Devs adding forced launcher spyware to all of their games, we don't need launchers and accounts for singleplayer games, get rid of it.

I started this game back in 2022 on the hardest difficulty available, because my giga big baba bubu ego looked at it and said: “Yeah, easy.” Fast forward to December 2025. After multiple rage quits, several month-long breaks, and my sanity being slowly peeled away layer by layer… I finally finished it. And honestly? What a feeling. This game destroyed me. The difficulty, the encounters, the puzzles...everything …

Man, I loved this game. So much so that I can confidently say I’ll keep coming back to it and replaying it for years. I recently finished my second full playthrough, and at this point I can honestly say it’s my favorite game of all time, right alongside The Witcher 3. Owlcat Studios won me over with this one, I will play every game they release in the future. This is easily one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The …

Man, this game is bloated. Don't get me wrong, it is not quite a bad thing. I like long games with meaningful content, but if they cut a third of it, it would be just perfect. - The crusade part is undercooked. It is like a Heroes of MM-like mini game, but there is not much space for experimentation with the troops or trying tactics. There are some basic units, but the upgrade for them feels random, and the …

This one was exhausting. Wrath of the Righteous is a colossal and ridiculously ambitious project, delivering a high-fantasy epic on a scale and level of complexity that puts the competition to shame. Even though it has plenty of rough edges and presents itself in a very restrictive way, it is a respectable and deservedly successful work, offering an experience with strengths far beyond what its minimal budget should …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Writing for IGN, Rowan Kaiser praised the game's story and technical improvements over its predecessor, but expressed disappointment with the military management aspects. Jody Macgregor of PC Gamer proclaimed the game is "well worth your time", but criticized its inconsistent writing quality. During the 25th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Wrath of the Righteous for "Role-Playing Game of the Year". By January 2023, the game had sold one million copies worldwide. On 24 July 2023, update 2.1.5m was launched which among other things…

I really loved Rogue Trader and most of its elements (space combat could have just been scrapped and I think that game would've been no worse off). Anyhow - back to WotR. The writing felt extremely campy and juvenile (though I am told it gets better in the later acts), despite a very cool premise and world that I was interested in. The combat had started getting better when I decided to…

I love the overwhelming possibilities for roleplay and character building. The core of this game is impressive. What is built upon it, however, is not impressive.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would love to love that game but I just can't. There's a lot to like on the surface: pretty good writing, interesting dialogue, an intriguing story... ... But oh boy, they made the same mistake as Kingmaker by sticking to Pathfinder 1st edition and just cranking every single trick they had in the book. Now yes, I know the tricks - always pre-buff, plan encounters ahead, have countermeasures for every single possible debuff... But WotR is a BIG game. It's long. It has a lot of fights, most of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wrath of the Righteous is not a game for everyone, and somehow that’s become an excuse for people to pretend it doesn’t have glaring issues. Yes, the story is solid. Yes, there’s a ton of replayability. The writing is generally strong (a bit cringe in places, but nowhere near the juvenile tone you see in plenty of other RPGs). So, on the narrative side, it does its job. The gameplay, however, is a mixed bag of baffling decisions. I’ve played this across multiple difficulty settings, and the…

I've tried all the various fixes, edits, etc. and it barely makes a difference. It's a shame, because I was just getting to enjoy the story and building up my character and armies. This is one of those times I wish Steam had a "mixed" review option, because that's how I feel right now.

I don't know, at some point everything just felt like a chore: prebuffing a lot, having so many summons, combat taking over 3 business days. Story's somewhat interesting but I don't feel that immersed since there's a lack of voice acting. There was a point in time where I genuinely enjoyed the game, wanted to finish it, and maybe do more playthroughs. But now? I'm just burnt out. Demotivated. I can't anymore. I'm…

The broader narrative seems like it could be interesting, and the characters are fine conceptually. But the writing here has huge variance in its quality. Sometimes it's fine, but other times, particularly when it comes to spoken dialogue between characters, it reads like a rough draft for a YA novel. Or an incomplete English translation, which is more specifically what I assume is at…
