Dec. 2025

For me Baldur´s Gate 2 is the best story driven, party management, isometric RPG that I have ever played (Fallout 1 and 2, and Arcanum being other two worth mentioning). I loved Divinity Original Sin I and II and Baldur´s Gate 3. Larian did an amazing job. But there was just something missing - every step of the way I felt I could conquer everything with ease as an experienced RPG player. No anxiety, no excitement, no fear of the unknown. But not in this game. That fear of the unknown, of being underpowered, of: "oh no, there is another set of stairs going down, and my characters are broken, beat, and scarred already...should I turn back?". That is what for me makes an RPG of this type truly great. The feeling of being lost, overpowered, looking for strategic solutions, some crazy tactic to win, and all that on the seventh underground floor of some random dungeon, on some random island, where initially you just went to collect some free water and food. It makes it so much more rewarding and enjoyable once you win, and once you become a bully. This game combines the best from BG 2 and Arcanum. It reminds me of both. It is not as flashy as Larian games, but boy in my opinion it is much more fun and exciting to play. The lore, the atmosphere, the setting, just perfect. For the first time in 15-20 years I have that feeling of excitement and anxiety at the same time when playing an RPG of this time (I exclude Dark Souls, Morrowind and Gothic from this talk, because they are not RPGs of the same type). 10/10.

Nov. 2025

It is a great game with rich lore, great build varieties, and role-playing elements that shape your character personality throughout the duration. While the story is better in first, second offers better gameplay. Minus points for ship fights, they get tedious very fast.

Sept. 2025

It is simply a masterpiece. Fantastic Worldbuilding, amazing and perfectly voiced characters, a sense of adventure and a very complex but easy to use framework and ruleset. Loved every hour I spend with this.

Aug. 2025

I wish the quality of this game had been made clearer to me sooner. Perhaps the best crpg I have ever played, with excellent writing, voice acting, characters, mechanics, classes, and an open world that feels meaningful and expressive to interact with. I sincerely hope that there is a pillars of eternity 3. The Beast of Winter DLC is one of the strongest story driven expansions I've seen in a crpg, and a delight for anyone who is interested in the lore of the world of Eora.

June 2025

Well worth your time Great game! Deep, diverse and imaginary characters, world, factions, races, places, faces and story. A lot of gameplay, i have 147 hours and counting (including 1 DlC). There's a lot of trash loot though and I did spend more time futzing with vendors than I'd have liked, but overall, the game play is great and well worth your time if you like isometric RPG's with either real time or turn based combat.
