In terms of scale Divinity offers a much smaller world with slightly less diversity, only a mini-party system but a much richer combat and enviromental system. Recent games that might compare to it is Divinity - Original Sin as well as Blackguards 2 ( i am not aware of other western party based RPGs of recent times ) While Blackguards 2 rather tells a more or less interactive story by stringing tactical combats together, Divinity Original Sin is much more similar. It is a little more casual than the recent comparable title (Divinity - Original Sin) - but shares the 3d iso top down look along with a nice character development system. It is a little more casual than the recent comparable title Pillars of Eternity is a good looking game for the classic party based RPG player. Pillars of Eternity is a good looking game for the classic party based RPG player. there is a HUGE amount of content and as such it deserves a solid10. UPDATE: I had reviewed this at a 9 but made it a 10 after i saw how much content is in the game. Or they could have simply switched it to a turn based system (like divinity orginal sin) but this would definitely have violated the whole 'Baldurs' gate successor mantra. The chanter is a really great character and I think they need to develop more solutions like that so combat can roll fluidly if they are going to leave it 'real time'. They could have added some character AIs like baldurs eventually did but I think something even better should have been created. I did not give it a clean 10 because I do believe it could have received a bit more polish and mainly because the old school 'pause to play' combat system just seems dated nowadays. In this regard - it is EXACTLY what you would want to recapture the old school magic. If you invest in this game and give it some love it will give you love back. However, once you start to piece it together the game gets better and better. At first the game is frustrating because the combat system is not standard rpg and their is a learning curve.
