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.

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 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!

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is an Amazing great RPG with lots of good mechanism, rich story, great team work and deep gameplay elements. It has seen many improvement over the first game in every directions and we are definitely want to see more from Poe series in the future. With all this positive points, Pillars of Eternity 2 still isn’t the game for every one and because of its isometric view some may find this game boring. If you are OK with isometric games and if you are a fan of deep RPGs, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is one of the best choices for you that definitely worth your time and money and it’s one of the best games in action RPG genre.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a fine game that makes it easy to get swept away in the pirate life and the thrills of ship combat. It's a solid evolution on the first outing, though the technical flaws are significant and ultimately detract from the overall impression.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
