Playing it now and am impressed too. Combat is not as fluid as in Pillars of Eternity but it’s somewhat compensated by a more traditional abilities, e.g. my fighters don’t do much except fighting. It’s also seems to be very forgiving as you can use every item from your inventory and you use it to fight bullshit like those swarm enemies. The game is also not afraid to vary challenge: a dungeon room with enemies I can fight may contain, say, traps that none of my characters can dispose of.
In general right now it feels more like anything goes kind of RPG, not an experience balanced from strategic point of view. Maybe this is how you have to approach all of those tabletop system games unless they’re clearly dungeon crawlers.
