2. Pillars of Eternity (2015)

Pillars Of Eternity gameplay

Pillars of Eternity has an incredibly thought out and deep fantasy world, Eora, which takes place mostly inside the nation of Dyrwood, which is plagued by a recent curse where infants are born with no soul, thus becoming “hollowborn.” At the start of the game the protagonist survives a supernatural event and becomes a Watcher, a person who can see souls and interact with past lives. Their journey through the game has the goal of why exactly they are a watcher, and what’s causing all these babies to not have souls (which seems like a pretty big problem). The viewpoint is top down in one of the best looking games I’ve seen, with difficult, tactical combat and a beautiful, living world to explore.

Okay everybody now let's get in formation.

I regret everything.
