General video game discussion

[MGibster]

I just finished playing Spider-Man (Remastered), Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Spider-Man 2. They were fairly enjoyable games with some pretty amazing boss fights. The only real flaws were some of the fights with goons got a little tedious and overall the games are too easy on regular difficulty.

I am trying to figure out which CRPG from my backlog to tackle. The nominees are:
Baldurs Gate 3 (I have about 20 hours in this from a year ago and would restart with an intent to complete it)
Expedition 33 (I know, this is more of a JRPG)
Dininity OS 2 (I have like 8 hours in this from forever ago and would start totally fresh)
Drova (I started this; it felt hard)
Mirthwood (I don't even know when I bought this)
Rogue Trader (it looks good but complicated)
Solasta (I boiunced off early but mostly because of how it looks)
Temple of Elemental Evil (nostalgia ho!)
Wildermyth (I wanted this game for the generational stuff)
Wizardry 1 remake (because I hate myself?)

So, do you have any thoughts on any of those?

Unfortunately, I've drifted away from CRPGs, so most of those I know only by reputation; I own and played Solasta for a while, but drifted out of it (not a particular critique of it, it was for the same reason I haven't finished a CRPG in years). I've seen a lot of really positive buzz about Expedition 33.

Temple of Elemental Evil, but install Circle of Eight and Temple Plus

Baldurs Gate 3 (I have about 20 hours in this from a year ago and would restart with an intent to complete it)

It’s great. I have a lot of minor gripes but the overall package is fantastic

Rogue Trader (it looks good but complicated)

Good writing, interesting companions, and the comically grim sci-fi setting made a nice change from my usual fantasy. It is indeed very long and complicated, though generous enough with respecs that if you screw up your build it isn’t a huge disaster.

Solasta (I boiunced off early but mostly because of how it looks)

It’s a 5E combat simulator, and a pretty good one too. I thought it looked fine, though I do remember some moaning about the faces.

Wildermyth (I wanted this game for the generational stuff)

I enjoyed the combat and generational stuff, but I found the writing pretty hit and miss. I was think they were aiming for “mystical and profound”, but about half the time hit “confusing and twee” instead. That’s a minority opinion though.
