Fantastic game that has aged well

I first played this missed gem in 2010 and it quickly became one of my favorite games ever. Although gameplay is reminiscent of Diablo II hack and slash, world interaction, atmosphere and story brings to mind more traditional CRPGs. Graphics here are generally beautiful and I imagine with the higher resolutions they look fantastic. The huge array of quests and things to generally do in the open world of rivellon is at times amazing and if you tire of the main quest you'll have plenty to sidetrack you, most of well written and fun (rather than collect or fetch quests). The main quest is nothing new, but executed well and takes you on a fun journey. There is a lot of genuinely funny humour here, but it never feels forced or minimises the seriousness of the main quest. In terms of sound, the relatively sparse voice acting is inconsistent but overall serviceable. The music however is the best in any game I have ever played. period. The music really helps bring the game together and the atmosphere is just perfect in DD. This game is completely playable by the modern gamer and I would recommend to anyone. Just don't judge the game on its horrible title and play beyond the first dungeon (which is probably the reason it gets a bad rap as a crappy Diablo II clone) Enjoy!

Divine Divity - the RPG of RPGs!!

This was the most memorable rpg i have ever played. An amazing detailed story; many different enemies; a unique system for usage of items. For the latter its unique because in order to use certain items you have to build specific skills. Like wanting to use a big battle axe - you have to improve your strength. If you are one of those people that is too lazy to go through the story, than don't bother. You might as well go play some mundane, boring, and repetitive game like Diablo which offers nothing but mindless clicking. But i disgress. Divine Divinity has a long and very enjoyable story. You always feel on edge because you don't know when you will be attacked in many instances. Exploring for items and such doesn't get tedious because ther is ALWAYS some tiny story with a villager or a priest et cetera, to keep your interest and even help you find items. All in all you MUST play this and its sequel Beyond Divinity. Far superior to an RPG out today in every way.

Okay ... for the price

The bad: - spelling errors, quite a few - there is no "examine" ability and by clicking on an item you automatically steal it, prompting NPC aggression - plot developments seem to be copied from other RPGs, I had a hard time getting immersed - inventory system is clumsy The good: - voice acting: impressive (where it exists) - combat system: point, click, repeat until dead... simple and sufficient - cheap price

Great

This game is just great! It is hard, but then you will kick yourself when you realise that you need to plan your attacks, instead of rushing in. The graphics are a delight to look at, and the story is great too.

Most sophisticated Diablo-clone

This game is like Diablo, but with more depths and a more interesting storyline. I bought it for the story and the roleplaying, not for the hack'n'slash. And when I realized it actually features extensive dungeons with tons of mindless enemies, I stopped playing and never gave it a second try. Don't get me wrong: The graphics are great, the music fun, the characters well developed and the skill-system adds just enough juice to make you want to level-up. But I don't like playing games just to level up or get the next, even more powerful item. I like to play them for the story, to be immersed in the setting and the character or party I am exploring the game-world with. So this game is not my cup of tea. It looked promising: After all, I am probably not the only fantasy-fan who, while playing Diablo, thought how good the game could have been. I wanted a great game and got the most sophisticated Diablo-clone available. Bummer!
