Solasta Crown Of The Magister Review
One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to experience the Dungeons & Dragons fandom during its heyday in the 80s and 90s. Still, I've been intrigued by video games and tabletop games that are either based on or are loosely influenced by it. That brings us to Solasta: Crown of the Magister which is set to leave Early Access tomorrow.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister aims to continue a tradition of worthwhile offerings with a classic CRPG flair. Indeed, developer Tactical Adventures even touts that it's a faithful adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons' ruleset. For the most part, though, Solasta is a surprisingly decent romp that brings hours of enjoyment, though it does falter towards the end.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister
A role-playing game that promises to faithfully adapt Dungeons & Dragons' ruleset.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister has a few notable problems, and it starts to stumble the closer you get to the finish line. However, it still manages to offer an engaging and highly customizable experience that will keep you entertained for many hours.
Score: 8/10

I love the game but I also love TBC and D&D. 9/10 for people like me and 8/10 for crpg fans.

The main campaign of Solasta: Crown of the Magister took me just a little over 25 hours to complete with Authentic difficulty selected.Sounds like he rushed the playthrough pretty much.
What bothers me though is this:
Then again, perhaps the most egregious problem is related to Solasta‘s main campaign. You’ll notice a lot of effort put into Solasta‘s first act as that’s the playable portion during the Early Access period. Then, it becomes stranger in the second act when a follower takes you to random locations and mini-dungeons.And yet he gave 8/10? Strange…
The third act is where things take a turn for the worse. Without spoiling anything, let’s just say that your efforts to help out some folks would lead to your characters just shrugging after a quick escape. There’s even a section where you go through some very weird areas, seemingly with no rhyme or reason. Lastly, the final chapter feels like an extremely rushed and jumbled mess.
I hope it's not as bad as he says.
