While the slow movement speed drags things out, Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth is a must-play for anyone wanting a game to tell a narrative that doesn’t talk down to the player. Think Masterpiece Theater instead of Guardians of the Galaxy. Both are interesting in a different way, but The Pillars of the Earth engages with players in a way that one would not expect from the medium, even at this point in time.
By HardcoreGamer onIt'll be interesting to see how The Pillars of the Earth evolves over its next two episodes. As of right now, it's crafted a fascinating story full of great characters.

Il est vrai qu'entre les deux épisodes, j'ai eu le temps d'oublier Les Piliers de la Terre, sans doute à cause du statut du premier livre, qui n'était finalement qu'une grosse introduction qui avait un peu de mal à se tenir toute seule. Après tout, rien...

Ne connaissant pas le roman de base, j'arrivais avec un point de vue tout à fait neuf sur Les Piliers de la Terre. J'ai tout de suite été emballé par la direction artistique proposée et par l'ambiance générale du titre, particulièrement soignée, qui a...

La novela gráfica de Daedalic Entertainment nos ha encantado, sobre todo cuando lo vemos desde la perspectiva de alguien que le ha gustado mucho el libro de Ken Follet. Si bien han sido bastante fieles a la historia, obviando pequeñas partes que se...

Ein prachtvoll bebildertes Buch zum MitspielenMit Die Säulen der Erde setzt sich Daedalic irgendwo auf die Schnittstelle zwischen ihren eigenen 2D-Adventures und den interaktiven Erzählungen der Telltale-Spiele. Statt der Geschichte durch haarsträubend...
