I've found the Pathfinder Kingmaker video game to be playable and enjoyable, but I've been willing to save scum. I had a friend start the game with the initial release and he found it painful with all of the bugs. I started around 6 weeks ago and it has been smooth enough.
You will stumble into encounters that you weren't expecting. If you're not willing to revert back to a saved game then you'll have a lot of game to replay. If I faced that I would probably bail on the game, instead. There are timed goals. If you take too long, you lose. If you're mindful of those you should do okay. If you don't want the hassle you can edit the game file and change the game date, add cash, or whatever it takes to keep the game fresh for single player.
The only thing I don't care for are the built-in characters and their various missions. I paid to create my own team, but I still have to run "the goofballs" around from time to time and my own team cannot act as kingdom advisers.
