Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Reviews
Anyone familiar with my reviews knows my greatest fear for some sequels is messing up a perfectly fine system just because they can. Innovation for its own sake is not only dumb, but it’s also dangerous. It can be a series murderer. However, I am happy to report that Deadfire doesn’t fall prey to that scenario. It leans hard on its old mechanics, the CRPG roots that made it great and refines qualms about the previous iteration of the game.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is a fantastic old-school RPG with shiploads of deep side quests. Its flaws are easily overlooked when compared to the wonderful worldbuilding Obsidian has treated us to.
A nearly perfect adventure, taking the best from years of RPG experience and creating a massive game with loads to do.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire offers a unique experience with classic RPG mechanics, modern visuals - sounds and a new ship management feature. As a sequel, it both keeps the best parts of its predecessor and manages to stay unique on its own. This game is a must for RPG fans and it deserves every single penny you pay for it.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is an excellent game with a few minor hiccups that keep it from being perfect.
Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire is a gorgeous, meaty beast undermined by a short main quest and unimpressive naval combat.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire manages to tell an exciting tale in a totally new setting, and it takes some fun new chances with the fantasy genre. It learns many lessons from its predecessors, and it’s more accessible to casual fans, but this is still very much a cRPG, so expect to bust out your reading glasses.
Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire is great addition to what was already a great game, with a few setbacks that could hinder your experience but its still one of the best CRPG games nonetheless.
