These are Pillars of Eternity 2 Mac system requirements: This is a problem you shouldn’t worry about anymore.

Luckily, Obsidian quickly pushed out a Mac-only patch that is now part of the base game. Instead, I’ll focus on an important question no one else is taking the time to answer:īefore diving into the game, you should know that many gamers have experienced a game-breaking bug that prevents them from starting a game. I could go on and on about the game’s features, story, and lore, but there are more than enough reviews that do it better than I ever will. The water textures and lighting are some of the best I’ve seen in isometric RPGs, and the jungles and deserts are so well done that when my companion character complains about sand getting into unmentionable places, I believe them. IGN does a good job highlighting how great PoE2’s graphics and art style are:ĭeadfire is a very, very good looking isometric RPG, presenting a gorgeous fusion of 3D and 2D elements to create memorable scenes. If it’s a fantasy RPG filled with pages of brilliant, descriptive dialogue you’re after, and a huge, open world to explore, the Deadfire Archipelago delivers all that and then some.Īnd PoE2 also has the looks.

Pillars of Eternity II is another fine RPG from Obsidian, brilliantly showcasing the studio’s knack for strong world-building, intelligent, expressive writing, and varied quest design. You can easily get lost in the countless stories that fill the PoE universe.

The game’s pausable real-time combat is stronger than ever, there are plenty of character-defining choices, and overall, so much to do. Perhaps not ideal for gamers looking for a lot of combat and action (I’m usually part of that group), PoE2 might just be perfect for those wanting to immerse themselves in a fascinating world and quality roleplaying. With an impressive 90/100 Metascore and an 83% Very Positive Steam user reviews, critics and gamers alike agree this is an excellent role-playing game. PoE 2 is still an old-school game, reminiscent of the golden age of classic RPGs, but plays better, looks better and has brand-new naval combat. First things first, is the game any good?
