I have a hard time writing this review because I put 100 hours into this game and mostly enoyed it. Pro: Slow paced, can be stopped/paused at any time. Interesting world design. Lot of development options for the characters. Con: Needs frequent googling on how to avoid game breaking bugs (like Kingdom management on Deck). Sometimes you don’t know what to …

Good game, but it really needs a better tutorial. I spent around 5 hours combined at different stages of the game reading wiki, youtube guides and reddit, just to understand how different basic mechanics works, what the hell are battle maneuver, and HP dice, and what spells you need to have in your party to counter common CC. And that was with some knowled…
Why is this not recommended? Simple answer: PLAY WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS FIRST! Now, if you already played Wrath of the Righteous, something about Wrath of the Rigtheous seems incredbly unappealing to you, or you just really really want a completely insane kingdom management simulator inside a cRPG that other, simpler, more normal games just couldn't scratch…

Explore the Stolen Lands, a region that has been contested territory for centuries: Hundreds of kingdoms have risen and fallen in these lands, and now it is time for you to make your mark—by building your own kingdom! To do so, you’ll need to survive the harsh wilderness and the threat of rival nations… as well as threats within your own court.
Customize your character with a wide range of classes and powers including specialized archetypes, powerful arcane and divine spells, choosing from a multitude of class abilities, skills, and feats. Pathfinder allows players to create heroes (or villains) that fit both their individual gameplay styles and their personalities.
Meet a diverse cast of companions and NPCs, including iconic characters from the Pathfinder setting itself. You’ll need to decide who to trust and who to watch carefully, as each companion has an agenda, alignment, and goals that may differ from yours. Your journey will become their journey, and you’ll help shape their lives both in the moment and well into the future.
Conquer new regions as claim them as your own, carving your kingdom from the wilderness. While classic dungeon crawling and exploration lie at the heart of this adventure, diplomacy, politics, and kingdom development are also part of the challenge. Choose your allies well, and keep them close while exploring ancient tombs and ruins — and while dealing with politics in your own court.
Your kingdom is a reflection of your character and your choices throughout the game. It is a living thing shaped by your alignment, your allies, and your ability to lead your people. Not only can your kingdom expand, opening up new territories and allowing you to build new towns and communities, but your capital city will physically change based on your decisions, your policies, and even whom you choose to ally with. As your kingdom grows, a number of factions and neighboring countries will come to you to seek favor—and to test your strength.
