Kinda Boring
I feel like its not really that intresting. It's pretty boring to play. It's okay, but, its hard to get into.

Garbage
Boring lore, bad combat, bad graphics. I love BG2, IWD series and Tyranny but this game is bad just like POE 1.

Much better than first game
POE2 is RPG that we don't see very often lately , designed at its core to be computer version of pen and paper roleplaying game , and that itself gives this game high rating just for beeing a gem among stupidity of modern dumb console gamepad friendly action types of "RPG's" that polluted the earth. Worth to mention - this game feeds on nostalgia, there is no doubt about it , fans of Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale or even Planescape Torment, can find home in POE world . But this is a good thing, I rather see clones of great games than something i could barely call an RPG . Couple of things i really hate in POE2 . The World - I'm not big fan of Fantasy world where you cannot tell in which real world era game is set . Couple of examples, if you see Conan, that is ancient era type of Fantasy, if you see Lord of the Rings, that is Middleages world type of Fantasy, Medieval times with magic ,dragons etc . What is POE2 than ? I HAVE NO IDEA . It's like you take typical Fantasy world and throw it into 17th18th century colonial times mixed with Fantasy Medieval Era . Bows, Knights... Pirates, Guns... Elves,Druids...Cannons,Machines, Colonial type of town with fairly modern spanish carribean architecture ... all of the sudden dun dun 11th century CASTLE guarded by a dragon :P The Combat - it has been proven on multiple occasions, turn based combat works much better in highly complicated games with insane ammount of abilities . But yet again, they HAVE to make combat similar to old cRPG's like Baldurs Gate becouse that is their main audience . However there is option to set combat in slow motion which really helps so we dont have to spam spacebar every 0,5 second to catch a grip on what is going on . Aside from some problems, gaming world would be much better place with RPG's like POE2 as standard.

Very Disappointing
I've absolutely loved Pillars of Eternity, so I'm surprised how little there is to like about Deadfire, while there is so much more DLC content for it. The artwork and graphics have taken a huge step backward in quality. The soundscape has become less cinematic and more VR, meaning you miss important lines, while being forced to listen to dull exposition. The voice acting has become very patchy, and the worst candidate is sadly the new narrator, who reads the text painfully slowly, and with slightly less emotional inflection than most contemporary text-to-speech algorithms. The PC voicing gives a number of choices, most of which seem inappropriately named, and none of which are significantly different from one another in any way other than the sex of the actor. The UI has had a similar detail drop, while the UX has been made considerably more complex, and less intuitive. Impressive, when the original UI was largely tables of figures and stats! I found the combat mechanics in the original a little too complex for my taste, and mostly let the AI complete the fights for me, just making sure I don't start a fight till my party will win ... Now encounters level with you, and the AI needs micro-managing, so I always come close to a wipe, but the combat mechanics have gotten a lot more tedious, along with random encounters being forced on you out of nowhere. A whole resource management system is added. (not fun) The main quest is less engaging than Skyrims' Dragonborn quest. (which I rarely peruse) The already tedious loading times have lengthened, and become more frequent, being inserted between the many UI switches, most of which require a couple of clicks before switching to the next UI and incurring another long loading screen. So far, I haven't found companions I want for more than cannon-fodder, and don't care to side with any faction. If you just want to micro-manage combat, and run off NVME, this is probably an upgrade? Vanity pets have stats boosts now! Yay!?

Solid "C+"
POE2's story was lacking so it made reaching the end a tiring slog. I liked Tyranny which brought me to give POE2 a try even though I did not like POE1. If you concur with me so far, here is my personal list of similar RPG's of the genre you can try. #1 Pathfinder: WOTR (wish it had FULL voice acting) #2 Expeditions: Rome (Terrible army management/battles) #3 Wasteland 3 #4 Tyranny (I enjoyed the story, but gameplay is lacking, lots of reading) #5 POE2: (Terrible naval/ship battles) I could not get into Divinity so no comment.
