Forum Overview :: Pillars of Eternity

Spent about an hour with this. by Oom Shnibble 03/27/2015, 9:40am PDT So far I am enjoying it far more than Wasteland 2 or Divinity : OS. I found Wasteland to be empty and soulless while D:OS was too slow to start and I just couldn't get into it. This one has just hooked me from the beginning. Combat is meaty and tactical while the story has got me interested from the beginning. It also has a great atmosphere. I am not a technical reviewer and I am barely a gamer anymore but this gets the intangible feel and experience of one of the great games so far. It nails what made BG1 and BG2 such memorable experience. After an hour of WL2 and D:OS I felt like I should have waited for a sale. Pillars wants me to just experience the next map.
