I played the campaign up until Drezen fight(then our party got derailed) in the Tabletop version, i can say it`s pretty much close to it.

After the first playthrough:
Pro:
- Great story ( main, secondary and companions plot)
- Complex class building
- Immersive universe
- Insane difficulty Core and above ( for those who love challenges)

Con:
- Frustrating bug but can be managed, i can be deal breaker for some but i found way to get around it and didn't bother me much after a while.
- Insane difficulty on core and above( for those who can`t redo a fight over and over and over and over again, yes sometime you need to have perfect rolls to get through it)
- Itemisation to restrictive ( can`t craft your own weapons and amor )
- Missing some pathfinder class and archetype ( looking at you gunslinger and foehammer)

For those who like min max character and want the Unfair Acheivement, you need to plan carefully because you can`t respect or change difficulty during your playthrough.
Unfair is really really hard and refreshing seeing that games can bring challenges since a lot of game now even on hard is easy.

On my playthrough i started at core for most of it, then custom for some tweaking then normal because well i wanted to enjoy the story with minor challenge and because my character didnt abuse buggy mechanic or was optimize for the campaign. Some fight are plain ridiculous where your main get killed with 2 or 3 attack. Tank if not fully optimize can have a hard time. Melee dps will struggle to hit things but will get back on track with later levels of mythic.

How i recommend to play this game:
- Normal mode for the first playthrough to enjoy the story, it`s plot twist and the game it self.
- Afterward you can check walkthrough to get those acheivement of higher level of difficulty and secrets because they are well hidden and you can pass them without even knowing.

Other tip: READ ALL THE DAMN PAGES AND BOOK YOU LOOT!

Overall minus the buggy part that is currently getting fix, impossible fight if not prepared and know the pathfinders mechanics and powerfull build, i would give it a 8.5, 9 once the game breaking bugs are gone.
