Trash-tier Baldur's Gate Knockoff
I find it very unfortunate that I have to write this review because I have had high hopes for it twice and twice it has disappointed me, which is s shame because there is a lot of potential here. The engine of the game a knockoff of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, and it functions adequately running off of the Pathfinder system which is very apropos, since Pathfinder itself is a wholesale ripoff of 3.5 D&D. With that being said, the base game and combat mechanics are fine. The voice acting is very well done, the writing crisp and thematic, so why then the complaints? Well instead of building upon the strengths of BG/IWD, Kingmaker plays up the weaknesses of the engine and inserts some completely unnecessary faults. Also every quest is timed, and you will miss out on content by focusing on the important things the game tells you the timer for (and constantly reminds you are important), as the invisible timers expire on the things you were told are sidequests, but end up having major consequences. This is done to such a ridiculous degree as to make the game almost unplayable, it's impossible to manage time apart from trial, error and reloading ad nauseum. There are also numerous quality of life issues that should have been fixed in BG2 yet still persist in making the game an exercise in frustration to this day. So unfortunately the solid framework just makes a mockery of what it's based on and makes it an exercise in frustration to play. I have some hope that Wrath of the Righteous may correct these mistakes, but I cannot recommend Kingmaker to anyone except those just dying for more content in this style, and I would suggest exhausting both Pillars of Eternity and Torment: Tides of Numanera before trying Kingmaker. None are perfect experiences, but Kingmaker is the only one which is outright painful to play.
