Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition

Not gonna lie, there was a lot of bugs jus after relese, game need probably two or three patches to be fully polished, but hell, heven, elysium and abbys - its great game. 4/5 with bugs, easily 5/5 when they fix them. Damn, maybe even 10+/10 - mythic music scores are top of the top, companions are great and their stories interesting and engaging, and the feeling you have at the crucial moments of the game are just amazing, you chose your path, and creators know what you want from the experience, and they give you exactly that. I know that each mythic path is different, and between 10 of them and thousand of possible class/race builds experience can be a bit better or worse, but my Angel play-trough give ma a lot of satisfaction. If RPGs are your kind of a game - go for it!

Great until act 5 crusade mode. Even with the toybox mod it takes literal hours of "skip day" to build up your armies and skip through the crusade battles. Just an obnoxious waste of time.

This is a game that is held back by bugs, but if you look at my hours played- a staggering 170h in not even under a month- you'll see I found it more than worth my while despite them. **Strengths** - Amazing art (3D, Drawings, environments, music). Especially the music is memorable. - Absurd amount of customization and options for building your characters class + backstory, and RPing them - Many ways to express your character via consequences and dialogue - The Mythic Paths offer a lot of uniqueness I really loved - Interesting story that kept me entertained from start to finish (sometimes great, sometimes OK) - Voice actors do a fantastic job - Intensely challenging combat **Areas for improvement** - Bugs. I didn't run into game breaking ones, but it's clearly a game without polish. - Some puzzles are great, some puzzles are horrible - The challenge of the combat sometimes comes from poorly balanced encounters. Note: I always found a way to deal with them, but sometimes a boss' minions were tougher than the boss itself. - Pre-buffing is a necessity in this game, and can feel like a chore. I have nostalgia to help me get over this, but for people fond of say Pillars of Eternity, the long time spent on just prepping for fights may be off-putting. - Crusade mode, while immersive and fitting, is tactically extremely simple and offers little nuance. **Final reflections and verdict:** I have patience with games that set the bar high, and want a lot. You can tell Owlcat aims for the stars- and they almost get there. I adore this game and consider it as masterpiece. It is a game that will really, really click with some people and completely turn away others, I suspect. If you feel intrigued, despite the variance in reviews, I think this may be for you. But maybe wait a few months for the bugs to get fixed.

This and Kingmaker is the true good RPGs on the market right now. Not afraid to trust their players with challenging and complicating rules, great companions and replayability. Already on my second playthrough, this is great!

Game is unfinished and unplayable on Mac. Inventory system/panel doesn't open, the game lags (I have a high spec MacBook Pro M1)
