Daedalic Never Disappoints
The Pillars of the Earth is an incredibly beautiful game, with a captivating story. The game is fairly longer than most point-and-click adventures, which makes it well worth the price. There is some replay value as you can make a number of decisions affecting the outcome of certain chapters. I'm interested in watching and reading the entire series now that I've finished the game!
United StatesGorgeous Artwork
I’ve read the book and watched the mini-series. While the book is, of course, the best version of this story, it’s fun to play it out here. And the artwork is beautiful, and honors the artwork in the opening credits of the mini-series. Another reviewer said the game was too similar to 1990s games, but I enjoyed that retro feel, myself. It was more money than I typically would have spent on a game but I believe in supporting authors I like and their projects. Ken Follett is an amazing author, so I’m happy to pay the premium to show my support for his work.
United StatesSpurned Interest in Book
I had never even heard of this series before playing the game. I thought it was very enjoyable and it made me go out and buy the book because I was intrigued by the plot
United StatesNot so Good
The book is wonderful however, this game is slow, boring, and has the feel of a game produced in the early 1990’s. It reminds me of the Kings Quest series. I suggest you read the book, it is far more exciting and engaging.
