Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition

Seems like a good game so far putting 20 hours in. Character Customization itself takes 2 hours. I've had a lot of close fights with one of my guys standing. The way I played was real time combat until I start to lose then i switch to Turn base mode. There are also many mythic paths you can take which seems pretty interesting. It really kind of feels like BGII, except that there are some pretty long dialogues i just skip. It'd be cool if the devs implement coop play then i could like adventure with my buddies maybe.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous expanded on its predecessor in every possible way. The setting is much darker then fantasy kingdom building fairy tail that was Kingmaker, and you get introduced to it via a very brutal beginning. This is balanced by the fact that whole storytelling gets much more grandoise/epic and it's supported by a very heavy combination of choir and orchestral audio performence. It ties together VERY well in my opinion. Audio in general is absolutely amazing and I was surprised by the spacial sound design that I could hear in my headphones (for example music in the tavern actually comes from the band of bards that plays it). NPCs are much more interesting then they were in first game, (if anyone touches Ember I'll kill 'em! :) ). They actually have some entertaining backgrounds that you get to be a part of (for most of them). There are some boring quests but even those somehow tie to the world around them. They don't feel out of place for me. Graphically game went through a huge overhaul. Much better lighting, higher res textures, you can actually rotate the camera and view the battlefield and maps from all directions. Characters up close don't look too good though, but you are meant to view the game from isometric perspective and the game does this well. Also performence is better then in Kingamaker - loadings are actually fast, I think that save files are also smaller and I get high GPU usage and high frames which was not the case in Kingmaker. Storywise I feel invested. I actually got chills when I got to first experience mythic abilites when near the Wardstone (no spoilers) and even though it was a read heavy experience the music kept me sooo interested and invested! There are some minor bugs (although some other people are experiencing more annoying ones) that aren't worth mentioning. I definietly reccomend! You can always return it with GOG policy within 30 days. But If you are a fan of cRPGs I doubt you'll want to. :)

Like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Russian tanks, this game seems to break down half way through. A complete buggy mess. I will update my review once they sort out the gamebreaking bugs.

I love this game The deep story, hundreds of gameplay hours, no grind, replayability, tactical battles on the world map, unique game experience and so one and so forth. I thought devs won't surprise me after kingmaker, but they did. It is still Pathfinder, but different one The only thing is performance. This game saves its progress to zipped json files, which is text and slow on hdd. You want it fast? Buy SSD Oh, and it's done by Pathfinder tabletop so sometime it's ruthless to the player. Magic is powerful, some battles are crazy - if you don't have enough level/didn't plan carefully characters development, you have no chances. There are a lot of builds boosting different aspects of party characteristics, and they really do the trick Resuming, this game is the rare gem ps Midnight Isles are not that creepy as the house at the edge of time, but still one of my favorite locations :)

I gave Kingmaker a 7/10; it was good but nothing more. This one is WAY BETTER, and in almost every aspect. The graphics is beautiful, music is top notch, voiceacting is very good, dialogues are well written, companions are distinct and have strong personalities, story is rich and engaging. Tutorials, so necessary for a game with complicated systems, are finally done well, though I feel like character creator should still be explained much better, but at least you have free respecs if you screw something up. User experience is vastly improved, managing items, informing you what doesn't stack with what, camping, looting, personal quests... there are improvements all around. Mythic paths are awesome and even though this game is very long, I am considering replaying it just to try another one. Turn - based combat system is very good and even though I preferred the one in Divinity: OS2, its invaluable if you want to learn the combat mechanics well. Very customizable difficulty level, while not new, seems to be a perfect design choice for that kind of game. For me, the overall experience was almost pure fun. Almost. The crusading part, while a lot less irritating than realm management in Kingmaker, is pretty uninspiring and it detracts from fun a little bit. Character creation is still overwhelming as all get out and isn't explained a whole lot better than it was in Kingmaker. And game optimalization is a bit off too, consuming a lot of system resources and even though my laptop punches way above recommended specs, I have experienced slowdowns and missed frames here and there. I'm pretty sure it's because of Unity engine, since I had the exact same feeling with Wasteland 3. Overall, I am impressed with this game. I would place it between Divinity: OS2 and Wasteland 3 in my personal favourite list. If you like cRPG's - it's a no-brainer. If you like good story - get it. Heck, if you haven't enjoyed Kingmaker you may still like this one. For me, it's a well deserved 9/10.
