I was asked recently which I enjoyed more-Solasta or BG3-and to my surprise I chose BG3. Even though I have a lot of criticisms with Larian's decisions about BG3 and found its combat worse than Solasta's, overall I still had more fun playing it.
I, of course, hope that the combat and resting mechanics are changed to more closely match 5e (or, at least, provide a better balance where the correct option isn't always to get high ground/backstab). But the quality of BG3's story, the nonlinearity of the maps, the production value and dialogue, all these things are pretty darn solid and more than make up for the lackluster mechanics. BG3 is currently around a 7.5/10 game for me (a real 7.5/10, not an "IGN 7.5/10"), which is not bad.
