Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition

An okay game if you like CRPG

I picked up this game after watching a youtuber play it (CohCarnage) and it looked like he was having a lot of fun. I had read other reviews that scored it fairly low however I put it down to personal opinions and decided to give it a try myself. I enjoyed about 3/4 of the game. The story was good and the gameplay was a lot of fun. There were a few minor gripes such as no ability to reroll my character and I felt that the movement speed was too slow. I ran into a few bugs but I joined the party late and most of the game breaking bugs had been squashed. I took part in Kingdom Management to try run a decent kingdom but found that no matter how hard I tried to keep my kingdom running smoothly I could never make them happy (they were stuck on stable and constantly fell into worried even though I solved 99% of the problems). Eventually I turned it to auto as I wasnt enjoying it and felt what I was doing was pointless. Everything fell apart towards the end of the game for me. In my opinion the spawns were too unbalanced and the enemy saving throws were way too high making my main character feel almost completely worthless (sorc). I didnt enjoy the maze/puzzle section in the first world and after a while I gave up trying to figure it out myself and relied on youtube players to guide me. It was just taking too long and felt tedious to fight mass spawns of tanky enemies while trying to figure out where to go. The final act of the game was even worse as a spellcaster as my character actually became completely worthless and I had to count on my melee characters to carry me all the way to the final boss. I thought the story ended okay and I was happy to see the outcomes of the choices I had made during my playthough at the end of the game. I have rated it fairly low but I would give it a 2.5 out of 5 if I had the option. If you are a fan of CRPG's I would recommend the game after a price drop.
