Divine Divinity

This is a great game, especially with the increased screen resolution compared to the original CD release of the game. However, the download is buggier than a Virginia summer. It crashes constantly.

The game doesnt work. I have contacted support multiple times for multiple issues (not just this game, none of my games work, galaxy doesnt work, everything from this piece of shit website doesnt work). Im trying to get a refund. Fuck this website is a joke, fucken scammers, give me back my money. DONT BUY ANY GAMES OFF THIS WEBSITE. THEY DONT WORK. Customer support dont help you either.

What can I say except the game chokes after a couple hours of my helpless struggle to make it run properly. My laptop runs Witcher 3 with nvidia hairworks with about 40-50 FPS during fights. So um... yea...

This is one of those RPG games from 2000s that didn't age well. The gameplay is pretty much like Diablo. You choose your job. You drag your mouse to move your character. You click your left and right mouse button on enemies to kill them. But so many wasn't done right. Like if you stand in the wild and an enemy comes by and attacks you, you won't fight back automatically. My biggest gripe is that this game was designed to *not* let you have an uninterrupted gameplay. You know how you are playing games like Mega Man, and you enter the boss room with just 1HP, you have only yourself to blame, right? You're not supposed to be hit (with proper skill) in a well designed ACT. (A)RPG is whole nother story. You ARE suppose to get hit. You get hit, you drink a potion or cast some recover magic or rest in a room. Recent games even gradually, although very slowly regenerates, based on difficulty. This game also lets you drink potion, but they're scarce. You won't find enough from enemy droppings or randomly on the ground before you level up. There's magic spell which can restore though, but as a warrior, I can only cast two or three before the mana runs out. And BTW mana also doesn't regenerates. Your character can rest on an unoccupied bed, or drop very heavy straws on the ground to make a bed. The straw bed can't be taken with you so it's unrealistic to go back to a previous made bed. Someone would say you can make potion from mushrooms on the ground, and there's a portable bed in the late game. Basically every workaround solution is in the late game, so what's the point? OK, I wrote too much. But check other comments about oversized map, boring quests, lame conversations, dull battle mechanics, stupid inventory management. Those are some valid points. The final straw for me is in a quest, a general gave me an (non-key) item and I lost it somewhere. I just can't bother myself to find it or apply some lost item recover method provided on the official forum.

The quests can just 'go wrong' and you neither fail nor achieve them, essentially you break the game. There are other recurring bugs which ruin what could have been a great game. This is why more testing makes GREAT games (think of anything Nintendo produces) rather than mediocre. The other reviewers are completely dishonest and almost certainly work. I do not believe that real gamers can just overlook glaring bugs. Why not employ people to repair the bugs in THIS game, rather than to write positive reviews and code sequels to a POS? So much potential is evident in this game that I will gladly do bug testing at minimum wage. That is the UK'S MINIMUM WAGE. Open?
