Pathfinder Kingmaker is a real home run by Owlcat, in my opinion. It's not perfect, but given the actual size and experience level of the developers, it's really ambitious and impressive. I think their next game will be spectacular.
As for Pillars 2, I think it's a very well made game that improves upon its predecessor considerably, yet I've struggled to finish a playthrough of it. The whole ships/pirates/Pacific islands/age of sail theme doesn't interest me at all, unfortunately. It's definitely a great RPG, but it never seems to hold my interest long enough to complete it.
The game that I REALLY liked in this new renaissance of isometric CRPGs was Tyranny. Original setting, memorable companions, intriguing story, cool magic system. It did a lot of really neat stuff. I'm sad that it probably will never get a sequel.
But Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely blowing me away so far. Yes, there are some ridiculous Larianisms throughout it, and some questionable house rules. But despite those things, I feel like it's hugely better than any of Larian's prior games, and a true, new flagship D&D title like we haven't had since, well, the Infinity Engine era.
I found Tyranny too short and had walls of text like Pillars, too dense. BG3 already has avoided that trap for the most part (explanatory books excepted). Pathfinder Kingmaker could have used a better editor, there was a lot of dialog vomit. The story's good though.
I hope BG3 and Stadia can get to those levels of story that we're referring to.
