Deadfire is a game I was really looking forward to, and it didn't disappoint. Compared to PoE, it has a lot of QOL changes and combat is a lot more fluid and fun, the soundtrack is great, the story is great, and the graphics are fantastic.
You'd think that that's it. Great gameplay, great graphics, great story, great soundtrack. Hell, sounds like a GOTY candidate. But sadly, that isn't the case. The game has its shortcomings. The Deadfire feels empty, it feels too large. There isn't much emotion outside the 4-5 plot turning points that happen maybe 10-15 hours apart from each other. The companions aren't as good as those from PoE. Bugs are many and varied.
This is a game I was looking for, and I love it. I'll gladly play through it again after the DLCs are released, and again after a while, but I can't just recommend it. Think the pros and cons through before playing.
Great game, but flawed. Not for everyone.
