Solasta Crown Of The Magister Cons:

So much to take in, even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre.
Character models look robotic and kinda off-putting in the character creator.
The character creator is lacking in a lot of areas for choice.
Slow loading times.
Only one campaign but new ones are coming.
No controller support.
Slow pace to it all.
Dead eyes and mouth movement seem out of sync in cutscenes.
Controls take some getting used to.
Text is very small and no settings are available.
Changing any settings will shut the menu down.
Alt-tabbing messes up the screen size.
Constant camera control is fiddly.
With so much to do, you can easily miss something or struggle to find what you want.
