Played it and I just stopped. It was buggy, had to micromanage spell casting, combat was unbalnced,story was shit. Lets put it this way, I love RPGs  like this, but this just did not do it for me.
If it is dirt cheap, I would give it a go though. Who knows? Tastes differ.

There have been some updates since it first came out. Check out the YouTube reviews, they're pretty positive.

This guy appreciated the efforts the developers have put in patching and improving the game and now he likes it more than Divinity: Original Sin 2.

PS I don't have the game and need to start playing Divinity.

Was interested in this too, but it looks like the 60% off isn't active anymore.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker seems to be a "love it or hate it" type of game.  It's actually on my wishlist, but I keep holding off (in part because I already have so many other games still to play).

Exactly where I'm at.  Trying to finish BG2 EE Throne of Bhaal, still have Pillars of Eternity and Skyrim to play in the RPG realm, plus several dozen non-RPG games that are in the queue of likely to never to be played.

Bold statement , better than Divinity 2, I'll have to take a look. The original  Divinity was one of my favorites, haven't finished 2 yet or gotten very far into Skyrim yet either.

Picked this up a couple nights ago, and I love it. Got the turn based mode. Fun as hell. Reminds me of the older BG games.

I almost picked this up but read about the quest timer.  Does this have a major affect on the game?  Seems like it could be a dealbreaker for me.

Hasn't been an issue for me, however, I tend to blow through things pretty quickly. I'm not a doddler  :crazy2:

No issues for me on timer. Wonderful game.

I came close last sale but passed on it. The new DLC does look intriguing though.  :coolsmiley:

In anticipation of this new game I reloaded Kingmaker a couple of days ago having bounced off it back a year or so when I picked up the Enhanced Edition on sale. I normally play similar RPG's on Normal difficulty but this one crushed me when I tried it.

This time I reduced the difficulty level to a somewhat embarrassing Easy and I am really enjoying it and understanding the mechanics much more. I play on turn based mode which I much prefer and if my experience continues to be good I will definitely pick up the new War of the Righteous game which as has been said is an improved stand alone adventure.

Character creation in these games are incredibly detailed and deep by the way.
