Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Ultimate Edition is a stunning RPG, with its bold story and tactical gameplay slightly hindered by technical issues.

The popularity of Pillars of Eternity says a lot about the roleplaying game (RPG) genre of the video game industry. For one, it proved that old-school Dungeons & Dragons style games are still not out of style. More than anything, it proved that it's usually the excellent storytelling and worldbuilding that carries a good RPG, regardless of how great is the gameplay.
