Color me underwhelmed. It looks like a pretty run of the mill, third person action game with the "Dungeons and Dragons" name tacked on to try and drum up purchases. The dark magic wielding swords-woman is a great starting point, but I wasn't sure where the combat ended and quick time events started. The entire "fight" with the gazer looked like a scripted QTE sequence. The fight with the undead ogre and associated attackers (ghouls, maybe?) looked better. Though the end of that fight seemed to go back to QTE for the "finish him" sequence. Hopefully, I'm wrong and this turns out to be another great D&D game. But, it's mostly just making me think about breaking out Baldur's Gate 3 again.
