Why does it get 2 stars? Pathfinder Kingmaker is a cool idea with several annoying quirks. Why didn't I like it: Crits were out of control on the regular difficulty but turning it down meant I no longer even got hurt. From one shot kills to walking away from each combat like I was on God mode. It just FELT strange. I was a huge fan of Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate. This feels like a pale comparison. I'm guessing you have to play a LOT more before you become the king or whatever and have the opportunity to delve into what makes this title unique. All in all, if you're a fan of these types of games or in desperate need of some nostalgia, this is for you. If you love Pathfinder the tabletop, also for you. I am not looking for nostalgia and am ambivalent toward Pathfinder so I walked away. Definitely give it a try if you've got some patience and time. It looks to be a rewarding experience for you if so.
