This is the game I didnt know that I have been waiting and hoping for. This is the kind of game that you can completely lose yourself, time becomes totally nonexistent. That hasnt happened to me since I was maybe 15 playing Final Fantasy 7, ( 24 years ago) Not that this game is anything like FF7. But what caught my eye was the beautiful look of the game. The gameplay is super fun, and has such tight controls. What keeps this fun is how you get to play different characters each with their own unique skill tree and abilities and weapons. The story is really getting to me also, it makes you actually start to feel for these characters and the family. Has great visuals, sound atmosphere and just all around a spectacular game. I really applaud the developers on this one. You can tell this is made with love and they really put alot of thought and passion into creating this game. Highly recommend picking this one up!
Im a rougelike rookie, so Ive never really played a game like this before. But oh my god Im having alot of fun with it. It reminds me of playing zelda, final fantasy and metroid when i was a kid. The graphics and music are just spot on for this style. And so far this game seems really deep, lots of cool characters to play, and tons of gear, pets system that you can breed, and gear you can customize and things to grow. Its got alot going on and its just alot of fun all around. Ive been playing it for about the past 10 hours straight. Great work on this one. I'd reccomend this to anyone who grew up with a super nintendo.
I really wanna like this game. Don't get me wrong, Its a good game, and its almost a great one. First off, Im only about 25 hours in, and only lv 3. So it moves very slowly. That's kinda a good thing in some ways. Feels like it makes you really work for things. Your choices in character build and development is crucial to even be able to play for more than 5 minutes without dying. I literally had to research the rule set and character builds for a few hours to even be able to play. Im a huge fan of Icewind dale, Baldurs gate, Pillars of eternity etc. This game is waaaaaay more strict to the tabletop rules than any of those. Maybe that's your thing. The game could be amazing if they'd just help you out a little more in the beginning. You can literally create a character and level them in ways that make it impossible to hit anything, and impossible to play. You really need to know the mechanics and the rules, or you'll just die and miss everything. And why the hell do you move so slow? That was one reason I loved Pillars so much, you can double time your walking speed. It feels like your walking in slow motion. I dont know, I really want to like it and Im going to keep on going hoping things progress a bit more. This game is not for the faint hearted, or uneducated! Very very difficult game if your new to tabletops D&D style games and rules.
What a spectacular game. I don't usually play metroidvania type games, but I havnt had this much fun since playing Metroid and Castlvania. The handling is most important in these types of games i think, and this one has nailed it. They perfected the controls and the feel, moving and jumping around is nice and tight. Combat is really fun too. Best of all is the atmosphere and art style, this game has such a unique look and its absolutley beautiful. The sound also enhances the experience perfectly. This game is a 10 out of 10
WOW, I really wish I could put into words how amazing this game is. Im going to start by saying if you are new to Knights of the Old Republic, dont waste another minute, go buy them both. We are talking about pure game perfection. The type of game that all developers strive to create their entire life. Although the first KOTOR game is great, this one is a total masterpiece. Gameplay and action is so smooth, story is spectacular, music, voice acting, this game takes everything to the next level of amazing. Can not reccomend it enough
I dont usually take the time to write reviews unless I really feel the game developer deserves it. Well, this is one of those rare occasions I feel they definitly do deserve a few minutes of my time to tell others how great of a game this is. First off, I'm only about 10-15 hours in. So maybe it all falls apart later, but so far i gotta say I'm super impressed, its just plain fun, the time totally disapears while your playing. The graphics are great, I love the style. The game seems to flow really well too, never seem to be lost or roaming endlessly. It keeps you with an objective. Which I fell is very important for an open world type game like this. The amount of possibilty in character creation and development is great. Its deep, lots of options. Lots of skills and professions to learn. The sounds and music are perfect, great ambience. Cant say enough good things so far. Considering I only spent a few dollars on sale for this game, I'd say it was one heck of a buy as I could see myself putting in hundreds of hours, yes I said hundreds. Multiple hundreds. For those who know nothing about this game imagine taking the turn based fighting style and character development of a baldurs gate. (minus controling multiple characters) then adding in a survival skills aspect where you manage your health, (eating and drinking, sickness, injurys etc) then mixing all that with Minecraft or Teraria. Thats Balrum Great job with this game.
Being a fan of the old school games like Baldurs gate and Icewind Dale, and a huge fan of the first Pillars of Eternity, I can honestly say this game was well worth the wait. Its a true gem in every way. If you liked the first Pillars then this will be an easy buy for you. You wont be disappointed. As far as people talking about bugs and not performing well on big gaming machines sporting gtx 1070 and 1080 cards, I say thats complete bogus. Im playing on a damn laptop, a Hp spectre x360 and it plays like a champ at 1920x1080 at medium to high settings. Havnt seen one bug, (so far) and the graphics are a huge upgrade from the first game. The amazing shadow and lighting are the first upgrade you'll notice. The explosions and particle effects are just beautiful. You can tell they poured every ounce of passion into the creation of this game. Bravo! The story is captivating, the new things added since part one like the ship and sailing around a big map are amazing. They added many new features that add a whole new level of fun. Cant say enough good things about this game. I absolutely love it. I say buy it without thinking twice.
So to start off, Im not really one for writing reviews. But I feel this game really deserves it. I grew up playing castalvania, metroid, mega man on the first nintendo. This game brings me right back to those days, its done really really well. The game mechanics are great. it handles well, there are plenty of weapons, spells and items as you progress through the game. You always feel like your moving forward, and being rewarded. The mix of humor and D&D rpg flavor is awesome for a game of this style. Im really having alot of fun playing this, for the few dollars I paid I feel its worth 10X that. I very highly recommend this game!
