I think we're so used to gaming magazines using 6-7/10 to imply "literally unplayable". Anything under that is pretty much "I dislike the franchise/company/I have a personal grudge with someone who likes it/whevs" comedy score and the surprisingly not-at-all-rare 10/10 is "I'm trying to score a freebie/I have been given a freebie/my mate who I haven't fallen out with yet works there and might get me a job" leaving at best two or three usable scores, ranging from "meh" to "pretty good" based on a maximum of 20 minutes' playing time.

But the music and film press set the standard decades ago. Yeah, looking at you, NME, where the album reviews mostly consisted of some hack showing off his vocabulary of the obscure.
Well perhaps there is some truth in what you say but I rate games as I rate IMDB movies. There are not even several movies that I give 10/10 rating.

7/10 is good for me. Nothing special though.

Reminds in which sense? Because, for example, I look at it and see Icewind Dale (probably second rather than first).
I agree with RutgerF. Well so far this game has been very linear indeed.

I am not changing my vote from 7/10.
I dont know but I have real problems with the userinterface and DnD rules.

What you need somatic component hand free?
Your are constantly encumbered and no my characters are not weak in strength in general except the Wizard.

I experienced one crash in Solasta so far and it then suggested lower graphics from maximum FULL HD when restarted game after crash. I did not do that still maximum graphics FULL HD. Well to games credit it autosaved the game so did not need to fight again a battle. It crashed like 5 seconds after a battle.

Much telling is my view of this game if by now I have reached Outpost and found will not say what since spoilers but not gone away from there yet. Well and I am still level 2. Sorry I keep my vote firmly on 7/10 for Solasta it is not better then that. It is enough interesting to keep me going, but not really good like 8/10.

Why do I play only on FULL HD resolution Solasta and not say 1440k or 4k resolution? My gaming display is suitable for FPS games, but has maximum resolution only FULL HD.

What now you might think that dude Terminator2020 he is probably running Solasta maximum graphics FULL HD on a laptop that goes warm and generally has system crashes in many games?
My answer is no it is desktop not super new bought it year 2018 but still good for games specially if you run games only at FULL HD resolution maximum and do not care about fancy ray tracing. My desktop did not ran hot when I experienced my only system crash in Solast so far at least.

This is my desktop hardware, bought year 2018 so not saying it is super hardware by long shot, but good enough for BG3 and Solasta MAXIMUM graphics at FULL HD resolution.
