Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition

I love this game. Im too tired for a lengthy review, because I've been unable to stop playing for days. What a masterpiece.

This is the worst dialogue I've ever heard. Theater kid levels of cringe.

I actually hate this game. The companions are terrible and way too happy for the setting and story. Speaking of which there really isn't much of a story. What drew me to this game was the amount of classes and the fact that you can go on these mythic ascension and eventually turn into cool things like a lich or an angel, but it is not worth it. I had to force myself to beat the terrible first act before trying to convince myself that it'll get better... Spoiler alert it doesn't! The game adds some random crusade army manager mode which has no reason to exist. Overall I hate almost everything about this game and the U.I. has me questioning if the devs were smoking crack while making this game.

My large hour count in this game is because I like fantasy RPGs and because I typically leave the game running even when I'm not playing it. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend this game (or Pathfinder: Kingmaker) for players that are looking for an epic romp through a fantasy world. The developers of this game seem to sadistically want to punish the player if they don't have forehand knowledge of what each encounter is going to be before they encounter (and there are a lot of encounters) or if you're not a nerd that mix-maxes and spends hours on creating a character/party that will out-nerd all other nerds. This is not a Larian game. If you're not one of those aforementioned nerds who knows the whole story line than you will get killed. Repeatedly. Along with every member of your party. If that's your idea of recreation, then you do you, But for players that are just looking to have an adventure akin to a great fantasy novel, you won't find it here. The games good moments, of which there are many, are overshadowed by the poor design that revolves around endless combat.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous e Baldur's Gate 3 são a experiência definitiva para os fãs de CRPGs

Deeply enjoyable, challenging, with monumental replay value. I like a good crunchy RPG, and this is the gold standard. I hold this in equal regards as BG3, just mirrored in terms of their strengths and weaknesses.

“Janky. Buggy. Broken. This is the worst CRPG I’ve ever played. Core systems constantly fail, the UI fights you, and basic gameplay feels unstable and unfinished. Every hour reveals another glitch, another inconsistency, another mechanic that doesn’t work the way it should. The ambition is huge, but the execution is a mess. I’m genuinely glad I didn’t pay full price.”
