It's mechanically better than Pillars 1, but chock full of low quality filler content. Lots of quantity, but not much quality. Some of the Companions are pretty annoying too. Overall it's a passable RPG, but nowhere near as good as industry leaders like Larian Studios put out. I would even say Obsidian's most recent release, Avowed is better. POE 2 is also tiring to play and needlessly mechanically complex. There's no joy or fun in the storyline either, it takes itself way too seriously and it's also extremely grim and negative in tone all the time as well. Overall, just okay.
