I’ve spent about 25 hours with Pillars so far, and although that’s not enough time to give it an Official Kotaku Review, I feel quite comfortable saying that it’s a stellar game, one I’d recommend to anyone who likes RPGs in any way.Īre you a fan of old Infinity Engine games like Icewind Dale and Baldur’s Gate? You should play Pillars of Eternity.Īre you a fan of RPGs at all? You should play Pillars of Eternity.ĭo you like exploring a fascinating brand new fantasy world with its own lore and history?

You should play Pillars of Eternity.ĭo you hate reading? You probably shouldn’t play Pillars of Eternity. If they launch a Kickstarter for another one, they have got my money. The developers at Obsidian have successfully emulated the atmosphere and top-notch writing that so many people loved in those old D&D games, adding their own unique systems and rules to make an RPG that feels both delightfully old-school and quite thoroughly modern. Today, having spent the past week sinking my teeth into the game now called Pillars of Eternity, it’s safe to say that I was right. A new isometric RPG in the style of all those old Infinity Engine games I had spent hundreds of hours living in back in the early 2000s? Yes. But the prospect was just so damn exciting.
In retrospect that was a bit premature, especially as the years went by and we saw a decent number of successful Kickstarters either disappoint fans or disappear entirely.
