I adore so much of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, from being able to play as an undead lich, to how the story adapts to that choice like you're playing through an incredibly detailed dark fantasy book. That's why I'm almost devastated by the game's lack of polish. It's unbalanced, there's bugs that forced regular restarts, and the console UI isn't suited to managing a crusade, which isn't as interesting as kingdom management. If this is your kind of game, you're better off trying to play on PC. Otherwise, you can join me in enjoying the game despite itself, or...

Wrath of the Righteous is an extensive and ambitious RPG with plenty of spectacle, but a bloat of gameplay systems and unrefined ideas weigh down the experience.

Wrath of the Righteous is a deep, engaging, faithful recreation of the tabletop campaign with only minor flaws. Its Crusade system is imperfect and the learning curve is more of a mountain, but the reward for getting through both is a long experience with incredible replay value. I know I will be replaying a few times soon, and I invite you to do the same.

Wrath of the Righteous is a beautiful love letter to tabletop RPGs that faithfully evokes the thrill of sitting down to play through an epic adventure.

An ambitious CRPG that follows the zero-to-hero formula to its conclusion, then keeps going.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a prime example of developers learning from the first game to improve upon the second. While there are still technical issues, it is a great game for Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder fans alike.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a triumph of a game, and arguably the best isometric RPG since Planescape Torment.

Over a year following the announcement of its Kickstarter campaign, Owlcat Games has finally released Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, the long-awaited sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This new entry rectifies some, if not all, of its predecessor’s flaws and delivers a fantastic new cast of characters and setting to explore. Despite some bugs, and the new replacement mode for the kingdom management elements in Kingmaker still not being as compelling as the main gameplay, Pathfinder: Wrat...

When it comes to computer roleplaying games, I suspect that most fans of the genre line up somewhere on a continuum that has the rules, stat and number obsessed at one end, and the lovers of good stories, grand adventures and memorable characters at the other. My bias is definitely towards story over slavish adherence to rules, but without the invisible hand of RNG underpinning the experience, you really don’t have a CRPG at all. Pathfinder: Kingmaker definitely courted the number crunchers, and aside from its bugs and generally rough state at launch, it was a slow-starter and didn’t grab...

Featuring stellar depth and compelling storytelling, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is the next logical step for the franchise. It improves upon its predecessor in every feasible way, despite it's intimidating exterior. This is an adventure that you won't want to miss.

Owlcat Games captured the creative freedom and magic of tabletop RPG adventure in a way few others do. There is such a good story here with characters and music that really push the desperation of survival in this game’s world. And you get to answer to the ongoing narrative with a character you can truly make your own both before the game begins and throughout the adventure. I wish it wasn’t so unforgiving in its information or that it didn’t deviate so much from the adventure with the Crusade Management, but you can also tone down the challenge at will...

It's undeniable that the past few years have been great for tabletop role-playing game fans who also happen to love video games, thanks to the release of some amazing games that manage to stay true to their RPG roots while offering excellent experiences. Among these games is Pathfinder: Kingmaker, a faithful adaptation of the tabletop game that unfortunately failed to be a game that even newcomers could enjoy, as the great depth of its experience wasn't explained properly inside the game itself. With Owlcat Games fully aware of these issues, the team set out to fix everything wrong in Kingmaker...

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a bold, dark, epic saga, featuring an astonishing replayability value. The developers have experimented with Kingmaker, and have gone all-in with Wrath of the Righteous, creating one of the best story-driven CRPGs of late.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker was a good, yet heavily flawed game. The foundation was solid. Character customization was unparalleled, the understanding of adventuring on point, and it was a clear product of passion for RPGs. However, implementation left much to be desired, balance was absolutely crap, and the headlining kingdom making feature was uneven at best. Updates helped smooth things over, and it’s safe to say it’s in great condition now. Still, there’s a difference between a good to gr...
