SpoonMan's review of Sword Coast Legends

Sword Coast Legends is a decent action RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. While the story itself is mediocre, there is a major focus on the combat (much like the older Icewind Dale series), which keeps the experience tolerable till the end.

Unfortunately, they completely trashed the D&D combat balance due to the itemization and how stacking works in this game. Instead of getting the maximum bonus from among all the items you equip, all the bonuses are added together, leading to ridiculously overpowered character builds.

Ultimately, even though this does not ruin the fun of the combat (unless you want more variety in your party configuration), it makes the difficulty settings redundant, which is slightly annoying. For instance, the final boss fight in hard mode involved clicking on the boss once and then watching his life pool get whittled down in less than a minute. Oh well. That's what I get for trying to optimize every character build in every game I play.

PS: More importantly, this is the 300th PC game I have completed (and the 401st game across all different platforms). I need to stop.

Actual Score: 3.5/5

Looking forward to playing the new, free DLC that came out for this. Once I beat Pillars of Eternity I'll give it a go.

My first impression through their Head-Start access for pre-orders was a pretty poor one. The game looks kinda ugly, sounded kinda ugly, and played kinda ugly. Got my hands on the full game (I ended up NOT refunding my preorder) and I have to say that, 4 hours in, I'm enjoying it. Voice acting is solid (with a couple characters I really like), the story is actually intelligible and rather interesting. Visually it's still ugly. I just went through a cave...and then a sewer. Ugh. But still, I'm finding it fun to play. I made a cleric, so I'm playing it like I always play MMOs. Staring at health bars, only occasionally glancing down at the action. I like it that way, actually. Anyway, still plenty more to play but I have to say I'm surprised. The head-start access was pretty rough. Maybe this will kindle the drive to play those older CRPGs I so desperatly want.

Preordered this so I have the Head Start Access. This game is hideous. And clunky. I feel like I've made a mistake. I wanted to build a campaign for some friends, but it plays like trash. I was hoping for more of a D&D feel, but it's really just traps and doors that can be seen if you have a high enough perception. Eh...I don't know about this one.
