Critic Reviews for Talisman
A digital version of a classic board game that is fun though it doesn't change much
Talisman is a classic board game, and deserves respect for that. It's also eminently playable to this day, and very easy to pick up and play; it's a genuinely good game for lazy Sundays with friends. But it's also not the perfect game, nor is this port the perfect port. And sadly that means that Talisman on PlayStation 4 won't win over a new generation of fans to the game.
Talisman offers an enjoyable fantasy-battling experience that board game fans are sure to enjoy, though its dependence on luck and its emphasis on offering DLC content might leave a sour taste with some players. Don’t get me wrong, there’s enough content included in the base game to keep you entertained, but it’s noticeable that there’s a lot missing. Thankfully, with its accessible setup and enjoyable gameplay mechanics, there’s still plenty of fun to be had with Talisman – especially when played with a group of friends. Just cross your fingers and hope that you’ll be the player who is lucky with the dice…
