Depends on what you like. I’m enjoying it so far, but it’s not a casual game. It’s slow and there’s a ton of information thrown at you from the beginning in terms of game mechanics. It’s pretty overwhelming honestly, even though I’m familiar with older editions of d&d.
The turn based combat means battles can last a long time. It’s still satisfying, but it can also be a real slog sometimes.
I think a lot of people will find some of the dialogue mechanics tedious. If you want to roleplay for a certain outcome you’ll be forced to save scum because it uses on-screen dice rolls for conversation checks. But at the same time the RNG/dice system can lead to some cool, unexpected situations so I usually just go with it and enjoy the consequences, there’s a ton of freedom in this game and the writing and design is pretty clever. It does feel like a next gen RPG just because of the sheer scope of it and the huge number of options and abilities it gives you.
I’m finding the story interesting, the characters are well written, and there’s a ton of good content. It’s also gorgeous and hitting 60 fps on my laptop 3060 on ultra settings at 2k.
I’d say if you enjoy a deep/thoughtful role playing game, it’s worth trying. If you prefer a faster-paced RPG like Witcher or Dark Souls it might not be your cup of tea so watch some videos first. I definitely like it more than Diablo IV, but it’s basically a different genre entirely. It’s much, much deeper than D4.
