I've played a bunch solo which is a lot quicker but more isolated. The "prefered" way is to play with 2-4 players for sure. Still I got a good 40ish hours out of it by my own.
how does this compare to the physical boardgame? Less screentime is always something that I want in my life, but the boardgame version doesn't seem like something one would easily pick up
Its a huge board game. I hate to be one of those “the book is better” folks - but I think a lot of what Gloomhaven brings is in the players themselves.
Though as something thats probably much less of a time commitment - you lose one thing, gain another!

Had a blast with this on PC and got some friends into the board game-style genre due to it.

How would you say the game is playing solo? Or is it something that can only be fully enjoyed when playing with others?

Sure, I am not going to play it any time soon, but saved your comment, whenever I do start and need any assistance, will let you know. 😀

that's about what I thought, thanks!
maybe worth checking out the video game version then, as a sort of demo for the real thing
