The digital adaptation of the current top-rated board game on BoardGameGeek Gloomhaven was announced about a year ago, and it is now available on Steam Early Access. For strategy gamers, it may seem like a no-brainer. If that many people like the tabletop version that much, and we can get a digital version for less than a quarter of the price, then it should be worth it, right?
Well… maybe. If you’re like me, a person who has put hundreds of hours into the board game already, then Gloomhaven on PC has some distinct advantages: no need to carry that monster of a box around, no setup or takedown, and the addition of visual effects and sound. But if you’ve been interested in the board game and want to try this out to see if you like it, you might be better off waiting for more features.
