Early Access Review
Great start for early access. My impressions are mostly good with a few things I wish were a bit better.

The good:
-Models are good
-Core game play from the board game is there. To me, they have done a good job capturing the "soul" of Gloomhaven
-----For both the above points, I hope they add to it. More of everything kind of deal. A bit more immersion, a bit more polish on
the model art, flesh out the UI and just overall continue to improve on what is there now.
-Looks like it will vary a bit from the board game, this is good for me. I already have the physical game, would be nice to have the -PC game offer something a bit extra or different. As long as the core is there that is the important thing for me.
-Looks like they will have a nice polished product when finished. Hopefully one that is easy to tack on mods/DLC/others to make the game one that can last

Complaints I've seen so far:
1. No multiplayer... read before buying, they have said it comes later, still EA
2. No tutorial... read before buying, it's coming, still EA
3. No modifier decks.. This is incorrect, it might not be supper easy to see, but the rolls/deck pulls are happening
4. Too long just to get to EA.. This is just subjective and a meaningless complaint
5. Only able to play with two characters.. True for now, but options are shown for bigger and different parties. Just locked, you know, EA...
6. More mindless verbal masterb***** of folks complaining about an early access game that is well, an early access to a full release..

Real issues:
1. Pacing. I hope they figure out how to get the game flowing a bit faster. One of the draws of a PC version (for me) is not having to set the game up and for the game to flow faster. As of now, it is not much faster than playing Gloomhaven on TTS or the physical game with using tracker apps.
2. Ran into an early bug (its going to happen in EA). After leveling Brute to level 2 and picking juggernaut card, game errors loading the next dungeon with an error about not able to initialize the deck/hand.
3. Hopefully they bring in the customization (or maybe even new ones) to set your classes up at the start. At this point I do not know if they will or not, but it is not there now.
