Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

I loved Baldurs Gate (1 and 2) and also liked very much the first Pillars of Eternity, but this one in my opinion is a big step behind. Yes the graphic is very nice (better then the first Pillars) but the game is mediocre, the story is just... boring. Also the game is not very well balanced, you'll soon feel a demi-god crushing everybody and everything (at least at normal difficulty) with some absurd very high spikes of difficulty (like the end of Beast of Winter). Wait a very cheap price if you really want to play it. Avoidable.

The combat of this game is fun, the graphics and the effects are good. But the story and the amount of dialogues, and the quality of the dialogues also, can bore you to death. Like I saw someone saying in another website "the writing in this game is like reading a wikipedia's article"; it sums it up. No, I do not recommend.

great game :) I love it

Sick

What it says on the tin. Absolutely love the world building, characters, rpg stuff - awesome. 5/5. The stuttering, frame rates etc on a powerful rig are abysmal. Tried several tips from the internet (reducing cpu core count artificially, windowed mode, no ambient occlusion, fixed frame rate, no v-sync, nvidia control panel setup....) - no such luck. Either you live with the stuttering in what is otherwise a beautifully crafted world or you miss out on an amazig game. No easy choice. As for Avowed: Def buy if the tech works out. Will wait for reviews on this.
