It's Another World with vastly simplified gameplay and worse graphics.

For $2 it's worth it, but $20? lolnope

It's cute but insanely overrated. Calling this "one of the best games of all time" as the games media seems to is like calling your friend's student film the next Citizen Kane.

I have Talisman with all expansions (got the Season Pass quite some time ago, then added the digital only expansions, I only miss a few "legendary" decks updates and such).
I don't know about consensus, but it's a fun port.
The AI is what it is I suppose, I don't think something much too clever is realistic anyway given the combined complexity of all the characters, the powers, the cards, the expansions and so on.

BUT, I don't think the AI should be perfect, either.
If you played with friends I guarantee you sub-optimal choices would be made all the time around the table.
So all in all it can be fun anyway, and honestly you don't play Talisman as a Chess substitute but because it's a cauldron of fantasy things and crazy stuff tends to happen in games.

Commendable of them for not bitching out. I remember when Humble Bundle recalled Call of Cthulhu keys when there was a price mistake, for example.

Have you tried Origins and if you have is it better or worse than the original?

That might be because it hurts HB's image to admit they fucked up. I remember that once they applied a discount on HOMMV and its expansions on Steam (that is, directly on Steam) and it ended up giving a negative price. I "bought" them and still have them on my library. This was years ago too.

No I haven't tried that.
Isn't it a smaller game?

I don't know anything about it,that's why I am asking

ok sorry, hopefully half of the picture will still be useful
I do think it's a smaller game anyway. I don't think there are expansions and all the rest for Origins
