Ending made me tearful
really nice story
Made me interested with the original novels, would like to read more. Very engaging story
More of an interactive story than a game, and as such will be too slow paced for some tastes. Neither am I entirely convinced that many decisions taken impact on the direction of the story. However, it is a story I love, having read Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series, and the graphics and atmosphere are thoroughly charming. Another huge plus is that so far, Follett's love of terrible sex scenes have been omitted, and I very much hope it stays that way!
Epic of war, conspiracies and romance spanning over 30 years. Beautiful hand painted backgrounds. Top notch voice acting.
It's a great adaptation of the book!
That's so beautiful! And the story keeps me engaged. Definitely worth playing!
no clue this game existed but man its phenomenal, wish i played it when it came out.
I'm in love with this game already.
So far, the story's pacing is perfect. It's like savoring a hot meal you enjoy.
The storyline, voice acting and graphics are just wonderful. The choices you pick has consequences to your story.
I highly recommend especially when it's on sale.
It's a good bargain for $1.99
Good story and good style.
I am speecless, such amazing experience, story is just substantial, in my completely blind playtrough i got amazing ending, i dont knw what to say, i almoust cryed multiple times, better then any TV show 10/10
Overall:
Story: 9/10 – Story is actually very good
Music: 9/10 – Good for an indie game
Voice Acting: 10/10
Gameplay: 8/10 – Not too difficult; QTE's are hard to fail, almost baby like
Character Design/Visuals: 10/10
I bought this game on sale, I was looking for something fresh, and was surprised, as it turned out to be a hidden gem. I heard this is based on a book too, so I might grab that as well.
Enjoyable, if a bit slow-paced at times.
As someone who read and liked the book prior to playing the game, I really liked the game!
perfect...
So inteeeeeeeeense, loved it!
Good
Daedalic, you will be missed.
Amazing story, gonna have to get the book. Do not know how it compares to the source material but to someone first hearing about pillars of the earth this is a very good "tell tale" game.
The greatest game I've ever played!!!
I adore the setting and how the characters came to life in this game, as I prefer visuals and sounds over reading books. It currently stands as one of my favorite visual novels. I would also defend prior Philip with my life.
What a beautiful game. It has certainly left a lasting impression on me, not only because of a masterfully told story, but also great, realistic voice-acting and breathtaking soundtrack. The characters belong to a completely different category; each is highly unique and leaves a lasting impression; some will make you laugh, while others will make you cry; they may inspire, enrage, or confuse you. Whole range of emotions is possible due to their exceptional writing. I truly recommend this game to people who strive to experience a great story.
This is a game based on a book.
That being said , the story was top notch.
I liked the hand drawn style and voice acting a lot.
Honestly this game was a very big surprise I did not expect to get involved in the story as much as I did.
Lately i prefer playing games that aren't adrenaline packed and yet keep me interested.
I highly recommend this.
It was really good :)
very good highly detailed artstye but far from being as dynamic as Telltale or Dontnod , but it is not necessary as it is more of a drama-thriller than a action piece.
as for gameplay, it is much more of a visual novel than a classic puzzle-solving , clue-hunting 2D adventure game
good story beats , which some good old well-deserved and satisfying comeuppance at the end of the book 3. Pulls some heartstrings along the way too.
==
These type of games of this detail and flourish being produced in these times are small miracles in themselves. This one was made possible because of the heavily hyped and well funded marketing push for the book series.
As a further lamentation on the state of adventure games, it is unfortunate that we would probably need to wait a long while for another 2D game of this length and visual standards as the industry players involved continues to shrink due to the lack of sales, and rising costs of production .
So please try to make a purchase of these sort of games once in a while.
This game is a real journey, one packed with breath-taking sights, a compelling story and beautiful music.
Boring
Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth is a beautifully crafted interactive story that brings the beloved novel to life in a new, immersive way. With its hand-painted art, strong character development, and compelling narrative, it offers a richly emotional experience. Ideal for both fans of the book and newcomers, the game captures the medieval setting and complex moral dilemmas perfectly.
- Pros:
- Gorgeous, hand-drawn art style
- Deep, character-driven story faithful to the novel
- Emotionally engaging choices that impact the story
- Excellent voice acting and soundtrack
- Cons:
- Limited replayability once main story is completed
[*]Slow pace may not suit players seeking action
Forgive me father for I have sinned...
I played this game book by book three times: First time to make all the correct decisions, Second time to get all the achievements, and a third time to go all EVIL-MONK. Unfortunately choices only matter in some smaller cases, the story and the ending is always the same. This was a bit of a disappointment. The game is fantastic however. The story is brutal & raw, and makes one happy not to be born in the Middle Ages. Graphic are wonderful, and it has a lovely music score to which I have fallen asleep on several occations (I did not play actively for 80hrs u know). Characters are very remeberable, and story is deep, complicated, and full of surprises. Highly recommend.
-----------------------------------------
Achievements/Completionist: One playthrough as long as you have a few saves here n there
Play this game if:
- You love games with long, deep and complex stories
- You are ready to meet lovable characters and watch them suffer
- You want to make hard decicions and suffer the consequences!! (does not affect story much)
- You are desperately looking for some way to convince yourself that now is a better time to be alive than the Middle Ages ever was, holy Christ yes it is
Do Not play this game if:
- You are not too into dialogue/text
- You are looking for a game with the possibility of different endings, you know a Real "consequenses matter"-game
- You are sensitive to blood, violence and bad language (grownups only!)
Verdict: 8/10
Too lazy to read the book. good story tho
A Medieval Masterpiece for the Price of a Coffee
So, I snagged Pillars of the Earth for under $5 AUD, not really knowing what to expect. Honestly? It blew my expectations right out of the water. First off, the art is stunning—we're talking beautifully hand-drawn scenes that just nail the medieval vibe. Every character has their own unique design, no lazy copy-pasting here. You can feel the love that went into each detail.
The voice acting? Chef’s kiss. Every line perfectly captured the essence of the characters, and the dialogue was so well-written that nothing felt out of place. It all just clicked. The artists and writers absolutely nailed the look and feel of medieval England. I’ve played a ton of visual novels, and this one’s easily S-tier. The story is gripping, full of moral dilemmas, and you really find yourself rooting for (or against) certain characters.
The pacing? Perfect. Not a single dull moment. I haven’t read the book, but I felt like I lived the story first-hand through this game. And the kicker? I got all this for the price of a cup of coffee. What?!
Do yourself a favor—put this gem on your wishlist, wait for a sale (which happens pretty often), and snatch it up. You can thank me later. Trust me, it's a steal.
Masterpiece...
This was a lovely well done point and click / choices game and I did shed some tears in some of the scene's.
I am going to go back and start over and try the other choices you can make that all tie together at the end of the game.
It may be short but again very well done.
At least to me.
Pillars of the Earth is a beautifully crafted, narrative-rich game that stays true to its source material. It’s perfect for fans of the original novel and players who enjoy story-driven adventures with a historical backdrop. While it may not appeal to those seeking action or challenging puzzles, it shines as an interactive drama that deeply explores the human condition during one of history’s most turbulent times.
If you enjoy narrative-heavy games and are interested in historical fiction, Pillars of the Earth is a captivating experience that blends literary storytelling with interactive elements.
If you like graphic novels and want to get a general impression for Ken Follett’s novel, this game is worth checking out.
But don't come with any other expectations. This is precisely an interactive adaptation of the novel and your decisions will not affect the main plot. Some choices are not obvious and their results do not make sense.
Part 3 was disappointing. I won't spoil it, it's too chaotic and the ending isn't as convincing as in the book.
I've not read the book or seen the TV show. Given that, I thought the game was well written and plotted the characters well designed and the dialogue intriguing. This was more visual novel than game, but you can die. It's not easy, but you can. If you are more in it for the story, I'd highly suggest giving this a try at a $15 or less price point.
3 hours in and it already got me locked in listening in the dialogue and completing the tasks that seems unimportant in the gameplay but is important to the plot
Game breaking bug that did not allow me to continue on because my character would disappear into a tiny pixel near the abbey. Shame as I sorta was digging the story but it was not worth restarting my game from scratch to continue on and hope the bug didn't arise again.
I paid 2,99€ for this game, and I feel like a thief. I knew nothing of the books and expected nothing more from this game than from the point&click I played before. It being a simple game, I played this along with my grandmother when I visited her, and we both fell in love with the game. Everything is told perfectly, the voice acting is amazing, the art direction is an absolute masterpiece, each scene looks like a painting. I loved the fact that choices actually have a proper impact later on the story, it makes you feel a part of it. All characters have a soul and I feel like I've actually lived through each of them. It's so good that writing this gives me chills.
This is a masterpiece, it's the best visual novel/point&click game I ever played. The pinacle of storytelling.
Hands down the best narrative game I've played this year. A well crafted historical setting, with many choices to make and many ways the story can go. The music is also phenomenal.
I'll comeback when I finish the game. Until now it's one of the best games I've ever played.
Really good story
there isn't much gameplay but the story is really interesting
