I have now been playing this so much that I can give a review ... I have not played quite through yet but I've tried this and that (including killing some boss fights that some other players haves said are difficult fights).

NOTE This is an ALPHA experience ... Gaming laptop crashes so much with the game that it is allowed to be especially if there are maxima graphics in FULL HD.

With this Gaming desktop machine, I have played FULL HD (the native resolution of my monitor is the max FULL HD)
all the graphics maximum and the game is stable enough for the first time i had to load when the character got stuck in the terrain.


CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor in TURBO mode 4.2 Ghz

RAM: 16 GB to be more exact:
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 16GB KIT 3200Mhz
2x8GB, PC25600/3200Mhz, 16GVBK, CL 16

Power: Seasonic Focus+ 650W 80+ GOLD PSU ATX 12V, 80 Plus Gold, Modular

Yet the Domain I want to create has not been added so I did Wood Elf Cleric Light Domain:

Desktop experience:
+ Stable enough for maximum graphics in FULL HD.
+ Good enough graphics.
+ Dungeons Dragons 5 required a bit of adaptation and I don't like Cleric being nerfed to KINGDOM Come compared to eg DD 3.5 but I guess it works if I can play.
+ Main story and sidequests have felt good enough.
+ Music and sounds good.
+ I am a horror fan this photo taken with my laptop before I gave up that game crashes because (due to the light projector Light spell when it is dark so I'm not excited to carry the torch):

+ Challenging! Although the difficulty level is now Normal and cannot be changed
so of course I was thinking that maybe one difficulty level over Normal would give me already its extreeme challenging atmosphere ...
+ The game supports cooperative multiplayer and single player and both work.
Neutral: There is no PvP in the game.
Neutral: Like I said Cleric is nerfed so if there is no LIFE domain then Healing is a bit ineffective ... this is remedied by eating food in the game. One can even in the middle of a fight eat bread which is not realistic but so be it. Sure if there is a high enough Healing spell then if we talk about fast Healing it will win the food eating. In addition to this, one can acquire Healing potions.
Neutral. In camera mode it requires a bit of learning curve and getting used to. There is also the option of having O Tactical mode separately in battles and sometimes I take both temporarily but look better without it.
Neutral: Turn based combat, but suitable for me.
Neutral. The environment can be used to advantage in battles.
Neutral: The game still lacks some classes and e.g. the Cleric Domains Players Handbook should be added.
Negative issues:
- Sometimes immersion in the game could be better. You go to the beach so you come across e.g. an invisible wall you can't even toe to go to the sea. Not to mention there are no weather or day effects.
- The cooperation between GOG.com and Larian Studios can be improved. Right now, all GOG.com players are playing a slightly older version of the game not all the latest version.
I guess this will be fixed at some point.
- Gog Galaxy I'm not excited about it. It will start automatically if you start the game.

Haa my dream woman made with game graphics:

Review score what I give so far? Well 8/10, but there is still room for improvement and this is such an early stage for ALPHA Early Access.

I tried to avoid spoilers and if I show one screenshot of the Horror place let it be so I won't tell you where that Horror place is or what the potential dangers are. I haven't tried Multiplayer. My brother said he is willing to play with me but does not want to buy it for 60 euros.

Some players have complained about the to difficult challenging (difficulty level can not be changed ALPHA it is Normal) .... I have been playing Pen and Paper Dungeons & Dragons, and there is no way to challenging me. I even said that I was interested in playing one difficulty level over Normal then when it is fully released.

I do not know what has happened but now Shadowheart DEX has updated to correctly. This game still needs updates i.e content cutscenes, classes and Cleric domains.

My character when he became level 4... I killed the Drow boss on first try... and when I came out after killed all Goblin bosses on first try to my surprise the neutral guards were hostile. I killed all of the Goblins exterminate them in the courtyard and that Temple Fortress area.

Yes I did have when came out less prepared one NPC that fell down had to roll death roll but so what I helped her she was Lae Zel.
