This review is long overdue.

I've always been a hardcore crpg fan. Baldur's Gate 2 was my all time favourite game and ever since I played it when I was 14-16, I never found a game that I liked more than that.

That was, until I played Owlcat's Wrath of the Righteous. after 20 years, I finally found a game that is not only better than Baldur's Gate 2, but it blows it away by miles. This is now my favourite game of all time!
In every sense, Owlcat's pathfinder games (Kingmaker and WoTR) are the spiritual successors to BG.

There's so much I could say about this game. I love the game mechanics, the difficulty/challenge, the writing, the characters, the voice acting, the art. I just love the game and I know I'm going to be replaying it A LOT to try get all the different achievements and see the different story options.
I EXTREMELY highly recommend this -if you are into crpgs-!

Owlcat, if guys are reading this, there's only one thing I feel you could work on/improve: The visual side of things. Not that it is bad now, but you can make it a lot prettier, (without going into crazy 3d graphics or anything). Like in the inventory mode, jazz up equipping the items, cosmetics etc. More variety for the character customisation and cosmetics, that is all.

Thank you for the amazing work you have done! I'm going to be a life long fan of yours and can't wait to see what else you come up with! <3

I finally played Baldur's Gate 3.
I can say without any doubt or hesitation, Wrath of the Righteous is far superior as an rpg game. The only thing BG3 is better at is the visuals. They spend all the money on the visuals and audio. The game is waaaay too easy even on tactician, buggy and constantly breaking immersion for me.

I wouldnt say infinitely better, cause that makes it sound like KM wasnt good. It was actually a VERY good game and better than DoS2 which I thought had a stupid story, with 2 dimensional characters and awful voice acting (good game tho).
But WotR is definitely a few steps ahead.

I was just wondering if it significantly better in particular, b/c reading reviews here makes it seem as WotR is infinitely better storytelling and funner to play than Kingmaker. Thanks

DoS 2 was good, but had a lot of flaws. Dont get me wrong, its fun, but not that great imo.
BG3 I havent played yet cause I refuse to buy another early access game that takes 10 years to finish.
Kingmaker was good, it had flaws, but I feel they improved them in WotR.
Some stuff also depends on taste. People complained a lot about the kingdom management mini game in Kingmaker, but I didnt mind it at all.

How it compare to Baldur'd Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Pathfinder Kingmaker? I spent so much time just trying to figure out leveling stats in PK. Also

In fairness, literally the prettiest water I seen in any game ever was in Pathfinder Kingmaker. Graphics very serviceable for what can in theory run on potato.
