Pillars of Eternity vs The Witcher
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
The Witcher
The Witcher is one of the most world acclaimed action RPGs of its time. Inspired by the story and its fantasy world from the renowned Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher casts you as a famous mutant swordmaster and a professional monster slayer, Geralt of Rivia, in a non-linear yet intriguing plot filled with difficult decisions and important social topics like racism, politics and genocide. Being an action RPG, the game offers you hundreds of special abilities, potions and other magical augmentations in addition to realistic medieval sword-fighting moves to use in order to tactically take down your enemies depending on your own preferences, character build and play styles.The Witcher has come a long way since its first release back in 2008 and to celebrate its accomplishments, the developer, CD Projekt Red, has created a premium edition of the game complete with a rework of several aspects of the game, and include a director's cut, game guides, music CDs and a whole lot of other goodies. The game experience itself, despite having old-timey graphics, is already worth the cost but if you can get a ton of othe freebies, well, why not?
