Pillars of Eternity may look and feel old-school, and that might turn you off. This game has all the ingredients to do old-school RPGs justice. Pillars of Eternity 2 also features real-time gameplay, an elevated camera angle, detailed party customizations, and tons of dialogue. This is still an old-school game, reminiscent of the golden age of classic RPGs, but it plays better, looks better and has brand-new naval combat. Pillars of Eternity 2 is not only a worthy successor, it improved upon everything the original game did.
But developer Obsidian delivered, raising over $4 Million from over 33,000 backers. Because of the success of the original Pillars of Eternity, expectations were incredibly high.
