Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition

Great story, lackluster combat!

For starters, I enjoyed finishing the game. However, the game has its flaws. First of all the combat system is a mix of real time and turn based. It is basically turn-based, but when you turn on the AI, it's real-time that can be paused. However the battle AI really sucks in this game, sorry to say. AI controlled characters will not use scrolls, figurines or even switch weapons and thus will not make use of an enemy's weaknesses. To finish the game without relying on AI controlled characters feels kind of tedious. Just make it either turnbased like Divinity Original Sin or make it hack and slash like an ARPG. Also the loot system could use with some iprovement, add an extra loot tier perhaps. The story is topnotch and you won't see anyone complaining about that. You can see that the game has high production values: little to no bugs, well-designed maps and great characters across the board. Overall it makes it an enjoyable experience. Buy the game for 10-15 euro's and you'll get your money's worth.
