What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story itself is interesting - more so if you've played pillars 1/2 because there is quite a bit of lore in this world to understand.
In combat the sound effects are powerful and satisfying - you can hear the wood of a shield being hit, or metal if it's a steel shield, the pistols/rifles if you use them sound satisfying: you can hear the click of the hammer, the powder exploding, and the round leaving the barrel; They spent a lot of time it seems getting it right and it just adds to the satisfaction.
This game got some bad reviews initially but they've added quite a bit in the latest patches for talent builds and stuff to help offset the initial complaints.
The graphics are really nice, I wouldn't go as far as saying their like "realistic" but they're certainly crisp looking and have enough detail to give you a sense of the beauty of the living lands.
The character customization is pretty in-depth, with quite a bit of customization options.
Although some of the party members (Kai) see more love than others (Yatzli), everyone has a strong role to play and great voice acting.
