If you don't have a high-range PC gaming, this console version is the best way to enjoy this title, with all the DLCs and patches included with no extra download required. As for the game itself, it's one of the better CPRG out there.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire brings a world full of challenges, dangers, and risks in which you are about to make your history. Thanks to its incredible quest design, your adventure in the world of Deadfire has nothing less than the main storyline of the game. It's a huge, detailed, and living game that deserves to be played over and over.

While the frequency and duration of loading time in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is painful at best, the superb writing, extraordinary voice acting, and immersive soundtrack makes this one that should not be missed. There is a reason Pillars of Eternity 2 was nominated for over a half-dozen awards in 2018, and any cRPG fan worth their weight in salt owes it to themselves to add masterpiece to their collection.

While the controls aren’t perfect, they work well enough so I can’t complain about them. My one complaint is about load times. As you transition from scene to scene, it can take quite a while for the game to load. It’s a shame as it really slows down what’s already a fairly glacially paced title. Hopefully, a future update can address this.

‎Pillars of Eternity II is an example for all those developers who make sequels to their titles. It takes all the best from the original Pillars of Eternity and reproduces it with a number of improvements and new mechanics that undoubtedly make it one of the best classic RPGs that have been made in recent years. ‎

A soaring achievement in the genre, very minor technical issues aren't enough to detract from the fact that Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire: Ultimate Edition is the first must-have game of 2020 and the finest RPG in an age. Adventures don't come much more essential than this.
