Beware ! Not a real Royal Edition upgrade !!!

First of all, the game is too difficult throughout the entire game, but especially early, and if you are unfamiliar with Pathfinder 1.0 system (and this game does not even have a good guide). But the game is STILL really good (and I would have given a 4 or a 5 star even with the difficulty problem; btw, I bought the game when it was just released, and I've even encountered a werewolf [you need a +1 weapon to hit it] within an hour after I started traveling; things are nowhere that bad after the patch, but this game is still pretty tough overall)
But Pathfinder: Kingmaker only gets a 2/5 stars because:
The kingdom builder is just tedious, time-consuming, and unbearably long with multiple loading times; there should be an option that automatically wins all events, but instead, you get an option that disables the kingdom management, but all the perks of it are gone too! (and some of the essential storyline and rare items will be completely missed if you disable kingdom management!).
And last but not least, the time required to complete a mission can severely limit the ability for the player to enjoy a free open world; I mean, if there are only 1-2 mission(s) going on then iit's totally fine, but more often than not you need to complete 3-5 missions within a certain time, and while managing the super-confusing to understand, tedious, ardulously long kingdom-management, this time clock based missions are just plain stressful. And sometimes, you have to complete mini-missions to just find the location (then later, fight a near-impossible fight or find a super obscure clue to solve a problem).
Overall, without any of these fatal flaws, this game would have been a 5/5 star game. But the flaws are just impossible to ignore, and it does drag down the entire experience of the game in the worst way possible.
Really fun game for anyone wanting something like Baldurs gate but less boring. It feels a lot more free and open and it can definitely be hard but was a very good experience. Loved it throughout and early on I hear it had a lot of bugs which probably is why the scores are low but give it a chance if you like this genre as it's really awesome.
