5 Best Games of May 2018, According to Metacritic

2) Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire – Metacritic Score: 88

Like the original Pillars of Eternity, Deadfire was a successful crowdfunding campaign, hitting its goal in less than one day. That development process seems to have worked well once again, as Obsidian’s game has been lauded as one of the best RPGs of recent years.

It’s a direct sequel to the first game, and takes place in the fictional world of Eora. Once again, you play as a ‘Watcher’, a character with the ability to look into peoples’ souls. Critics have praised the setting, compelling story, well written characters, and the engaging combat. There’s also plenty of post-launch content planned to keep players returning to the magical world.
