    We played through the whole game on the hardest difficulty and i agree it was very easy, Once you are kitted the archer will be hitting for over 1-2m damage if you spam poison and a certain move, she also has an easy time since the game has not added AI yet. The most annoying thing for me was the enemies not telegraphing their attacks, i have so many clips of them dealing damage before they play the animation, or attacking in another direction 30 meters away from you but killing you. I don't think anybody actually play tested this game. Also, did not use a single camp and the loot is so random.

      I got my Playstation 5 last week (which came with Astro's Playroom) and I was looking for more games to get since I just got the PS5 and I came VERY close to buying this D&D game since it just came out. Luckily, I started running out of money after buying Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Mortal Kombat 11 and decided to save the last of my money for a 2nd controller. I would have cried if I had paid $40 for this poor excuse for a D&D game.

      This would work if you plan to surprise the player. I used to play a fighter in dnd when the dm tells me that I found just a plate armor in a chest. I asked him if that's just a ordinary plate armor I shrug and just put on the plate armor then out of nowhere he says "a cursed plate armor that is part of your family lineage as you're slowing losing part of your consciousness as your great grandfather trying to gain control of you." Now I was shocked cause I was playing a fighter human who has no knowledge of his family and to hear the DM straight up pull that twist on me was impressive. Wish I could say the same to this disappointment of a game

      Same kind of a deal is going on the Xbox too. People that are defending this game over here said that the game should get off the Xbox Game Pass simply because they believed that the people who were complaining about the game are a bunch of “kids,” “cod players” or a bunch of noobs or review bombers or something like that.
      But honestly if this wasn’t on the Game Pass so much people’s money could’ve gone wasted and there wouldn’t be any ACTUAL criticism on the game’s reviews.
      Speaking of which, the game is so bad that it even caused this game on Xbox to have over 2000 different reviews on it as well, while sitting at 2.5 Stars as I’m typing this, containing with two distinct arguments about the game (in which you can just imagine what it is).

      I have seen obvious reasons why people would call them Review Bombers or something similar and I can't blame them for it. A lot of 1 Star Reviewers across almost every game makes no sense or rather explains super vaguely. And I don't think it's just on Xbox either.
      But either way, still, I feel like the people that believe this game is a 5/5 and imagine the criticisms are overexaggerated probably have too low of their standards.

      Two problems: the astronomical costs of creating modern games, and that games can be easily patched after release. So studios feel immense pressure to launch their game as soon as it's technically playable to start generating income (pay their employees and funders), and that launch isn't terribly important because they can always keep working on the game and patch it later. All games are broken pieces of shit for most of their time in development, but the state at launch is becoming less and less important these days - unless the audience keeps it angry over stuff like this. This looks like it needed another 6 months in the oven, but they probably completely ran out of money. Covid probably disrupted the studio, too (if the game started development in 2019, it's spent basically its entire lifecycle in a work from home situation, which isn't going to be great at all).

It may seem fun to new players, but us older players know how gutted the game is next to past editions, and how much more fun the game was when you could create a character with more options.
