When you’re playing with three other people, session includes 1.5h of watching others make their moves. It’s not a problem when you’re sitting around the board of the original Talisman game, chatting and laughing, but it doesn’t work too well in a computer game. Otherwise it’s a great adaptation.

As a game that endures precisely because of its easygoing, laughable nature, Talisman is far from ideal.

Monopoly with monsters – what can be better than that? Well, turns out, pretty much everything else.

Great game for family and friends. A great time is guaranteed for the next 2 days, and not only thanks to the variety of DLC, the game is replayable. I rate it 8 out of 10 fairy wands

Talisman is a great game that I enjoy playing with my friends. With all expansions, and friends that you can talk with you can spend hours on it and enjoy it.

It's astonishing how boring and badly designed Talisman is. I've played the tabletop version of Talisman before and always thought it was an awful game. I love boardgames, have dozens of them, but Talisman... It takes the features of games like Monopoly and other trail games and try to entice you with a mildly interesting (though generic) fantasy setting - but the truth is: it remains as boring, flawed and outdated as Monopoly itself. The game may drag for hours and hours without an ending in sight, stalemates aren't rare and everything is about randomness. There's no skill involved playing in Talisman, all you can do is try to push your luck in a general direction and pray for the best. I understand why a game like this would be popular 20 or 30 years ago, but today we have plenty of better board (and digital) games to play. Maybe *huge* fans of Mario Party would enjoy playing digital Talisman (or old fans of the original iteration feeling nostalgic), but I just can't recommend this game to anyone else. You want to play "digital boardgames" on your PC? Try Smallworld, Ticket to Ride or anything else, but stay away from Talisman.

Charming and true to the source: The digital Talisman is no fancy interpretation but an authentic port of the board game with all its rules.

In 2020 it's a pretty good game with Discord friends and DLC-s. I have 300h+ in this game and still happy of it.

Absolutely incredible experience. I love every one of the four hours that I played the game with my good friends! My favorite part was where the hag followed me for half the game and got rid of my gnome. Phenomenal game-play, I would recommend this game over other greats such as Kayne and Lynch:Dog Days, or Unturned.

I've never played the original board game. In my first game I was a warrior. I used a sword and an axe at the same time. I learned a little magic. I killed a dragon. A wizard turned me into a toad. A druid stole all my stuff. A troll killed everyone of us. Very good game. If you like board games and movies like the Lord of the Rings, there is a good chance you will like this game. An extra tip: When you play against the computer, increase the speed of the AI to spend less time waiting for your turn.

Well I wasn't expecting something awesome, but after half hour my interest changed into bitterness. A lots of classes is what I really liked about this game. A different options of game style can keep you even in most boring games for a long period of time. But after I discovered how the dice works the fate of this game was forever sealed for me. You will mostly get 1 to 3 on normal rolls and when you roll 1 next roll will be 4. When you roll 2 next roll wil be 5 and same with 3 and 6. The problem is that mostly your opponent gets those good rolls and until you use fate you are screwed. Besides of the evil dice you get a lot of bugs like getting stuck after spell failure because you press some key on the keyboard and there is nothing you can do except for quiting the game. Your raft won't work, your items and so on ... and I experienced this in about 2 hours ... so you can make a picture.

The bugs kill the fun. Playing for three hours, only to be slaughtered by a puny sky screecher (the equivalent of being savaged to death by an earth worm) is pretty awful. It's an old bug, it's a known bug. You can't save the game and avoid it somehow either. If it's going to be in the game, it will always win, regardless of that it's stats say - which means the AI will try and battle it anyway. Also the new shapeshifter character will crash the game if it's in play. I recommend choosing characters as a work around. There's no proper way to debug this game either - there's no debug report that I can generate, I can't upload a buggy saved game to illustrate a problem. I think that's often a problem with coding now - quality control is generally shoddy, because the pressure is on to rush it out and fix it later- maybe - maybe not.
