HPMemecraft Gloomhaven Review

A truly awful gaming experience. I understand that this is supposed to be a challenging game but you actually have to have UI in the game to make informed decisions on your next move. Since initiative is always changing arbitrarily per round, you can't plan out any chains of actions. On top of all that, the UI is glitchy, transparent or doesn't bother to show up so you never get to know if that any attack has the ability to fail/succeed with modifiers since that UI screen never stays up and then it never tells you any information of note. Annoying enough is that they want you to grind every encounter and dungeon which is unbearable since everything needs some overly lengthy animation you're stuck watching waiting for the thing to finish. After the 10 mobs on screen are finally done grunting and moving you try to bring up a screen of all the actions you want to go through. This is then compounded by how slow it does everything. Literally getting this game to do anything is like pulling teeth. No need to slowly show each thing that's happening one-by-one you can program it all to happen in batches but because it's so poorly optimized at everything what should take 10 seconds, now takes 2 minutes. There is nothing this game can give in rewards that is worth playing through how needlessly taxing this game is at your patience.
