I normally dont do reviews here on GoG although I'm a member since 2009 (!), but this game surprised me. You have to get it if you are a fan of cRPGs. Despite the small budget this game (imho) is on the same level as all of the AAA RPG titles out there. The graphics, sounds, music and overall atmosphere is one of the best I've played in many many years. The combat system is the most fun I've had in over 20 years. I really wish and hope that the Devs will receive more mone and make Solasta 2.
Title almost says it all. I've been a huge BG fan ever since the games came out and never really found a similiar experience. I was rather disappointed by Pillars of Eternity. For the first time I am playing an cRPG which gives me the same feelings I had back then when I was 20 years younger and was playing BG on my first play thru. The stories are very well written and engaging. The characters are also very well written and believable, which is a huge plus for me. The graphics may not be the best out there, but they work perfectly with this kind of genre and make the world authentic. For example I like that the weather actually has an effect on the party! Combat is very similiar to BG. If you are experienced with this kind of game than you will probably have no difficulties dealing with the system. Some fights are tough. But you always have the control over the difficulty settings which you can adjust to your playstyle on the fly. One of the best features in the game imho are the resting system, the book event stories and the kingdom management system which is not seperate from the actualy game, but tight into it, which makes it even more interesting! I understand the game had many bugs when it first came out, but since then the developers worked hard to eliminate most of them. Pathfinder Kingmaker is now a very solid, engaging, fun game. I totally can recommend it!
One of the best games ever made ... period.
