Talisman: Origins (Classic)

Patently miserable. You're the kid 1v1ing yourself in chess in the corner with this, and you paid to do it. I suppose I'm glad I got it as part of a bundle, it wouldn't be worth full price for the game alone.

This game just makes me feel lonely and like I have no friends. It reminds me of when I was young and used to play Magic the Gathering against myself because no one in my neighborhood played (ice age). I never want to feel that way again.

A fun way to learn Talisman while getting the lore behind this beloved tabletop veteran.

Some jank, but overall a really fun adaptation of Talisman to a singleplayer title. Very niche, but very comfy.

The RNG here is ridiculous. The other TALISMAN game is fantastic, it led me to buying the board game and the expansions. THIS version, I don't know how it's even in the same universe.

Depending on the scenario, or if the stars align, Talisman: Origins can be a fun and relaxing singleplayer experience. Sadly, more often than not, this is not the case. Between the bugs, terrible design decisions, and infuriating RNG, you might end up having to retry scenarios countless times just to finish them, not to speak of getting achievements. Some tasks require you to draw cards that are so deep inside the deck it takes hundreds of turns to get to them. Others require very specific dice rolls in succession. And even if everything is just right, you might just be glitched out of an objective. Many objectives are badly or insufficiently described, and there really aren't any guides out there to help you. Game is also excruciatingly slow. I played it at x2 or even x3 speed with a speedhack, but speeding it up too much risks triggering a bug where the game stops to think for increasingly long periods of time. It can even end up never finishing this process. All in all, it can fun at times, but overall I can't recommend it. At best, get it on a big sale like I did.

It's pretty bare bones, but it's fun to play.

If you enjoy playing Talisman but don't have anyone to play with, its a great alternative. it sucks that I wasn't able to get the DLCs before they delisted the game.

Fajna.
