This is by far the most fun I've had in a co-op multiplayer game in some years.
I can't really vouch for the singleplayer experience most players are talking about - if I'm being honest I don't think I'd play this game singleplayer at all. I'm talking about enjoying TTRPG as it should be: with friends. Playing this multiplayer has been a regular activity for my group of friends for over 6 months now and we've all been having a blast.
This is the best attempt to translate the 5e formula into a digital game I've seen, and the combat is pretty fun and fast because of that. If you like 5e combat you'll love this game.
There is some wonkiness, yes. Some visual bugs, stupid "can't perceive this enemy" situations even if you have the range to hit them and it's broad daylight and more. The story is pretty bland and obvious, but the worldbuilding is well done. And finally while the roleplay has some nice novelty with social ability checks and character personalities, you don't actually have much agency over the characters, you just find the personalities they fell into given your inputs during creation interesting or not.
Because of those factors I'll give it a 4/5, to be objective. But if I were rating only the fun I've had and have been having with my gang? Absolutely 5/5, would recommend.
