Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Reviews
With clever gameplay refinements, strong mechanics, and a smartly integrated narrative, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is one of the genre's best.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is an absolute joy of a game and any negatives are ultimately nitpicking because they don't lessen the experience substantially. If you play games for their narrative, this one should be on your must play list as it brings an immersive, interesting and engaging story filled to the brim with interesting and multilayered characters and locations. The game can take you anywhere from 40 to well over a 100 hours, depending on the difficulty and your style of play. Suffice it to say that a couple of years ago I didn't actually like isometric RPGs but games like these are reason enough to turn anyone into an unflinching fan.
A swaggering sequel that reaches for the future as it embraces the past, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a unique and ambivalent roleplaying experience.
Plus, simply sailing around listening to your crew sing sea shanties whilst you track down rogue pirates is something we've always wanted to do in a grand adventure like this.
Tasked with pursuing a rogue god you will find yourself exploring land and sea in order to fulfill your destiny.
Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire plays it safem just like its predecessor, and it has a worst main storyline, but it compensates with a greater and richer world to explore, better friendly AI, a refined combat system and much better sidequests. in short, a must buy for fans of cRPGs.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire has taken Obsidian's formula of success and brought it to the new heights.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a worthy successor to the original.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is a sequel that plays all of its cards right. It's an enthralling adventure, both for veterans and newcomers, bringing a fantastical world to life that you'll want to explore again and again.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a sequel that surpasses the original in nearly every way, and is an RPG that should not be missed.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is as close to the perfect RPG as one can get. The fantastic setting, grand story, exceptional writing and voice acting, engaging combat all coalesce into an exemplar of its kind. This is the game that sets the bar. This is the game that needs to be aspired to.
Pillars of Eternity II gave me the tools and the inspiration to spin a yarn of my own design that rivals those told in my favorite epic fantasy series and novels with the opportunity to go back and do it all again and for that, Obsidian, I thank you.
Pillars of Eternity, for me, is the best D&D series there never was.
Pillars of Eternity 2 is an excellent CRPG that improves upon the original in every single aspect, as well as creating the best naval combat minigame in the history of gaming. Combine that with the huge world, 100 hour quest, supreme non-linearity, and immense replay value afforded by the deep character creation and you have the one game you shouldn't be allowed to miss this year.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is the perfect sequel. An interesting storyline, complex character development and a lot of things to discover will make you spend many, many hours with this title.

Great story and deep characterization, gorgeous graphics and flawless sound design all make the Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire one of the finest CRPGs. However, slow-paced gameplay and confusing combat somehow is a pain in the neck.

In Pillars of Eternity 2 : Dreadfire always choose with patience because you might regret the consequences. These Amazing RPG elements combined with a challenging combat system, though too hard during the earlier experience, makes for an amazing experience that is flawed due to technical issues.

Carefully crafted and complex, but never offensively so, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire will satisfy even the most demanding role-playing gamer.
Amusing voyage full of surprises. One of the best RPG of this year and another masterpiece from Obsidian.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is hands down one of the best RPGs launched in the last couple of years, but I'm more anxious to learn when we'll get PoE III since the ending of Deadfire is awesome in a painful way.
