Computer roleplaying game Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has made the jump to console, with the Enhanced Edition now available on PS4. Like its predecessor, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the wizards over at developer Owlcat Games have adapted this gargantuan game for us console peasants with intuitive controller support, UI improvements, and quality of life enhancements, and its available now on PS4.
In Wrath of the Righteous, it is your destiny to lead a crusade against a demonic invasion, fighting for a world on the bring of collapse. How you go about that destiny, however, is where the fun begins. Choose from virtually limitless combinations of classes, from bog-standard Paladin to the more esoteric Kinetic Knight. As your legend grows, embrace a Mythic Path and decide the fate of reality as a goody-two-shoes Angel, make light of it all with the Trickster, or commit heinous sins as the Swarm-that-Walks.
It's hard to overstate how crazy this rabbit hole goes. You can follow the Mythic Path of the Lich, kill all of your companions, resurrect their lifeless corpses, and play the entire game as a necromantic lord, and the story will adapt to these decisions. There are even unique companions who can only be acquired in an undead form, it's wild. If we don't show up for work on Monday, well, now you know why.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is very buggy with bad performance and optimization on PS4. So gonna wait on this one.
Playing the ee on PC right now. I hope they release a PS5 version. This game needs fast loading time.
Pathfinder is made by russians.
Think twice before giving them your money.
@Master_Rid I have been playing on PS5 since yesterday and it has been running smoothly with just a few minor bugs popping in from time to time.
They seem to have learned from last time and have released a much more stable game.
@Blacksmith1985 They relocated to Cyprus exactly because of everything that happened.
Does the PS4 version support mouse and keyboard? Would love to get the PlayStation version , but I think this game is best with mouse and keyboard as opposed to controller.
Thank you in advance for the response.
Kingmaker was fabulous, played it during lockdown ,unfortunately I'm now back at work so won't get the time to invest ,unless aliens invade or there's a zombie apocalypse that is.
@Blacksmith1985
Most Russians are good people and don't want the senseless war.
Wrath of the Righteous is enjoyable. I played through it on PC. Like with it's predecessor, the meta game is annoying as heck, so I recommend setting that to automatic, so you can ignore it.
Question to those who've played both games: Is it recommended to play Kingmaker first or is this a fairly standalone game, story-wise?
@TheCollector316
The point is not about being good or bad, the point is where they pay their taxes.
Payin taxes in ru = supporting the war.
@Pat_trick, Owlcat games is owned by mail.ru corporation.
It doesn't matter where they are physically located.
Is the text size deliberately user unfriendly in this game?
@Blacksmith1985
Fair enough. It still sucks ordinary folks suffer because of their crazy leader.
Anyone know framerate on PS4 played via PS5? Is it 60fps? And, played 8 hours on PC but couldn’t really get my head around how to get stronger. The stats were overwhelming - which is a shame because I was loving the story.
@Blacksmith1985 BY that point alone you wouldn't buy most games, cause they're made in the States, and well.....you know how they are with invasions and whatnot.
Anyway, this game is amazing, I cannot stop singing praises about it, if you like CRPGS this is a must play.
Just started. Going full oracle probably angel path. Enjoying it so far. Never quite sure when to use my spells as I don't know what is around the next corner. Not bugs yet.
Anyone playing this on PS5? How is the performance?
Is the camera still fixed in one position?
@MUG3NHC On PC, if you press the right stick, it will switch between panning the camera and rotating it. Not sure if it is the same on console, but I would think it would be similar.
@brazzios_84 running on my ps5 no bugs yet. Only a couple hours in though.
@MUG3NHC the camera is not fixed. You can lock in rotate or panning move. Also can zoom in and out a bit.
@Athrum I'm from Ukraine. I'm currently in Kyiv.
And as far as I know, Great Britain stands with Ukraine.
That is why I say: think twice before giving russians your money.
@Master_Rid
yeah I still havent finished Kingmaker. you are right to wait. I thought Owlcat wouldnt want a second mess of a game and took my chances. I should have waited. while better than Kingmaker it has some crash issues and UI problems. fingers crossed they will fix it soon, but not holding my breath.
@brazzios_84 Im on Ps5. It runs much better than kingmaker. that said, It has crashed 3 times the inventory windows dont always open correctly so you cant see item details or compare equipment. and sometimes you have to switch to active time from turned based to end NPC turns. not game breaking, yet.
