The company operates almost exclusively on PC for Microsoft Windows across 13 titles, while reaching console players with releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The studio released three games in the 2010s and nine in the 2020s. Their first project, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, launched in 2018 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. This title is described as a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. The company followed this up with Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous in 2021, which also used Kickstarter funding. Both titles are CRPGs that have found a dedicated audience. The average IGDB rating across their six rated titles is 78.6 out of 100. Their quality trend shows consistency at the high end with no poor or mixed rated games in their tracked data. They have two great-rated games scoring 80 or above and four good-rated games between 60 and 79. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous holds a score of 87.2, while Pathfinder: Kingmaker sits at 76.3. Their most recent major release, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Void Shadows from September 2024, achieved a perfect 100/100 score on the platform. The base game Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader released in late 2023 with a score of 77.2. However, their track record is not entirely flawless across all recent outputs. Rue Valley, released in November 2025, scored 63.6, placing it on the lower end of their good rating range. Future releases include Shadow of the Road scheduled for December 2026. The company continues to expand its portfolio into new IP while maintaining its focus on deep, text-heavy role-playing experiences.
