Early Access Review
Highly Recommended For Any D&D Fan!!!
(Side note; amazing how many people didn't denote the difference between a *Pre-order Game* and an *Early Access Game* prior to purchase)

I began playing this game over a year ago, on and off unfortunately as my PC needed an upgrade, but soon after i got two key components; i have been playing the game virtually non-stop. As an added bonus, I am a huge D&D fan/player/DM, I absolutely love this game and recommend it to anyone who loves D&D. My brother and I use it to get our D&D fix in-between playing multiple sessions (currently playing in four campaigns and DMing a fifth) and watching Critical Role. This is also a great game for those new to D&D and want a taste and learn a bit about how it works. Highly recommend!!! High replay value as well, I still have a couple races, and many classes/sub-class variations; not including backgrounds and proficiency builds! The newly added Barbarian class is a lot of fun and I am enjoying both sub-classes as well. The new spells added for the various magic user classes and races have been great and a lot of fun to use, especially Misty Step (which is also one of my personal favorites in D&D). Also love that they finally added Inspiration!!!

UPDATE:
For all the comments and reviews hating or bashing on This amazing and wonderful game by Larian Studios & Wizards of the Coast; I am not sure how familiar they are with D&D, it contains multitudes of rules, passive checks/abilities, plus the many spells, weapons, and battle mechanics. They also have hundreds of spells they are trying to add, plus the correct spell's affects, duration, and disadvantages suffered depending on the severity of the hit and level of the spell used. Then you have passive rolls, initiative rolls, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws and so on, plus the various outcomes based on the rolls by both the attacker and target. D&D isn't a quick copy and paste to the video game realm, as D&D is more immersive and customizable than any RPG, with tons more depth, lore, as well as the numerous races, classes, sub-classes, features, feats, spells, armors, weapons, magic items, and all the other item types and their various rarities (also good to note that not all races or classes are able to use every item, so they have to factor that in correctly ensuring that's reflected in the item description as well as your stats when used). I have no problem continuing to wait for a quality product true to D&D. I was well aware when I paid for an -Early Access Game- that it is STILL in production and is subject to various timeline changes, Especially in regards to an ambitious project such as this. I play almost daily in any of my three campaigns (two online and one solo). They have done and are continuing to do an amazing job on this game!
