I was introduced to the world of Gloomhaven on tabletop (for a more complete review of the tabletop version, I recommend you read around). I loved it so much that I bought this--an incredible adaptation of the board game. I wasn't expecting much more than a digital port, and would've been happy with just that for the ability to play virtually, but wow is this worth it!

The graphics, music, and battle animations are epic enhancements. There's also something freeing about having the card calculations done for you. It lets you focus solely on enjoying the gameplay itself--and there's enjoyment aplenty! You can immerse yourself in this world and get totally lost venturing through it.

Bottom line: never have I had more fun playing a video game or board game than I have when playing Gloomhaven. It is phenomenal.


Note: in September 2023, a new studio took over this game and sadly broke it, including multiplayer; HOWEVER, if you and your party mates all play on the patch before that update, the game works without issue. Here's how: go to your Steam library > Gloomhaven > right click > Properties > Betas > "v28009 - v28009 - Pre-crossplay branch." This is the way.
