3.7 ? Wrong, this should be in the 4.5+ category now. The game has substance, density, length. feels like i've been playing it forever. Pathfinder takes you back to old school rpg's. I feel like being back in the times of Baldur's Gate & co. Absolutely top for me.
After putting some hard work into this game, it has become one of the best RPG i´ve ever played. Great Story, deep mechanics, challenging gameplay. Very recomendable for everyone who likes RPG´s
For some it's a system of clear rules giving rise to satisfying complexity. For others it's getting your wisdom teeth pulled during a tax audit in the midst of a messy divorce. And then there's PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER.
Joking aside, this game is reeeeeal purdy! It's also a mind-numbingly repetitive "gameplay loop" of nothing but tedious skullduggery that otherwise lays there like an uncooked egg. It's still full of place-holder art and what seem to be proofs-of-concept never actually implemented.
I struggled through 5 Acts on the vain hope that things would get better for surely, certainly (all the glowing reviews?!) this . . . stupefying CHORE must, at some point, morph into an enjoyable *game* - right? Something playable and not performative? This is pointy-hat wizards and pointy-eared elves - this isn't the Human Proteome Project ffs!
I don't turn to stone when the sun rises, so here's my lesson learned: keep far, far away from Owlcat games...
Really good story for a fantasy.
Awesome characters.
But terrible gameplay ruins whole game. Unfair OP bosses impossible to kill. Pointless health potions, except the strongest ones, but these are super rare to find and expensive to buy...
Gameplay is just retarded.
In short: simple but strong story. Deep characters. Nice detailed graphic. Pathfinder!
Released version looks like an alpha.
Yes, you are not a dead god's body, not a son of a god, not a chosen one speaking with souls.
You are a adventurer to be a ruler over the land, because neighbors need a new ruler. That's AWESOME!
From the very beginning you met some characters, with their behaviors. One you hate, but he's is attractive in his madness. Other too noisy, one more .... Oh, they not just characters, but CHARACTERS.
Battles looks more tabletops than others CRPGs of nowdays. Actually, I prefer DnD 5, but this is personal and Pathfinder was OK too on its days.
OK, enough of hoorays.
There is no intuitive interface - 3-5 secs to open a tooltip on an icon(most are not self-explanative).I thought there are no tooltips at all! Devs are PF players - they don't explain anything on a gaming rules. Points? Oh. int increases other points. Expert feat. What is expert? Hmm... OK.
If you familiar with BG(EE) or PillarsOfEternity PF:K interface is still unusable.
It's still RAW. I've spent about an hour before start the game. I wouldn't count them all here, hope owlcat will fix most of them soon. Just read the forum if you want.
Seems owlcat need a hand on testing before game will be finished. Let's help them!
