As someone who plays a lot of 5e, I had a blast with this video game adaptation, especially when I was curb-stomping bosses using ridiculously overpowered builds no DM would ever let me get away with. (Spell slots and long rests are for suckers, who needs them when you can kill even a dragon with just two rounds of cantrips and crossbow bolts?) It’s a wildly ambitious, occasionally broken mess of a game whose moments of extreme frustration (like having to restart the final boss fight after discovering that disguising my character inexplicably locked me out of triggering the 2nd phase) did little to change the fact that it’s otherwise an extraordinary achievement.
