I found it rather janky and just couldn't get into it despite really wanting another crpg to play. The camera controls and party movement just really felt awful for me. I'm also not super familiar with pathfinder and the last exposure I had with it I was playing Kingmaker which wasn't a bad game, but also I sorta didn't find it the most enjoyable thing. I bounced off WotR in the tutorial. Compared to BG3 where the combat encounters were still basic through the tutorial on the nautiloid they were peppered in enough for me to grow accustomed to the combat while also giving me space, in the start of WotR you're running down some caves with bugs attacking you every 50 feet or so and even then the combat felt like it had no weight. After the caves, the idea that there's a maze waiting for me and it's probably full of more lackluster combat encounters but it's also a maze just made me peace out.

I enjoyed WotR, but didn’t finish it. I found it a bit repetitive, loads of trash fights and just overall longwinded. I was really enjoying the story and after quite a few hours of combat I found the actual gameplay a chore that just got in the way of enjoying more story! It doesn’t help that after finding the buffs and debuffs and strats that worked I found it very rinse and repeat. Not a particularly stimulating experience as by the end my main decision point was just deciding whether or not to break out some of the spicier spells abilities for this particular encounter or to save them for later. I feel like it should be more than that, as pathfinder has so much complexity, but the situational “frog based attack that does more damage to homesick enemies who are also dehydrated” spell is less useful than the “makes enemies take more fire damage”+”fireball” combo, and sure sometimes you find yourself in an area of enemies that are “immune to fire” and that’s annoying for the first encounter, but you just adjust your spells to “the same but with ice” and continue unaffected.

I was really enjoying WotR but sometime in the third act it started to feel like a bit of a slog and I haven't returned to it yet. I really didn't enjoy the homm style tactical battles and resource logistics management thing.

No, i liked it at first but i felt the party characters to be boring and uninteresting in a way that was supposed to be good but they tried too hard and result was opposite. This is dealbreaker to me in RPG so i didn't played very far.

I also don't like pathfinder.
