Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is certainly a worthy successor to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. With its highly varied moral choices, a tremendous number of race and class options, as well as the Mythic Path feature, players will have a ton to dig into. That said, the addition of turn-based crusade battles where you lead armies across the land doesn’t quite land as well, feeling sluggish and lacking many of the tactical nuances of the main combat mode. In all, however, despite the experience not being the most polished, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a deep, challenging and highly enjoyable title that is an easy recommend for fans of RPGs.

A competent re-release of an already content-packed, epic fantasy RPG that plays great with gamepads.

Although the game still has obvious bugs and optimization problems so far, it is still the most dazzling new star in fantasy role-playing games.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a bold, dark, epic saga, featuring an astonishing replayability value. The developers have experimented with Kingmaker, and have gone all-in with Wrath of the Righteous, creating one of the best story-driven CRPGs of late.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an epic adventure with a lot of battles, and a new system for an epic warfare against demons. If you like Pathfinder, you'll love this new adventure.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a faithful adaptation of the tabletop game, and a direct improvement from Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The army management system is more hands-on than the kingdom management of the previous game, but it’s a less fulfilling experience. Fans of fantasy RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Tyranny, or tabletop RPGs would be well-served to give this game a chance.

A staggering amount of content makes Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous an easy choice to recommend for those who have a lot of time to invest. An interesting narrative and player choices that define the outcome, this is a tale that is well worth experiencing.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a prime example of developers learning from the first game to improve upon the second. While there are still technical issues, it is a great game for Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder fans alike.

If you want combat, go play Solasta. If you want narrative, wait for Baldur’s Gate 3. You may consider buying Pathfinder: WotR on a future sale since it might have its issues fixed by then.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is not a big improvement over Kingmaker, but it is an improvement, nonetheless. Some of its elements are exceptional, like the overwhelming variety in classes, skills, and "paths," or the general epic aura it has, while some other parts sit somewhere between decent and good, like the story (which is a bit too stereotypical), the Crusade portion of the gameplay (which is a buggy chore), and the actual role-playing, which, while fine and all, won't be enough for those spoiled by other modern classics of the genre. Despite some its flaws, it is undoubtedly very entertaining, and highly recommended, as it will surely satisfy your hunger for a good RPG.

For those who miss the feeling of a long tabletop campaign or have been craving a new isometric RPG, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is the game for you. It's not perfect, but it has most of the best parts of playing a game with pen and paper while ironing out some of the fiddly and boring parts so you don't have to deal with them. Owlcat Games has taken what it learned from Kingmaker and improved upon it to give us something new and fun - no dice required.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is clearly one of the best RPGs in its category. The game offers an engaging story, a large and elaborate game world with a wide variety of playable classes, interesting NPC characters and monsters, all in a beautiful graphic design. Most of the initial bugs have already been successfully fixed or are being worked on. If you can get over the sometimes weaker AI of your companions (which you can nevertheless control yourself), there's nothing stopping you from embarking on a grand adventure and enjoying the world and the entire Pathfinder universe in all its glory.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a beautiful CRPG with solid mechanics, but for any player that is less than a veteran of the genre, it's a sloppy, soggy mess of an experience that kills any desire to learn more.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a fantastic sequel that is filled with fantasy tropes. This monstrous game will keep you busy for hours. With many layers, it is a complex but fun beast to master.
