Does an admirable job of capturing the era, setting and the characters of this iconic piece of fiction. I can't wait to see how Book Two unfolds, and can only hope Daedalic find a way for the gameplay to match the presentation.

The Pillars of the Earth has its mechanical flaws, and it doesn't translate seamlessly from medium to medium due to technological constraints, but that aside it's a truly gorgeous experience. The art, music, and voice acting all come together as one to blend this story into one that transcends the pages upon which it was originally written, making it a very unique and interesting experience.
