that BG3 does not, despite its smaller scale. For example, you get a warning when your caster is about to break Concentration, and your party members will automatically stop moving as soon as a trap is spotted (something introduced by Pillars of Eternity all the way back in 2015). On the other hand, sometimes it follows D&D convention a little too slavishly. At one point, my wizard was unable to level up because she couldn't select new spells due to her spellbook being full. After the quest was over, I had to go find a vendor to buy a spare spellbook. This is the sort of pointless busywork that Larian thankfully got rid of for BG3. In summary, if you're looking for a solid, mechanically competent D&D-based RPG to keep you occupied for a few dozen hours, I would absolutely recommend Solasta. It won't rock your world or move you to tears, but that's not what it sets out to do. What it does attempt to do, it does very well, making this a must-buy for the true CRPG aficionado.
