As the game indicates, it is based on the Ken Follett's historical novel that was published some 30 years ago.
But a good story never fade away.
The Pillars of the Earth tells a breathtaking, beautiful and loveable story. This is more of an adventure game than the usual click-and-point-collect-to-solve-puzzles genre of game, the story is well developed and alternated for a video game, heavily story driven, and each chapter has an independent title that keep it to the point.
There are so many things to love about this game: The epic story, rich maps, loveable characters, detailed graphic, even insights about life in the Middle Age. What I love the most is how Philip of Kingsbridge sees through things. He enlightened me a great deal.
