Pillars of Eternity

  • RPG
  • Fantasy
  • Classic

A classic RPG in the Baldur's Gate tradition: you create your character, lead a party of up to six in real-time-with-pause or turn-based combat, whichever you prefer, and your choices shape the ending. You also run a stronghold.

Why play it now

When you've got weeks ahead for a single game: 3DJuegos reckons the story alone takes more than 50 hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who misses old-school RPGs: lots of text and dialogue with loads of possible replies.

When not to pick it

If wrestling with your party annoys you: reviews criticise how it moves and gets in its own way.
