Prepare to be enchanted by a world where the choices you make and the paths you choose shape your destiny.

Recapture the deep sense of exploration, the joy of a pulsating adventure, and the thrill of leading your own band of companions across a new fantasy realm and into the depths of monster-infested dungeons in search of lost treasures and ancient mysteries.

So gather your party, venture forth, and embrace adventure as you delve into a realm of wonder, nostalgia, and the excitement of classic RPGs with Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity! This game has so many positive aspects that I am not sure from where I should start. First and foremost, I loved the graphics of the game and the deep attention to details and the whole environment the game is based is really amazing from caves to amazing rivers and waterfalls there is a huge variety of places you will travel with your party. What else I liked?

Good question I love the deep customization aspect this title has to offer. You can choose among 6 races: Human, Aumaua, Dwarf, Elf, Godlike and Orlan and customize them completely. You can change your appearance; choose your religion, your past and build a character as one of eleven classes such as Barbarian, Chanter, Cipher, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Ranger, Rogue and Wizard. So many choices you can make in this game. But not only with your characters. The choices you make affect deeply your gameplay since you can side with various factions and the choices you make affect the game in ways you can't imagine.

Furthermore, the mechanics and the UI of the game are really clear and you can easily get used to them. I also loved the small cut scenes and the book-like interaction which is really amazing and it make me want to play the game even more. However, there are some negative aspects I should mention. The biggest for me is that there are some bugs and glitches that I am sure there will be fixed soon but they cause my game to crash from time to time. Another negative for me is that even on easy I found the game really hard sometimes especially when I was fighting ghosts-type enemies. I died so many times and I could not damage them enough.

To sum up, the game is a must play and a gem in your library. Don't let the negative aspects foul you. They will be addressed in upcoming updates. The game is a must-have with more positive than negative and a gameplay experience like no other.
