Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth Reviews

Atmosphere and style is awesome Very good one

Excellent game ⭐ 10 / 10 ⭐

I enjoyed the story.

Build a cathedral, shape destinies, and survive medieval drama—until you realize you’re just moving rocks for hours. Gorgeous, gripping, but repetition creeps in fast. Still, who knew monk life was this dramatic? 8/10, would haul stone for glory again. ⛪📜🔥 Follow my curator page for more medieval mayhem, divine drama, and monks plotting harder than kings! ⛪📖✨ [b]https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/[/b]

This game had a really immersive and interesting story. The art is wonderful, and the characters were either likable or delightfully disgusting. The only issue I encountered was the limited freedom and variety in the outcomes I experienced in the third book. Besides that, it has inspired me to want to build a cathedral and maybe read the novel.

Good old visual novel. The story is so, so spread over many years as you follow a small group of characters. The story feels a little contrived at times, but its OK overall. The art is very nice though, specially the backgrounds. There isn't much gameplay here but there are several 'choices' which only really add flavour the end is largely predetermined. Its OK, but only really worth it on sale.

The story took a while to hook me, but once it did, it was super compelling. The visuals are really very pretty. The voice acting is superb.

Fantastic story, with beautiful stylistic visuals, high quality voice acting, and strong sound design. I guess this is what inspired the choices driven story telling style in Witcher III. This is perhaps even better, sans the combat. I want more high quality historical fiction games like this!

This is the kind of game that makes me think that Steam reviews should have an option other than recommending or not. So this game is actually an interactive visual novel. Based on a print novel, set in 12th century England. It tells a story of individuals caught in the wind of political storms and trying to survive, and you play from multiple view points, crossing sides. So narrative-wise, fine. But as a game, meh. I'm yet to complete my playthrough but I have the sense that my choices don't really matter and I am basically just going through the story. If that's what you like, then I can recommend, yes. If you prefer print novels to interactive novels, or if you don't like novels, then not recommended.

I wanted to like this game, and I can see the appeal, but...it was just so...slow. The pace at which the characters talked and the amount of dialogue was not a good match for my brain. Got very bored and didn't finish it, and don't think I ever will. But it looked pretty, and if you're into a slow paced, narrative driven game, you might enjoy it!
