Yeah as the other user said, it’s the D&D backbone… I feel like that is the main thing that has prevented me from truly loving the game (and getting past Act 1). I kind of wish they wouldn’t have stuck so strictly to the D&D ruleset.
Maybe try Divinity: Original Sin 2? I’m pretty sure the combat in that one is not D&D based.
It is amazing for gaming (particularly if you go with AMD over Nvidia). I’ve run into very few (if any) games that have outright not worked. Almost all games work with not tinkering whatsoever.
Checkout protondb.com and look up the games you’re wondering about.
It is so fucking stupid, because games would be so insanely boring if every character interaction was between straight, white, cis-het men, and no female character could ever pass the Bechdal Test.
Just like with movies and TV shows, I enjoy a variety of games that cover the entirety of the human experience. Why the fuck would I want to limit that??
Just as an alternate opinion, I found the actual card game itself, in Inscryption to be a bit shallow and bland. The most compelling part (of what I played, admittedly), was everything but the card game itself.
Your mileage may vary.
I will just say, if you’re expecting a deck builder card game like sts, you might be disappointed.
I’m not sure it’s the best rec for someone looking for another sts.
What Nihon Falcom accomplished with this game is unmatched. Trails in the Sky is, without question, the most expansive and intricate saga in JRPG history.
Alright, I don’t think this is true lol… Just an FYI, I’m generally defending you against the person here who apparantly really likes FF7 and really hates Trails games, but… Yeah I don’t think that’s “without question” at all. In fact, I myself am questioning it right now.
Are you me? Lol
