The Ultimate Pillars of Eternity Gameplay Guide for the Xbox - Is It Worth It?
78I recently picked up Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition on the Xbox via Game Pass and have been playing the game on the Series X console, which led me to ask the question: how is the console port of this CRPG? Is it worth it?
While it was originally designed for the PC, I have to say that the console port to the Xbox is fairly well done. There are a few quirks when it comes to combat, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to do Hard mode or beyond on the console given the quirkiness of the combat sequences, but the movement controls are fluid, the game looks and feels great, and everything that made Pillars of Eternity such a hit when it came out is still here.
Ultimately, if you are someone who has never played PoE before and you'd like a good story-driven CRPG to sink your teeth into and you've got Game Pass, I would highly recommend this console port. Or, if you're someone like me who just wants to refresh their memory of the lore of this world ahead of Avowed coming out in the future, now's the perfect time.
Stick around! I'm live streaming the game, and also doing class reviews and beyond as we work our way towards the sequel.

Pillars of Eternity, the ultimate role-playing experience on PC, comes to Xbox One! Created by and for role-playing fans by Obsidian Entertainment, masters of the RPG genre, Pillars started as a Kickstarter project, where it shattered all funding goals and pulled in more than 75,000 backers. From there, it released to broad critical acclaim, won dozens of awards, and has been a fan favorite on the PC. Now, Paradox Arctic has adapted this unmissable RPG for an entirely new audience on major consoles -- bringing Pillars' fantastical world, tactical combat, and unforgettable story to fans on a whole new platform. Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition includes all previously released additional content from the PC version, including all DLC and expansions in a single package.

Paradox Arctic has thoroughly updated the Xbox One version of the award-winning RPG for play with a controller, and have entirely redesigned the UI for easy viewing on televisions. Players will be able to easily navigate the game's detailed character creation, real-time-with-pause combat, and party management from their couches thanks to new TV-friendly menus and controls.
