Critic reviews
- 9.3Pillars of Eternity dejó claro que Kickstarter puede ser una herramienta valiosa para los desarrolladores, siempre y cuando estén comprometidos con lograr la mejor calidad posible de su visión artística. En este caso, el producto superó con creces nuestras expectativas al entregar una experiencia maravillosa, indomable y representativa del género RPG.
- These are small grievances with what is ultimately one of the best games to bear the Obsidian name, which isn’t said lightly. Like so many RPGs, Pillars of Eternity is immense with an abundance of things to do. But unlike so many RPGs, it manages to fill its many spaces with craft and care. The towns aren’t just towns, the dungeons aren’t just dungeons, and the characters aren’t just an assembly of stats. Everything takes on a very believable form, transporting players to truly fascinating places.
- 8.6Pillars of Eternity is a fantastic game with a straight forward story and engaging characters, but its problems lie in the fact that it is so determined to root itself in the past. It's great to have a game that caters to the hardcore RPG fan that misses the classic RPGs of yore, but it's also good to have a balance in what made the classics good and what modern day RPGs did to improve on them.
- 9.0Pillars of Eternity excels at bringing the look and feel of the Infinity Engine games to the modern world in an expertly written story that’s worth sitting through for over 70 hours.
- 8.0It's easy to lose sight of those issues when you're lost in a fantasy and captured by a game's rhythms, however, and Pillars of Eternity effortlessly ensnares you, both by reminding you of the places you've been, and by showing you things you didn't expect. It is not changing the future.... You can easily dodge these traps, however, and emerge victorious in a world where the gods show you both scorn and favor, and it's up to you to hew your own path.
