Pro Mods available that improve historical accuracy
For those interested there is a mod that improves historical accuracy called the Historical Plausibility Project. This mod features many improvements to the game such as complex politics that were not originally in the default game.
Con Difficult to get into
The game is really difficult to learn all the mechanics of and how to control, like most Paradox games. For those that like this difficulty there is a lot to like but for the most part it only appeals to the die hard fanatics.
Pro Freedom to play how you like
The game allows for one to make their own choices with there being many "win" conditions in that you can choose to progress how you like. Want to take over all of Europe, that is possible, want to create a successful lineage of family that keeps to themselves, this is also possible.
Pro Massive online multiplayer
Crusader Kings II has a whopping 32 player online multiplayer mode. Something not often found in games of this sort which can make for a very intense and strategic gameplay session.
Con Extremely complicated
Crusader King II is a very complicated game that seems overly complex at first and may take a while to really learn as there are quite a lot of things to not only balance in the game but also figure out how to do either through in game tutorials or reading online.
Pro Three editions available that offer extra out of game content
There are three different digital retail editions available for Pillars of Eternity, Hero Edition ($44.99), Champion Edition ($59.99) and Royal Edition ($89.99). The Hero edition is the base game with no extras. The Champion Edition offers the purchaser extra digital content such as a soundtrack a...
Con A lot of reading
The amount of text in game may turn some people off as much of the time spent in game will be spent reading.
Pro Rich storytelling
One of the main highlights of Pillars of Eternity is the rich and deeply involved story telling. The minutia to be found in game is almost exasperating. Every aspect of the world and the characters within have a very involved background with many different reactions to the players chosen character...
Pillars of Eternity is a crowd funded RPG for PC that was developed by Obsidian Entertainment. It has three different digital retail packages on offer, Hero Edition ($44.99), Champion Edition ($59.99) and Royal Edition ($89.99). Pillars of Eternity takes place in a D&D like fantasy world called Dyrwood. In this setting the player has a main objective of figuring out why the world is cursed with babies being born without souls. Along the way the player will take on the company of many other in game adventurers ranging from wizards, dwarves, and many other races and classes who will partake in their own quests as well as in the main one.
Pro Allows for highly strategic gameplay
The rougelike game design combined with the huge amount of choices that can be made in both encounters as well as ship management makes FTL a highly strategic game as you never quite know what the game is going to throw at you. There are many decisions that can be made in the game, such as what...
Con Late game battles are long and boring
In the later parts of the game battles are very long which can make for a bit of a boring experience, especially for those that would rather be exploring than spending so much time on battles.
Con Lackluster interface on iPad
The weapons panel often covers up vital information on ones crew health. The problem being that this panel needs to be on screen when in a battle, which is also the exact time that crew health is very important.
FTL is an indie space sim roguelike. The gameplay consists of a top down space simulation where the player must control the crew of the craft as well as all of the resources needed to run it. Much like a roguelike game the world is randomly generated in eight different sectors of space. The goal for the player is to make it through these sectors without dying as there are enemies that will be attacking.
Pro Gameplay holds up well
For what is now an eleven year old game the Bioware RPG game mechanics hold up well.
Pro Engaging story
Being a role playing game, KotOR has a pretty good story that feel very engaging.
Pro Lengthy
The main story of the game can take a good bit of time to finish.
