The reason that many people quite like Solasta, done by a French company, is because it adheres a lot more closely to the D&D 5e rule set.

So, Borders Gate 3 takes what you might call creative liberties, in the name of speeding up gameplay, things like you don't roll a d20 for initiative, you roll a d4.

You can throw healing potions at someone, and that can heal them because the glass breaks and they get healing potion into them for the...

Shards of Glass, question mark?

I don't know.

None of that in Selassie, but you do have quite fun exploration, looking for pillars to push over so you can climb into new places.

Probably the biggest criticisms of the original game was that it was a bit ugly.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad.

Gosh, gosh.

Screenshots I've seen didn't look ugly to me.

Yeah, like, this is what the people who quite like the game on the Celeste subreddit say.

Like...

We like it, but it's not as pretty as Baldur's Gate 3.

People say, oh, well, we should probably play Celeste with Baldur's Gate 3.

It is a choice because Baldur's Gate 3 is a lot nicer looking.

Like, no two ways about it.

And there's a lot more characters.

You can do more romances, whereas you control all four characters in Celeste.

And one of the things that I found very exciting about Celeste is that they introduced completely new subclasses.

because they were working off the 2014 OGL document when they made it.
