Welfur Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) One of the biggest german PC magazines made a Let's play (PC Games). The guy was 15 hours in the game and was very very positiv. Since it was the chief editor i guess a really good review will hit the stands. Another german preview from yesterday: http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/pillars-of-eternity/news/pillars_of_eternity,48834,3084206.html have fun I see high marks comming in Edited March 26, 2015 by Welfur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonntam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Probably for the best you don't read it, it's got some vague main story spoilers. Reviewer also says that there are not many plot twists in side quests, but the game excells at difficult moral decisions. He also says that companions are not really on PS:T level, but more toned down like in BG or Bioware games. So nothing overly special and overly exciting, but still okay.

Justinian Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) RPS "It’s a triumph. A wonderful, enormous and spellbinding RPG, gloriously created in the image of BioWare’s Infinity classics, but distinctly its own. A classic in every sense." http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015...ernity-review/Videogamer "Pillars of Eternity is modern, while evoking the past. It’s accessible, but satisfyingly complex. Its quality is undeniable, and it’s particularly heartening to see Obsidian, the underdog RPG studio with a string of thrown-bones and rough diamonds behind it, pour its sweat and passion into something they obviously love – and utterly nail it." http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/pi...ty_review.htmlPC Gamer "Pillars of Eternity is "one of the best RPGs on PC" Edited March 26, 2015 by Justinian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCrash Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) German Gamestar also recommends it, although they don't want to give it a score yet. http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/pillars-of-eternity/artikel/pillars_of_eternity,48834,3084291.html I'm actually a bit sad that it got no "essentials" award from Eurogamer.

Monte Carlo Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You get the feeling the entire PC gaming community is getting behind PoE. I suspect it's a lot of reviewers nostalgic for the pre-cursor games, let's hope a new generation of people find them equally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justinian Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) The Escapist: Bottom Line: It's the best new, isometric RPG to come out in years.Recommendation: While Pillars of Eternity is certainly banking on a nostalgic fan base, it's still an excellent RPG in its own right. It's a game rich with player agency, giving you tons of control to craft your story or explore different solutions to the presented problems. You know, actual roleplaying not simply a game with a leveling and stat system stapled on. 10/10 Edited March 26, 2015 by Justinian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
