I had planned to play this before Diablo, but Zelda is a ginormous game, so no time for this right now, sadly. That's fine, it will give them time to patch and polis, it's something I will play it for sure at some point.

So much to play lately, between Wartales, the latest update of Starsector, and this!
For those who haven't purchased Solasta yet but are interested in getting it and all the DLC in one bundle. Also on GOG.

Yup, that price is likely to get me to finally make a purchase before June first.
The first battle had a Vrock in it. I Love to see old-school monsters.
Unfortunately I only recently played through the first campaign. I'm unlikely to dive back into it this year with so many other games. It certainly is a game I will want to play at some point though.

Was amazing game even 10 years ago, IIRC. Couldn't find it on Steam, tho. So Starsector webpage here.

The new expansion is a bit buggy so far. They have released one patch and are working on the two main problems I've had so far. I will hold off for another patch or two.

It's a great game. Only available on the developper website. In a way, it's similar to Band of Brother, Wartales, Mount & Blade... You have your "party" which in this Sci-Fi context is a fleet, that you manage, customize, upgrade. You can trade, you can be a pirate or a mercs, you can just go around the "sector" and explore. And of course, you can build an empire. Battles are also pretty fun. I've never seen any other game mastering capital ships space battle so well. No boring "asteroid mining" here.

I've almost finished, but have definitely had some annoying bugs - like combat freezing (as in having to quit and start again, twice in one combat), and some smaller things - and apparently a long-standing bug: spell effects going through walls (!) I had a cone of cold and dragon breath weapon blast me unexpectedly, when I carefully positioned my party to avoid them. That said, I am finding it a bit too easy now (level 16) on 'normal'. I kind of get the sense this DLC released with less testing?

There has been already two patches released this week. Hopefully, they should be able to fix most of the bugs quickly.
5e is definitely player-friendly and more forgiving than past versions. For Solasta I crank up the difficulty. When I play 5e with my friends I have to increase the monster hit points and AC. Even add some new powers to creatures.
