Solid Visual Novel/Point/Click Hybrid
In The Pillars of the Earth each scene you have to solve a puzzle which will be your typical fare of using something in your inventory on the screen or combining items. After each puzzle scene there is dialogue in which you will be making dialogue choices. The puzzle parts are usually pretty straight forward but there is the odd time where I could see what they wanted from me but the solutionboggled my mind and didn’t seem logical. The visual novel parts were well done. The game did a good job of not making the choices black and white or good/evil. Some choices are timed where more important ones are not. At the end of each chapter you get a summary of your choices and some of the outcomes. If I have one gripe about the game was the story itself. It was pretty dry at times The ending was a bit different from what I was hoping as things seemed to go a bit darker before settling into a more typical happy ending. The animations, art and voice acting were well done The game required a file, “libpng12.so”, that wasn’t shipped with the game and after installing that the game started just fine. It opened on the wrong monitor. There was no config file I could find to specify which monitor to use and no in game option for it. Alt-Tab worked just fine. You can manually save whenever you want and there are checkpoints for those who don’t want to. While playing the game my total system RAM usage was 3GB, the total CPU usage was around 7% and my VRAM usage was 1.1GB. There were no graphics options besides resolution. I played using version 1.1.703 of the game from GOG. Overall whether you enjoy visual novels or 2D point and click games I can recommend The Pillars of the Earth. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel but it is very enjoyable for the majority of the playthrough and is solid on both fronts. I paid $13.99 CAD for it My Score: 7/10 My System: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | 16GB DDR4-3000 | MSI RX 580 8GB | Mesa 19.1.4 | Manjaro 18.0.4 | Kernel 5.2.8-1-MANJARO
