It all starts with your hero being carried inside the safe haven of Kenabres, more dead than alive.

The evolution is undeniable, thanks to the improved balance found by the developers from Owlcat Games. It feels from the get-go like a fully developed game, not just an admirable foraging expedition in the world of RPG rules and game mechanics. The new game builds on the foundation of Kingmaker, but does many things differently, better. Wrath of the Righteous is the best proof, that listening to your players pays-off. Taking to heart the feedback coming from the community, the developers promised to fix all the shortcomings in a sequel. Kingmaker had just as many shortcomings as it had homeruns, beyond the countless bugs, people mainly complaining about the storytelling, or better said the lack of it. The first Pathfinder released in 2018 had a lasting effect on the fans of RPGs thanks to its systems and gameplay that rekindled the flame that engulfed our hearts while playing the classics of the genre. Does it manage to carve a path in the hall of fame? Although far from flawless, the first game was successful enough to grant a sequel, Wrath of the Righteous. Just as the classical rock song, Paradise City, awakens nostalgia in many, so did Kingmaker among those looking to roll the perfect 20. Pathfinder became one of the most popular tabletop RPGs in the world, so a videogame adaptation was inevitable.

Take me down to D&D city, where the characters are buffed, and the rolls are pretty… satisfying.
