There’s one overriding comparison people make about Solasta 2 and that’s it looks a lot like Baldur’s Gate 3 – which to be fair, it does. It’s Dungeons & Dragons, isometric-ish, party-based and turn-based. It’s even got some of the same voice actors in it (Amelia Tyler, the narrator from Baldur’s Gate 3; and Devora Wilde, who played Lae’zel). Glance from one game to the other and they could be the same, and if you’re a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3, which millions of people are, that’s exciting. I expect it’s a major reason Solasta 2 has 500,000 Steam Wishlists. Some of the glow from Baldur’s Gate 3 has spilled over. But comparisons are tricksy things, thorny with expectation, and – as I discovered talking to the Solasta 2 studio ahead of the game’s early access release tomorrow (Thursday 12th March) and from playing the game myself – there are important distinctions between the games to make.
