Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition

After two years game is still bugged, for the last 4 hours i was fighting with a bug that prevents further game play. I can`t save game or rather i can save game but after reloading the game there are no saves. Sorry but after 2 years it is a disgrace. It is a shame because at first everything was perfect - story, graphics, music and mechanics,

Don't let the negative reviews fool you - this review refers to the latest (as of 2020.10) version, where all game-breaking flaws and bugs have been addressed. This game is simply great for people who love cRPGs derived from pnp rulesets (D&D anyone?) and are ready for something which has added facets of difficulty. It's visually stunning, with the greatest isometric graphics I've seen in such games. Extremely well drawn. The characters are diverse, and some outright funny and evil. You can play it any way you want - there are ample moral choices and decisions to make, even though the main storyline is linear. And the gameplay, attacking and combat system (at least the one based on pausing that I prefer) works wonders. On another note, it comes with flaws (even with the major issues having been addressed). It's certainly not a walk in the park - and is based heavily on the pathfinder ruleset, so the ones with little knowledge will learn it the hard way. It also doesn't take you by the hand. Swarms will render your weapons useless early on. Demons will decimate you - unless you modify your spellbook accordingly. And quite often, you'll find that the entire party is getting beaten and you don't know why. I consider this annoying, but - in a way - part of the game. Read the combat logbook. Find what went wrong. Read the tips - and load and try again. Don't expect to be able to just cut through the game with your basic weapon; many fights need strategy, and quite a bit of luck as well. The major flaw for me is that sometimes it's too RNG-heavy. There are too many dice rolls - and some difficult ones early on. The kingdom minigame is also full of unneeded rolls and waiting times that get frustrating. You'll find yourself loading and retrying perhaps too often. Despite these flaws, though, I consider kingmaker to be one of the best cRPGs I've played recently; it deserves its spot next to major titles, such as NWN2, BG, pillars and Divinity. Well worth getting!

The game is good in start mid game but too much bugs in late game.

I read many bad comments about this game, apparently due to a lot of bugs/issues at the beginning. I had the chance to play it later (v2.1.5d), and it's clearly an amazing RPG game. I think I did not played such a good game since 1990's (despite of some other good games like Baldur) - The turn based system is just the best I ever played. I hope the next Pathfinder game will keep at least this part with NO changes at all (please) - The level up system is also really a pleasure - The quality of dialogs, OMG, in french, it's just unbelievable Really, congrats to the studio who developped and offered us this game, cannot wait for the next opus

the game isn't difficult at all once you understand the ruleset. it even felt too easy. companions are the most generic i've ever come across in a crpg and their quests are not interesting at all kingdom management is boring and annoying. made me lose all interest in the game after like 20 hours. i kept on playing but my enjoyment decreased hours after hours so i gave up after like 25 hours maybe. i wanted to play a crpg, not a managerial simulation. it's too linear and railroading: - those stupid main quest timers are the most unecessary thing in the game. it feels like the developers wanna force you to go through the main quest and you have no choice. - the map is huge but you can't go anywhere you want because the developers decided that it was a great idea to make it railroading. you unlock new regions as you go along. what a fantastic railroading idea! you can't explore more that you would like because you are stopped by giant magical and invisible walls. developers: wanna explore more? good, DO THE MAIN QUEST. i hate being forced in a crpg. it's a huge turnoff for me, i felt like i was playing a bland and generic final fantasy game at some point.
