Who doesn't like board games, or card games, or TTRPGs? Whether you only like just one of those, or all of them, this "game" does what it says on the tin. It, itself, is not a game. It's a table. It is about as close to sitting at an actual table with a group of friends as you can get when you're all online and scattered across the city, or country, or even across the world.

It even works great as a way to workshop your own card or board game ideas, simulate actual play scenarios and work out all the kinks before spending time and money producing any physical pieces.

Outstanding visuals, beautiful soundtrack and engaging gameplay with a great story. This game is the complete package. Would definitely recommend, and will be playing again. Also very much looking forward to the sequel.

Good music, good rhythm, and actually a decent "battle ropes" type of workout with more predictable and smooth movements than something more frantic like Beat Saber.

This is by far the most accurate recreation of the "sitting around the table with some friends, playing some D&D" feel of any D&D-like game I've ever played. It's even more accurate when you're on Discord or Steam Voice Chat with some friends, all playing in the campaign together.

I love all the original Baldur's Gates, Icewind Dales, Planescapes, Neverwinter Nights, even the old gold box classics. But none of them really put D&D front and center, it was more like borrowing the themes/settings for a video game.This is like playing D&D on a virtual tabletop (something like Tabletop Simulator, or TaleSpire) with animated minis and spell effects, taken to a whole new level.

Granted it's not 100% as open ended as actual D&D, it is a defined campaign, and there are limited races, classes and subclasses by default (something I fully expect mods to cover, if Larian doesn't eventually add them all in, themselves).

If Larian adds the build-a-campaign mode that they have in Divinity Original Sin 2, I can absolutely see this becoming the ideal go-to virtual tabletop for anyone looking to play D&D 5e, whether with official adventure modules and campaigns, or wholly homebrewed. The only way to one-up that would be giving us a way to homebrew new classes, feats, spells, and equipment (I expect mods will cover some, but having an official way built into the game would be ideal, even if it's just re-skinning and stat-tweaking existing items/spells/etc. ie: there's already a flaming sword, so let's make the flames sparks of electricity crawling along the blade and add shock damage instead of fire damage. Boom, homebrewed thundersword.)

How have I not reviewed this yet?!

I mean, what else can be said that hasn't already been said? If you don't already have this game, you owe it to yourself to get it. Get it now. Play it. And know that everyone who has played it before you will be envious that you, fair unicorn of a person that has never played Portal before, that you get to experience Portal for the first time.

Edit to add that I have now played through this again, on the Steam Deck and on the Nintendo Switch. The updated UI is a fantastic update, bringing it up to Portal 2 polish, and it plays great on-the-go. You can turn the TDP and GPU almost all the way down on the Steam Deck and still get 60 fps all day, and somewhere around 5-5.5 hours of battery life. And Portal 2 doesn't require much more, either. Portable Portal is *chef's kiss*

I don't know why I waited so long to get this. I've wanted a "road trip simulator" for ages, and I love racing games. Kind of smacking myself upside the head for just passing this one up for the last couple of years. You can fast travel to the events, if you really want, but I'm having a blast just driving and/or flying cross-country to get to them.

Just... stunning. It's not Half-Life 3, and that's ok. This is something different, and incredible on it's own merit. If you don't already have a VR kit, this game is worth it. If this is any indication of what VR games will be coming in the near future, it's a very exciting time, indeed.

If you have any VR device, even an Oculus, get this and use it. It's as close to a universal VR platform as we have currently. Beta participation can be hit or miss, but it's generally been my preferred use, I like it being as up-to-date as possible. Worst case scenario if something breaks while I'm on beta, it's a simple change to go back to the non-beta client.
