Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a lesson in sequel creation. Instead of making some slight alterations, or simply changing the setting, this smooths all the rough edges of the first game, while keeping the plot, writing, and role-playing aspect in top form. While not without flaws, and although the seafaring business is not equally awesome as the rest of the experience, this is, without a single doubt one of the best Dungeons & Dragons-inspired RPGs of the year. Kudos in spades Obsidian Entertainment!
Overall, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire feels like the game of my dreams.
Clear your calendars, folks, because the RPG of the year has arrived.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is not for everyone. The web of intertwining features and mechanics are as deep as they are complicated, but for those looking for more from their RPGs – more character, more wonder, more life – Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a fantastic homage to the true roots of the RPG genre.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is a diligent sequel that does a lot of things right. But it is just not enough to reach the level of Divinity: Original Sin 2.

The learning curve is a bit steep, the seas may get choppy, and the deck can get rather slippery, but with some patience and perseverance, even the greenest sailor can go from lowly deckhand to decorated captain.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire knows its audience and understands their focus, delivering its best content where it matters most; the story. The world of PoE2 is alive and breathing and teems with hundreds of characters ready to pull you into their own plot threads. Though it is let down a little by its reverence to ancient combat mechanics and an attempt to tack on new systems, the game shows off the love and care of its creators in the complex, interwoven class systems that allow for incredible diversity in combat approaches, as well as the beautiful design and graphics work that sees the Deadfire Archipelago glowing as few settings have done before. PoE2 is a title that every serious RPG fan needs to spend some time on.
In a market flooded with first and third-person-shooters, games that play it safe and game after game after game that could be a reskinned version of the one before, Pillars of Eternity 2 is a big, beautiful breath of fresh air.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is the right choice for everyone who likes classic isometric RPGs. And if you've played the first game, the experience becomes even more powerful.

Pillars of Eternity 2 is one of the best RPGs I've gotten to play since Baldur's Gate 2. I considered ending my review right there, since it's all you need to know. If you haven't played it, what are you waiting for?
With its expansive world, fantastic production, and strategic combat, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a marvelous take on roleplaying games that will captivate anyone interested in the genre.
Overall Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire gets an 8/10, it prides itself on thousands of lines of descriptions that add into the theatre of the mind effect it has going on. The combat is tight, difficult at times but allows for in-depth customisation with AI control.
All in all, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire has delivered. Comparing it to the previous game, this sequel has better visuals, in-depth mechanics, and great story-telling. This sequel emphasized on immersion, exploration and shaping the world through decision making. It gave fans what they asked for and more and gives non-fans a chance to explore the cinematic story. It took nostalgia and dressed it up to something fancy. If you have the time and money, take a step back and save Eora. Buy this game.
While a bit front-loaded with lore, Pillars of Eternity 2 offers a more intricate and charming story, characters and vastly improved combat encounters. Less of a homage to the "Infinity Engine" era and more of Obisidian's vision on RPGs and storytelling.
