What is Pathfinder: Kingmaker about?

At the beginning, we play the role of a character who, after defeating a local bandit, receives a piece of land and the title of baron or baroness. Stolen Lands, the kingdom in which the game begins, have been struggling with various strange attacks for some time. During the events, the protagonist not only takes care of their estate, defeating trolls or controlling epidemics, but also focuses on expanding their domain and increasing influence. In the course of these events, they can gain (or not) many useful allies. All these events – beast attacks, plagues, and undead uprisings – seem accidental at first, but over time, the protagonist discovers that they're connected; the kingdom is in danger, threatened by a nymph named Nyrissa...

Why is it worth playing?

Also, fans of table-top RPGs will surely feel at home here, since its classic version was one of many games employing the popular Dungeons & Dragons system. This slightly kitschy and cliché fantasy world has much more to offer than you might expect. This game is perfect even for the most die-hard RPG fans – we have, among others, an elaborate storyline, an advanced character development system or side missions that everyone seems to love.

Has been writing articles for Gamepressure since March 2022 about both games and movies. On a daily basis, she deals with creating storylines for games, so she knows the industry inside out. She's been playing since she was little; she usually chooses JRPGs or indie games, although she also has a huge weakness for 3D platformers. Feels most comfortable when writing, so she considers the combination of creating texts with a passion for games a natural sequence of events. Privately, she collects Tamagotchi and takes care of her small, cat family. She happily shares her favorite games, cat photos, and other various things on Instagram.
