Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Reviews
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.
In Pillars of Eternity 2 : Dreadfire always choose with patience because you might regret the consequences. These Amazing RPG elements combined with a challenging combat system, though too hard during the earlier experience, makes for an amazing experience that is flawed due to technical issues.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is a diligent sequel that does a lot of things right. But it is just not enough to reach the level of Divinity: Original Sin 2.

A swaggering sequel that reaches for the future as it embraces the past, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a unique and ambivalent roleplaying experience.
Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire plays it safem just like its predecessor, and it has a worst main storyline, but it compensates with a greater and richer world to explore, better friendly AI, a refined combat system and much better sidequests. in short, a must buy for fans of cRPGs.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire improves upon the Pillars of Eternity formula in nearly every way, creating an RPG loaded with both strong combat and important, character-defining choices that frequently have an impact on your numerous and deep side-story adventures.
Pillars of Eternity II gave me the tools and the inspiration to spin a yarn of my own design that rivals those told in my favorite epic fantasy series and novels with the opportunity to go back and do it all again and for that, Obsidian, I thank you.
The tribute to the great Western RPGs of the first chapter was not easy to overcome: Obsidian has deservedly tried to change the cards on the table, bringing new contents not always perfect with a great overall result.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is without a doubt one of the best cRPGs of recent years.

Pillars of Eternity II isn't a perfect RPG, but it comes pretty darn close. The game's highly refined dialogue, combat, exploration, and character development systems come together in a way that just feels right for fans of old-school isometric RPG's. Making a sequel to one of the best roleplaying games in recent memory was a tall order to be sure, but Obsidian definitely cleared the bar and then some.
A richly imagined seafaring setting lends novelty to what is ultimately an evolved iteration of very traditional isometric RPG fun
A massive, bountiful RPG with richly descriptive writing, a well-realised setting, and deep tactical combat.
An excellent conclusion to an already excellent game. Ship navigation and above all ship combat are lackluster, but the general experience is fun and engrossing. Overall one of the best RPGs out there.

The second installment of Pillars is a great example of how sequels should be made.

While a bit front-loaded with lore, Pillars of Eternity 2 offers a more intricate and charming story, characters and vastly improved combat encounters. Less of a homage to the "Infinity Engine" era and more of Obisidian's vision on RPGs and storytelling.

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 II: Deadfire is an excellent game with a few minor hiccups that keep it from being perfect.
Carefully crafted and complex, but never offensively so, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire will satisfy even the most demanding role-playing gamer.
Amusing voyage full of surprises. One of the best RPG of this year and another masterpiece from Obsidian.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is hands down one of the best RPGs launched in the last couple of years, but I'm more anxious to learn when we'll get PoE III since the ending of Deadfire is awesome in a painful way.
