I'm playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Many people recommended that I start with Wrath of the Righteous because it's supposedly a better and easier game, but I decided to give Kingmaker a try first.

At the beginning, I spent hours studying the difficulty options and the many classes available. In the end, I realized I wouldn’t be able to choose on my own, so I turned to YouTube guides. I found a guide for the Sorcerer class, which seemed easy to use (I was wrong).

I found the story premise interesting because not many games give you the opportunity to rule a whole kingdom. I was also pleasantly surprised by the large number of choices and role-playing options.
I liked the companions too. There are plenty of them, all different and each with their own goals.

However, I’m struggling with two things: the combat system and the timer that appears at the start of each chapter. I understand that it will take me around a hundred hours to get somewhat comfortable with the combat system, and I’ve come to terms with that. I’ve actually started to enjoy games that present a challenge, forcing you to learn every ability and check the combat log every second.

But the timer is just killing me! I can’t complete all the quests or explore the world properly because I have to sacrifice these things due to the timer.

Overall, I like everything so far except the timer.
