Old genres don’t really die out. They just fall out of vogue and lay dormant, waiting for their time to come again. A new generation of gamers could rediscover it or older fans may decide to pour money into a project that brings back a piece of their childhood. Either way, a style of game you thought was forgotten has a way of coming back.
And that’s what’s happening with Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity, a Kickstarter-backed game that aims to bring back the Baldur’s Gate-style RPG of yesteryear. It’s a 2D isometric title where players control a band of adventurers and guide them through the fantasy world of Eora.
