Dragon Age's challenged brother

Considering both games were launched the same year it's quite unbelievable that Divinity 2 is so behind in all fields. The game is entertaining and you may like it if you can forgive the numerous flaws of this game. What you can enjoy about this game is that it's quite old school and purely focused on entertaining (which is rare lately). It has a decent leveling system where every stat matters and a wide variety of skills as well as the possibility of turning into a dragon. It also have plenty of features like having your own headquarters which you can improve over the course of the game. It's all a great concept with huge potential but the delivery is rather poor. First of all, the worst part, the combat is clunky and unresponsive. You get stuck everywhere, your combos can get interrupted by terrain or invisible collisions, your summons can block you from using many abilities, sometimes skills don't connect and the enemy have too many undodgeable skills which some of them leave you impaired for way too long leaving you extremely vulnerable to get killed by a boss or a gang of foes. The humor is too childish and cheap, the characters are very cliché like the classic wizard with pajamas and a hat and their personalities are very dull. The pace of the game is painfully slow both in terms of narration and action. There are times when you have to follow a character that's walking like a snail with a very epic song on the background. It takes forever. The controls are awful and frustrating. Controlling the jumping distance is the hardest thing and will often get you on your nerves. The dragon thematic seems forced most of the time and doesn't make you feel like it should, since all ground enemies disappear when you turn so you can't wipe them out, ending up being more a way of transportation than anything else. Overall it's entertaining if you know what you get.

One of the Best Unknown RPGs

I played this game years ago, and it was one of the best RPG experiences I've ever had. Admittedly, the game does start a little slow, but once you get past the first zone, after the initial training zone area, the story really picks up and it's an amazing story to ride through, with a very satisfying end. The story, thankfully, isn't as generic as many/most RPGs are, and I was gripped to keep playing nearly non-stop over a span of a few days to finish it. If you're looking for a great, relatively unknown RPG you can sink yourself into for the weekend, pick it up! It's usually on sale for just a couple of bucks, and well worth it!

Fantastic unique RPG

It's 2023. Is this game worth it even now? Yes. The game still has lots to offer. A lot of genuine love and care went into it, as is shown by colorful characters, unique atmosphere and an overall mood that not many games have. The studio succeeded in converting a DnD adventure into a 3D RPG adventure. Full of combat, great dialogue, and many creative puzzles and riddles. Fantastic music, art direction, voice acting, and brilliantly written quests that often question your morality and immerse you into this unique world. It is 100% worth playing through!! The whole game is held back by one single horrible decision. Your hero gets stronger by leveling up, by spending XP. To gain this XP, you can either beat enemies, which don't respawn and don't give much, or you'll take and finish quests. Those give out much more, and are your main XP income. Except the quests can very quickly end. If you don't accept it right away, or pick a non-eager attitude, the NPC may not give it to you. Ever. Or they may ask you to kill another character you really like. Or do something your roleplayed character wouldn't do, like stealing, lying, bullying others. Or, on the other hand, pushing nonsense law onto innocent people and making them miserable. But there is no alternative for you. You NEED the XP, and by refusing or missing out on quests, you get SIGNIFICANTLY weaker by not having enough XP to keep up with the game's ramping difficulty in combat situations, which are also forced onto you. There are also "optimal" ways to solve certain quests. You get a choice between A and B, but aren't told that A gives double rewards. So if you happen to symphatize with B, you are getting punished by the game for roleplaying wrong and once again miss out on potential gear, money, and XP. This strange decision together with lower level enemies giving significantly less XP railroads you heavily in an otherwise great RPG with tons of choices. Only some choices are objectively better than others.

Surprised with Gameplay, great game

Before beginning DD2 I only played the first DD, Beyond Divinity and DD original sin. Original Sin is very interesting but not action oriented... The two first games have in common to Then I stepped into this game which is action oriented, and with an interesting story. You see the old friends Zandalor and Zixzax (hated in first DD). I am still in the maxos tower, and I find the game very fun to play. The character can jump very high, dodge the magical attacks. You can jump, fall, explore the map As every Divinity, you can invest in the skills you want, there are only level caps to obtain a skill. (but no entry skills like in dragon age, when if you want to have mana clash you have to get three useless skills) The graphics are Ok, the level design is good. Some puzzles quite complicated. Also, at the middle of the game, you can restore your skills points, so you don´t have to be afraid to spend points or try several skills. Regarding the bugs, the only one I encoutered in this version is a when loading an area takes forever... but there are automatic saves. Now I fear that we will never have a Divinity 3... First DD were isometric, and one character controlled, beyond D. has 2 characters to control, Divinity 2 has a third person and action gameplay... The Original Sin games had quite a success, changing the gameplay to a version that make me think of a dragon age, but with turns... It seems that finally this formula worked in a sales and critics point of view.

An overlooked gem of an RPG

Anyone who loves RPGs with a sense of humor that doesn't take itself too seriously you must own this game! This game has been and will be overlooked to the likes of Skyrim and The Witcher 2 but I feel that this game can hang with the "big boys". Its a newer RPG with an old school feel and that is reason enough to buy this game!
