Great concept and execution – Pathfinder Adventures Review

First of all, I love the DnD theme in general, so this review may be a bit flawed. I've gotten through the first three encounters on medium difficulty, and I'm still enjoying this game a ton. One problem I've seen starting off is the clunkiness of the encounter system. Although I eventually have come to deal with it, it still bugs me how some people may quit the game early due to the slow tutorial and awkward encounters. Another problem I still have is the annoyance of having to discard my entire hand each card separately if I make a bad roll. It's annoying how there isn't a "Discard All" function (that I'm aware of), as it makes the action of doing so just... shameful. The grind is also somewhat annoying; I've tried saving up for another character since I started, and I'm still a few hundred off. It may just be my not getting the second set of encounters, but it's annoying at least for me that I have to invest 400 gold to get back my money's worth in somewhat of a long period of time or save up for a new character though beating legendary mode (it's probably apparent that I'm free to play).Maybe making beaten encounters still give off some reward, albeit a much smaller reward, for beating them again would make the grind at least somewhat less taxing. Overall I love the aesthetic of the game and enjoy it a ton as my go-to time-spender for when I'm bored and feel like getting a crack at beating a dragon. Definitely recommend it to any DnD lover, but also to everyone in general.
