How do the two new D&D 5th edition games stack against one another? Two D&D 5e-based CRPGs enter the arena, both looking to catch the attention of dice-rolling tabletop fans. On the one hand, Baldur’s Gate 3 looks to bring its heritage back on the map while newcomer Solasta: Crown of the Magister wants us to remember to roll for initiative.
My progress has slowed to a snail’s pace because there are so many tough battles.
I mean, the last act is the literal climax of the entire game. So yeah, there's a bunch of fights (and they're not particularly hard either). The Gamer with another hard hitting piece of 'content'.
Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 has climbed its way to become the most-played game on Steam Deck over the last 12 months.
Would be great if the game didn't freeze or bug out during play. I've tried 3x times for same match in career mode only to have all three games end in some weird technical issue. Just can't get into it.
Wizards of the Coast's parent company, Hasbro, wants to keep collaborating with Baldur's Gate 3 dev as it expands into the gaming domain.
Nothing like selling 10 million copies of a game to attract the interest of a few companies.
It's interesting to me how Larian is hailed as doing exactly what gamers want in the industry, and Hasbro has the exact opposite.
I think Larian should partner up with Paizo (Pathfinder) if they can. Both companies seem to have a way more ethical business practise than Hasbro.
I welcome them investing in more high quality games. I want to see a return of transformers games as war for Cybertron and fall of Cybertron were my favorites back in the day.
In a year where Hasbro did everything they could to kill off Dungeons & Dragons (following the year they tried to kill off Magic: The Gathering), D&D had both a successful movie video game. In 2020, Hasbro pledged to double profits and after that was successful they pledged to do it again in 2022. Each year they are developing new ways to extract as much money from gamers as possible - such as $1,000 for 4 packs of 30th Anniversary MtG. Here's what they wanted to do with D&D.

Just glad we have two D&D games to consider. I'm playing both, but probably more Solasta at the moment until Baulders gate gets smoothed out.
Yes, I have both, and I am enjoying both immensely!
