Buy, wait for a sale, rent, or never touch it. The Patented Karak review system to see if a game is worth a buy upon release.
Still buggy but less so than the original. Complex, cool, and a whole lot of content.
Take care of yourselves people. Also ACG Needs ya www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming
Great review. Hope it comes to console as well. My only complaint with the first game was you have to be at specific places at specific times or its basically game over. Does this have the same issue?
Did you really say one battle took 1 to 3 hours to complete? The first game was a boring waste of time, but this game sounds like a new level of not going to play.
RDR2 Walking The Walk, please. I’ve been waiting for that for years now. I know that’ll be a time/labour intensive video but I’d love to see it. Keep up the great work, m8.
@@kvothefan5106 From what I can tell, there is only 1 hard time limit in the game and it's for a couple (literally 2) things near the very start of the game.
@@kvothefan5106 Simple answer is no, its not like kingmaker in that way
Man, every time someone mentions Tyranny's story it makes me lament the rushed ending and lack of a sequel.
It sounds like this game is in better shape than the first was at launch, so it seems like a safe bet they'll have it polished up in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for the review, as always.
O God yes. That game was so glorious that the ending is a big letdown
Tyranny could have been one of the best games of all time too :/ it's an IP I'd like to buy and fix (someday)
Totally agree about the Tyranny comments. It's probably my favorite Obsidian game after, of course, Fallout New Vegas.
Is there mods to fix Tyranny?
@@adrowsypoet is there mods for it.
Can we just talk about how great "yo and behold, I'm crunk" is. I really want to use this line irl.
"Hang with me shorty, the orks in the porty, lets explore the back forty."
@@ACGreviews WOW hahaha props
“Yo and behold I’m krunk “ my new favorite catchphrase
Considering that Kingmaker after it was patched to actually work brought me back to the golden age of CRPGs better than any of the games that tried it, Wrath of the Righteous was high on my radar and I'm really happy that this time it's actually playable on release. Preloading already :)
Super excited for this! They really turned the first one around after an abominable launch so glad to hear things are cleaner and more accessible this time. Good stuff as always ACG
The way he pronounces Paladin hurts my soul, otherwise love this review lol.
That and "vice-a versa"
Yeah, what is a Paladine? Lol
His Paladin pronunciation is Godlike!
And archetype. Starting to think he reads someone else's copy
just wait until you hear how everyone pronounces 'lich' in divinity original sin
Something that I realized in kingmaker, and is one of this series greatest strengths, was the devs really made you want to use your various skills and spells. Pillars was really fun, but half of the abilities in that game felt like fluff or never needed. Pathfinder, if you aren't buffing your party and debuffing the enemies, you're gonna have a rough time. Feels like the devs really respect a players desire to fill their kit with useful tools.
A very helpful insight and certainly a factor in my decision to pick this game up in a month when I get some free time.
I feel like Pillars of Eternity story and worldbuilding outshine Pathfinder though. Eora would be in my personal top 5 fantasy worlds any day.
Yeah, I remember making my character in Solasta and being really confused at how a third of the skills in that game literally had the label "Is never used in the game and is just here for character roleplay".
You tend to get a lot of consumables and skills that can be ignored, just like most other RPGs. Just looking at some character abilities and cantrips, I can't imagine they'll ever be needed.
A few hours in and I have far more scrolls and potions than I'll ever need, it's just a lot of bloat. Which seemingly every RPG developer struggles with.
I agree. Pillars feels more "artistic" if that's the right word than Pathfinder. Pathfinder I think is the better technical game. To be fair, Pathfinder spells are mostly cribbed from D&D 3rd edition, so they've been playtested quite a bit. The Pillars spells need refining for sure.
Paladines? Paladins? Have I always been pronouncing it wrong, or you? :P
Good review. Game is much like Kingmaker, then. Too complex for me, I'm afraid. My 2 year old's nap-time would be over before I managed to create my character and actually start the game lol.
It’s not you, man ;)
Paàaaaallllaaaaaadiiiiiinnnn
Loved the review, haven't listened for a few reviews so not sure if it has been mentioned. But the pace you speak at in the one is so much easier for me to follow and listen too!
The main reason I stopped listening to ACG reviews so often was because he speaks too fast. I left constructive feedback on a review a few years ago and got quite a rude response from ACG, which still irks me to this day. But this review is much, much better as you say.
@@GamingRobioto do you remember which video it was ? Curious to what he said haha
I do love playing paladines
DINE WITH ME TONIGHT
@@ACGreviews Buy, Rent, or wait for a Saleadine
@@applecrow8 As a medieval nerd, I immediately thought of Saladin (Richard I Vs. Saladin of the 2nd Crusade).
If so... yes I think everything is improved with a Saladin.
Same. My first build here is a pali monk. There's about two other palis in the game but I don't care lols
"Jumps between fantasy and modern language"
So, it's a Terry Pratchett novel. Lmfao
I recently bought kingmaker but not before scouring youtube for ACG review of the Game. Helas the Bard had not composed a Tale of the KM.
Glad he's doing this one.
Bro your scripting and delivery is godlike. Listening to you is a treat. Thanks for the upload.
It's also worth mentioning that the game is extremely rewarding for those who understand its mechanics. Using a few spells from your arsenal, positioning on a battlefield and adjusting your builds and party composition can be the difference between savescumming and glorious victory without a scratch. In most of the other games (e.g. aforementioned Tyranny), you find something powerful enough and stick to it, without actually adjusting your tactics and party composition. It's not the case for Pathfinder on any difficulty higher than Normal. At first, you'll be confused by the abundance of options available to you, but when you understand the mechanics, it will give you such creative freedom and satisfaction!
Just started playing and I’m loving it so far. I’m playing cavalier and find it hilarious and terrifying to ride around indoors cleaving people in half while my horse bites people.
Sure.....
Something isn't right... you didn't say "wassup everyday it's carrot from ACG"
Wait wait if you gotta jump to Tyranny for a more engaging/ deep story I'm pretty sure the story is pretty good.
I consider Tyranny and it's world a one of kind, it might be decades before we ever see something similar if ever.
Akin to vampires the masquarade bloodlines, something we'll likely never have again.
I guess I gotta keep playing that. It didn't grab me but I'm willing to give it more time.
I agree, some of the choices that Tyranny gave to the player shows how the dev team had a lot of courage, since some would get them in hot water nowadays.
@@mr350znismo7 No game is for everyone, but Tyranny is unique in it's story, setting and characters.
You start as a very powerful character, I mean you can archons to attention which are generals of entire armies/battlegroups.
Evil is so incredibly well done in that game. It shows how evil is more often bureaucratic and almost self explanatory, as in being good just costs much more effort. It's such a true to reality sort of evil.
The ending and later acts are a bit of a let down, but it's well worth it.
I mean the starting portion of the game will decide most of the game and when making choices you'll never see entire sections of the game, pretty rare in games for obvious reasons.
Ironic, as I hold up Tyranny as one of the worst RPGs I've ever played, on the level of Elex. But either way! I have great hopes for WotR and will dedicate my evening and weekend to it!!!
@@Kammereer One of the worst? How so? It's story is unlike any RPG I know off.
Anything but the let's be real cookie cutter stories of Pillars, Dinivity and such.
Don't get me wrong I like both those games' stories and quests they just aren't very unique.
Damn, that hit at 18:49 turned that demon into a huge serving of sashimi!
Glad you can actually cleave people into pieces as opposed to only ragdolling or exploding them.
...wish I could turn off explosion kills when somebody kills with a crit from a fencing thrust. That always looks absurd.
But man, the first time your guy with a 2-hander swings it and two heads, one arm and one torso start flying from three enemies... so satisfying.
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous seems like an enjoyable experience, despite a few bugs here and there. Its been a while since I've played a game like this so I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks as always Karak for another great review!
Nothing is more fun than roleplaying as a necromancer, choosing the lich mythic path, letting your party members die, and being able to resurrecting them, and they actually come back as undead bc of your lich mythical abilities.
I'm role-playing my 2nd playthrough as doctor strange Aeon, being able to use time magic and change the path of the story. (Example being instead of the queen going back to her kingdom in act 2, you can influence her to be apart of your army, hidden in plain sight.)
Great to see they improved their game launch, even with the bugs. Can't wait to pick up the game after I finally finish Kingmaker.
Pillars got patched, broke more stuff and then they said 'Yeaaaah, we're not patching this anymore. Later!'
Scummy. And I love Pillars.
Was really hoping you would review this one. Thanks again karak awesome as always
"And, lo, 'twas time for mine pimp hand to bring forth malevolent ruin upon harlots both near and far"
This game, allegedly.
I had backed this project on kickstarter bc Kingmaker was great despite some issues.
Beyond surprised you reviewed this. Major time sink. Thank you for this👍🏾
Fantastic review. I'll get this eventually :) I just started Kingmaker last week. I figure after several months of patches, balance fixes, bug fixes, this will be even smoother to dive in to.
Thanks for this. The bugs sound manageable. As for graphics, I don't want my CRPGs to be photo realistic. Sometimes a lot of expense is incurred to show a CGI person I don't need to see - or even enjoy watching if the writing/directing/acting feels wrong.
Baldur's Gate III is walking that fine line there...
That's why different games exist, some people find cartoon graphics to be less immersive. And when I say some, I mean the vast majority.
The bugs are pretty bad, I've ran into hundreds. From items that look like they shouldn't even be obtainable to the crusade defense banner being eternally red no matter what to massive performance degradation, bugs are everywhere. Most of them are minor nuisances but the red banner is potentially a game breaking bug depending on how you play, others have ran into other game breaking bugs such as save file corruption and even one class apparently isn't even playable because it breaks the game.
I'm loving the game btw, if I have one complaint it's that there is a bit too much micro managing which drags the game out way too much, it can turn into a slog to play later on.
@@SekiberiusWelkesh Ive had 1 item bug, a couple times the camera briefly got stuck, but literally nothing else and im 30hrs in. But yeah its amazing, bg3 blew my mind at first but now im pretty anxious about where larian is gonna take it. Would have much rather it looked worse in exchange for more content
@@bofad6074 BG3 content is fine, since they are trying to polish engine and gameplay for now. This is only Act1, so hold on.
Between this and BG3 - if you had to choose one - I'm torn, help me out?
Gotta play the first game but I’ve got wrath of the righteous high on my radar! Looking forward to it!!!
Play Wrath first, it just a better version of Kingmaker.
I agree, play wrath first you will have a better time, specially as a begginer. Its also not a sequel, go ham
Wrath is a better game imho I dropped the first while I'm hooked on this.
@@_Khalmyr_ Is it beginner friendly like
@@utsavbasu1048 Wrath its more beginner friendly imho, it explains things to you way better. Also, the stories are completely unrelated so it doesn't matter which order you play them in.
First Russian in comments for a Russian game) definitely like for a video, thank you.
Never knew it was rus game
@@AintPopular yep, developers are based in Moscow. I’m very glad to see that they ring a bell for someone across the ocean.
Love that Traveling Willburys reference.
I do think they should have more face and hair options. They could do an expansion pack later and address this.
I have *never* heard anyone pronounce Paladin as 'Pala-dine' so I dunno how you'd think it's said that way. Thanks for the review, will wait till it comes down in price a bit while FF14 is keeping me busy :)
Been looking forward to this one and to hear it’s not too buggy makes me happy, got the last one after it’s launch and a few patches so I didn’t experience the supposed horrors of that launch but man, I’m looking forward to this as I continue to enjoy my way back into CRPGS. Honestly owe it to your reviews as part of the reason why too man, really love the honesty you have with these games
Love this game! A clear favorite! Great build possibilities and story with awesome music. Really nice you can swap between turn and real combat. And a challenge that easily can be easier or harder.Higly recommended!
There's something I really like in their movements, incredibly smooth.
Looking forward to your next Walking the Walk!! So many people talk about video games online yet very few about environment and setting in a way that does justice to those games (I.e. the Mad Max WtW)
The problem with auto-leveling is that you leave yourself with no other option but to keep sliding that difficulty slider further and further to easier difficulties, but if you just want to experience the story, then maybe that’s good enough for you.
I didn't play the first game but heard good things. This review really helped me see why it's worth getting. As always, thanks for a fantastic review!
Not usually into games like this but this one looks fun, will wait for a sale to see if I want to pick it up!
Going through my first run as a holy dual wielding paladin with the mythic angel path. Having a ton of fun as is and glad to hear that it lasts.
Awesome review as usual Karak but I just gotta say...the way you pronounce "Paladin" makes my nerd soul weep in anguish.
i already bought it so why am i here?
Confirmation bias is good Baby!
You got me second guessing how to say Paladin... I always thought it was Pal-uh-din not Pal-uh-dyn
Its Cluric, Burd, PalaDINE, Fughter, Thuff, Spuhlcaster
In case you're more confused after that reply, it's definitely "Paladin" not "Paladine".
It's a weird pronunciation that I've seriously never even heard someone use before.
@@mjay6245 Can't tell if serious or completely lost
@@ACGreviews I’m lost
I'm having a blast with this, about 15 hours in. Pathfinder Kingmaker I also enjoy but it has a very different vibe.
Calling them "paladines" instead of "paladins" is so tilting.
Gosh I wasn't the only one who felt this..
Tks God they didn't use 2e rules.
Karak, your similes are so accurate and so funny!
I feel like a lot of these reviews undersell just how much reading you're gonna be doing. And not reading that goes down smooth... this is HIGH fantasy.
Really liked the first game, they let you import your own custom images for character art.
They still do
All of these types of games do. Pillars, Baldur's Gate, Pathfinder, etc.
It's still 3 hours from release :/
I love this game because of how much it reminds me of the Pillars of Eternity series, kudos to both games developers
Among other issues charge sucks big time. (0% of the time you can not use because evidently there is a pebble in your way. I love this game, but it has issues.
ACG BBY THE BEST GAMING REVIEW CHANNEL LETS GOOOOOO!! HIT THAT BELL BABY!
8:48 What's a Paladyne..?
portrait art is what allows me to accept the graphics/ woeful character customization
I'm glad the team released a more polished game than kingmaker and let's be honest this game has many things in it bugs are inevitable It's not like Bethesda or CDPR are better and owlcat is a smaller stuidio
Paladine?
Thanks for another great review. I'm glad the international is back on TH-cam and that you have chosen to focus on your own material. Must have been real tough doing three overlapping podcasts. Hope you feel recharged and refocused. Great job!
Pillars never got fixed on switch - after months of weird gaslight stuff on Reddit and discord (developers claiming to be happy customers among other things) and claiming nintendo ate their homework, publisher versus evil and the gulag developers they subcontracted the port out to broke the game even further and then admitted they couldn’t be bothered to work on it any more.
I plan on getting the game eventually but I’m trying to finish Kingmaker first. That should give them time to address the bugs.
I enjoyed Pathfinder Kingmaker with mods, think i will wait for the modders to do their thing before i buy it thou.
Anyone else come here because of humble choice?
It's basically an MMO without the annoyance of other humans 9/10
I suggest you install on an SSD, there is alot of instanced load screens and I also saw a pretty major fps boost.
It's simple. pathfinder:wotr is the best party crpg there currently exists and period
tied with bg2 for me but its my favorite probably
2:33 JUST CAST FIREBALL. ONLY FIREBALL.
Bigdickwizard6969, is that you?
I really like your Reviews. Keep them going man. Liked and have been a sub for awhile. Do you call them "Pa" "la" "dines" on purpose to trigger those of us who are OCD? ("Pa" "la" "dins") :D
Pillars did get patched for Switch, but the publisher basically gave up after a couple of patches and as far as I know, is still at least somewhat broken.
I attempted to play it again on Switch fairly recently. Basically, the further you progress into the game, the worse it gets, up to a point where it'll take literal minutes just to load your save and it becomes pretty much unplayable. :(
I'm really enjoying the game. Feels like a modern version of BG1 & 2, well worth the $49
We need more games like these and Baldur's Gate 3. The market is plagued with linear games that these games that allow for freedom of choices and with the accompanying consequences are a breath of fresh air.
I'll probably be waiting for a sale (and for when I have more time) to pick this one up. I really enjoyed Kingmaker, though a decent part of that was the kingdom management that seems to have been swapped out for Heroes of Might and Magic in this one.
You should add "wait for patch" to your ratings.
Right now you can pick this game up and the original for 5 bucks a pop and it’s well worth it at that price. If you are big into D&D I don’t honk you would need much convincing this is pretty close to the pathfinder board game
Awesome review will be getting this game for sure . 👍🤘🎮👨🦳😎
Honestly I watch your videos because nobody writes a review like u do. Unique voice, good for writers, like myself, to hear. 👍
Pathfinder art generic?? Pathfinder books have some of the best art around!
this isnt a book tho
i want to play that teleporting monk, how to do that?
10:35 The thumbs up and down in feat (and spell) selection was in Kingmaker
Pathfinder character customization is the biggest appeal of the tabletop for me and I'm glad they tried to recreate that in the game. Now only if I could recreate my gunslinging, elvis impersonating paladin...
Been waiting for this title in particular. Looking forward to fully dive in this game in a couple of hours when it launches, since it's my most anticipated game this year.
I already preloaded and now I am bidding my time. Thanks for the review Karak! :D
Sold, that's the review I was waiting for. Peace!
Can you please link your gnome necro/monk build? I'm excited about how you described him and his abilities. Thank you.
Are you going to be reviewing Dice Legacy? I would like to see your no BS review.
How does this game hold up for people unformiliar with the Pathfinder ruleset? I found Kingmaker very confusing. I like the DoS2 roll system.
It has better tutorials.
What versions of DND are you familiar with?
The majority of people playing these games are, unsurprisingly, video gamers, not tabletop gamers, so one can only assume that it holds up just fine just like any other ruleset to a new player.
clicked out of genuine interest in buying the game, stayed for your pronunciation of paladin these people are taking about
I appreciate your reviews. Could I suggest you slow down the pace of your review? Your viewers will process, absorb, and value your work even more.
The brother of Baldur’s Gate.
Thanks to the devs to make it happen.
Some players over the world are grateful.
Why don't they change the "miss" to "enemy dodges/parries/blocks"? It makes no sense for a guy who fought in hundreds of battles and killed thousands of enemies to miss all the time, lol.
I loved Divinity, wasn't a super big fan of Pillars. May have to give this a shot.
The dice roll is busted still. Forcefully prolonging fights. It's frustrating
You've always got a video on a game I'm unsure about, absolutely love it :)
Thing about owlcat is, yes the games are buggy at the start but they dont just abandon their games like some other companies but they give an honest and mostly successful effort in fixing the issues. I have heard horrorstories about kingmaker just after release but when I played it most of the issues where iron out and I didn't have more than I few pathfinding (ironically) and graphical issues
If you failed to lockpick once, you would keep failing - you need to S/L to get out of this situation.
S/L? Save/reload?
More on the gnome touch attack build please
Paladine was Dragonlance's version of Bahamut, the platinum dragon god. Pal-uh-din, brother.
who cares
This game is like an e-book. There is so much to read (even for an RPG). Every item on every menu has so much text and every conversation seems to go on forever. This is the video game equivalent of asking someone a simple "yes" or "no" question and they give you a lengthy backstory. No disrespect. Just wasn't my cup of tea.
Any thoughts on the console edition?
Cool review!
Where is it discounted ?
This game looks so overwhelming and I’m kinda here for it.
