This game heavily favors enemies unless you adjust the difficulty until the enemy's stats become worthless. Playing on "Normal", you'll be constantly missing while the enemy will be constantly hitting you. The only method of leveling the playing field is to go into a battle to see what enemies you are up against, reloading and then buffing yourself appropriately. The enemies have high AC and often have some form of damage reduction laid on top of it. In general you want your heroes to hit about between 60 to 70 percent of the time, but in this game it feels more like 40 percent. I've had too many encounters where one enemy is getting pummeled by six characters for multiple rounds of combat, only for one or two attacks to hit. The random encounters also vary heavily. Running into an inescapable CR14 encounter with a level 6 party is unacceptable. As a PC and DM of Pathfinder for six years, it's not okay to make every encounter APL+2. On top of that, the encounters don't give the appropriate amount of XP for their CR rating. The resting forces you to always forage for food unless you have a specific ration item in your inventory. It doesn't matter if you have 20 piles of meat in your inventory or 15 entire chickens, you're still forced to forage for food unless you have that ration item. You're especially doomed if you are in an underground location that locks you out of leaving until you finish it. You're not allowed to rest here because you can't forage for food so that means you can't replenish health of your abilities. Great. Finally, the game is awful at explaining its mechanics to the player. This information should be clear, especially to people completely unfamiliar with Pathfinder rules. If I have to whip out my own physical Pathfinder books, you've done a bad job at explaining. Overall, the game is very solid but the unbalanced combat ruins the experience as you progress through the game.
