Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire hews closer to the traditions than it needs to, and some of the new concepts like ship battles simply aren’t as robust as they could be. The isometric RPG has come a long way since the first Pillars of Eternity helped to usher in a resurgence for the genre in 2015. The richness of Deadfire takes a while to appreciate, and like the brined sailors that call it come, you'll be left with an indelible attachment to these islands when you do finally step away. There's a lot to do, and it's easier than ever to get lost in the little stories you find, without following the arcs that the game has specially set out for you. It’s at its best when you’re in these conversations, making choices like you’re in a Choose Your Own Adventure novel, drinking in the results and reckoning with each decision you make.ĭeadfire is dense, and it isn't a small game, easily dwarfing its predecessor in terms of scale. In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, good is too busy plotting and scheming to realize what the right thing is to do - whether in the halls of the gods or the dens, warrens, and courts of the kith. In Tyranny, evil wins because good is dumb. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a sequel that surpasses the original in nearly every way, and is an RPG that should not be missed. The developers have also already shared their plans for the post-launch content that will include three major story-driven DLCs, ensuring that you will not run out of things to do in PoE2 for a long time to come. Complex and life-like fully narrated companions, wonderfully deep systems, epic story involving gods and mortals and the atmospheric soundtracks will swipe you off your feet right into the world of Eora. Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire has taken Obsidian’s formula of success and brought it to the new heights. It is something special, something you’ll want to play again and again and is a game that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the genre’s best. If you’re looking for the next, and perhaps greatest, grand cRPG if you’re aching for an epic single player adventure if you’re seeking a setting outside the norm if you’re hoping for a story that takes you in and hangs on, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire fills the bill.
