    Really good, better than the first pathfinder. If you liked Baldurs gate, dragon age origins or divinity original sin this is your game

    163 часа! На столько меня вынесло из жизни и унесло в Голарион. И это только на первое прохождение. Из них, мне кажется, 20 я провела в редакторе создания персонажа... Миллион вариантов событий, я, конечно, пыталась пройти, все что было, но есть у меня подозрение, что пропустила еще кучу контента.
    Мифики - это очень весело. И их много. И хочется пробовать все. И где взять столько времени    163 часа! На столько меня вынесло из жизни и унесло в Голарион. И это только на первое прохождение.

    Мифики - это очень весело. И их много. И хочется пробовать все. И где взять столько времени Т_Т
    Очень понравились персонажи. И спутники (Дэйран, Вулжиф, Ланн и Регилл - лучшее стендап шоу, Нэнио - стэндап шоу одного человека), и неписи. Кроме тебя, Камелия. Гоу фак йорселф, Камелия.
    Главная антагонистка - ванлав.
    Очень порадовала возможность переходить в пошаговый режим. Я его нежно люблю, и этот момент, что можно лоулевелов запинать в реал-тайме, а потом над кем-нибудь большим и злым позависать с тактикой - таки бальзам на мое сердешко.
    Музыка. Просто божественная. Или демоническая. Или какие у вас там предпочтения, выбирайте на любой вкус.
    Кому-то может режим армии не очень понравится, хотя мне зашло(хотелось бы больше разнообразия). В любом случае, его можно отключить.
    В общем и целом, шикарная рпг в фэнтези сеттинге, где вроде банальный сюжет о спасении мира превращается в приключение с кучей всяких эпических, веселых, трагических, иногда внезапных событий.
    Там можно стать ДРАКОНОМ!
    А еще всех можно сожрать.
    Или сделать зомби.
    Вы поняли. Мир бесконечных возможностей. Рай эскапизма. Надо брать.    … Expand

    This is SO much better than Kingmaker, which I hated. Much more interesting plot, setting, exploration, battles, and no timed quests or stupid kingdom management like the first game. Highly recommended for CRPG fans.

    A Crpg masterpiece.

    The most complex and in-depth character creation, Great graphics (for a crpg), Amazing music, excellent writing, never-ending types of weapons, spells, customizations, etc...
    You can choose between turn base mode or real time with pause.
    lots of different enemies, side quests, lore, amazing environments and so on...

    It's a D&D lovers wet dream....

    Quite simply, this is the best CRPG I've ever played, and I've played well over 600 games in my long history of PC gaming. Better than Baldur's Gate 2. Better than Divinity: Original Sin 2. Better than any 80s blobber RPG like Dungeon Master. Sure it's got bugs but nothing was game breaking for me and lots of great RPGs have bugs that you look past to see the silver lining.

    An awesome CRPG experience. The options may be daunting, but I've really enjoyed customising my character and trying different builds, and Owlcat is being very proactive to hammer out the bugs.

    Best RPG I've played since the last pathfinder game.

    I was very sceptical about russian gamedevs product. But I've changed my mind. This game is awesome and i am so glad something this good rpg developed in our country) As for me, I think its better that last obsidian projects like pillars of eternity, tyranny and others. Bad part - bugs, but i didnt have a critical one which ruined the game progress. 10/10

    I guess people still talking about classics like Baldurs Gate need to update and this will be the reference for the next generation of rpgs.

    My first impressions of this game are that it is superb! The classes are so much more complex than in Pathfinder Kingmaker. I am already into a mythical path journey and loving it! I think this game warrants a user score of 10 because it is a simply a great game, likely even GOTY!

    A masterpiece. The true successor to Baldur's Gate 2. While you can play turnbased, it shines as real time with pause. Epic dynamic battles and combat, with a sense of tension and weight that turn based RPGs cannot match.

The visuals are not very realistic and do not have the most fidelity you'll find on the market, especially the character models aren't very detailed, but the art style is fantastic and the particle effects are stunning. The combat is very similar to Kingmaker, so if you hated that you likely won't like this much more, if that's the case with you I would recommend using a mod for immortality and auto battling in real-time with pause. The replay value is incredible, and the world and dialogue is incredibly immersive. Your choices in the game truly matter and there are plenty of them. I found the characters to be excellent and very interesting, I truly wish I could bring along every companion on every adventure just to see their reactions to scenarios and dialogue and banter with each other. The music is absolutely splendid and definitely something I'll listen to outside of the game frequently. There are a few bugs at the moment, but I haven't encountered anything particularly annoying and Owlcat has been releasing very frequent patches so the game will likely feel very stable before long. Personally, this has already become one of my all-time favorite games and I believe it is absolutely worth it at the full price which isn't even 60$ and I would recommend just about everyone give the game a try.… Expand

    A long-awaited sequel to one of the most complex role-playing games of 2018. Wrath of the Righteous is practically Kingmaker on steroids: better graphics, better locations, a lot of QoL improvements, a really epic story, plus mythic paths promise even more replayability on top of that. If you liked the first game, the new one will probably please you even more.

    Truly a GREAT game and perhaps one of the greatest RPG games ever made. Many people spend 5-10 hours at least in the character creator itself, which demonstrates how much DEPTH this game has at its core. It's not easy, and you need to really think about the math involved, but if you are comfortable with D&D, this game will be a lot of fun for you.

    You should check it out if you like the CRPG genre in all and old-school isometric titles in particular. A masterpiece. Brilliant characters, good narrative, lots of dialogues, many plot choices. A huge variety of classes selection, and options to build a character. The game is addictive and may steal your attention for good 200-300 hours.

    While flawed, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a grand and ambitious adventure and an impressive adaptation of a popular tabletop RPG. The eclectic characters feel alive, though the thought of that literally being true is terrifying. In some ways, it feels like too standard a CRPG; in others, it stretches the conventions of that subgenre in fascinating directions. The amount of writing here (and pretty good writing at that) is astounding — it’s a rare case where the sheer quantity is a positive, each quest another strand in your character’s tapestry, even if they don’t always hit. As such, if you only play one game you missed out on from last year, it might be this one, as it might be all you have time for. But that decision is less appealing in the shadow of the abuse accusations.

    Owlcat Games has made huge progress since Kingmaker. Time limits, randomized elements of kingdom management and other annoying aspects were ditched, while combat and character development return in all their glory assisted by very atmospheric new mythic paths and a bit simple but still cool army management system. For me, the new Pathfinder, Wasteland 3 and Divinity: Original Sin II are a trio of contemporary RPG classics, with the first one being the most faithful to the genre’s tradition. [12/2021, p.64]

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a fantasy role-playing game that is highly playable and extremely rich in content. Although there are still some obvious bugs and optimization issues in the game, it is still the brightest new star in the fantasy role-playing games.
