"If you want combat, go play Solasta. If you want narrative, wait for Baldur’s Gate 3. You may consider buying Pathfinder: WotR on a future sale since it might have its issues fixed by then."

""Pathfinder offers its own spin in the genre and while massive, complex, and at times unwieldy, the ability to customize almost everything elevates the game beyond its assorted bugs and sometimes lackluster story beats.""
