Divinity 2: Developer's Cut

Buy it and it will make you suffer! Nope, this is not about the plot but the executable itself! Forget it, it won't run neither on Win7 64bit nor on Linux 22.04 with Wine 8.0. My only option left would be to try it on an extremely old laptop running on Win7 32 bit but after going through all that useless hassle to no avail, I'm not thrilled about the idea of going through that disappointment once again. :(

I couldn't really enjoy this the first time around. If you make a mistake early on with your character build, the game is a pain to progress through. Side quests are almost mandatory early on for the experience, and there is no originality or diversity in class customization; deviation from a specific combat style can hurt you earlier than you think. The story is not impressive, yet the side quests seem to be more interesting due to their lack of black and white decisions and the presentation of their choices. You have more involvement in the side quests than you do in the main quest, since after you gain your dragon abilities there is not much reward afterwards. The ending to the storyline had to be expanded upon in an expansion pack due to public disappointment with its outcome, which only serves to make the ending more bland in a generic victory sort of way. The protagonist is a happenstance hero and the villain shows up in numerous cut-scenes in front of the protagonist to give additional monologues. Never did I feel involved or interested in any major story character, even the story's wizard ally looks like a young guy with a white beard glued on in a Halloween costume. You feel really crippled at the beginning of the game, especially movement wise, and before you can fly as a dragon you have to do a lot of travel in areas that will become empty when you defeat all of the enemies. There are obvious invisible barriers around certain objects like trees where you would expect to stand closer to the object. There are a lot of little irritants to be had when playing Divinity 2, but I don't blame Larian for their first major foray from an isometric series to 3-D environments. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you are willing to spend time on it. It did not feel immersive or enjoyable enough to get past the flaws of this game after spending 40 hours of my time. I do not want to cast aspersions onto this game, but it needs to be said by at least one reviewer.

Game crash on launch. Couldn't get to play it. Seems like others are also having problems to launch the game on Windows 10

this game is deceptively bad. It realy dose weigh heavily on strenght of its writing which dose at several times come out to bite player in the arse. there are storybeats where player is just treated as incompetent and i can not abide that. (some storybeats, like plot twists) just claim the player stepped like a moron into trap... giving no tought to the possibility taht player COULD have and franky should ahve chosen different but game woudl not allow that. Some technical problems allso occur, like frequen crashes in SOME parts of the game, or inability to skip a cutscene even if it was watched (and mayhaps crashed after 15 minutes of game wanking story at player). Game dose sparkle with hummour tho especialy in mindreading one can have quite the hilarious revelations, i mean it has so much good charakter work that it dose almost break it into avarege ... almost. i think overall this is worthwhile buy if player is not (like i am) offended at concept that game hates player has some wants and needs, that game will treat you like moron and garbage if it pleases just because it wants to hit specific narrative point. and if it is on deep discount offcourse. there is a LOT of game here to be had, some decent variety of charakter bulding but... a lot of strange ways combat confuses me. it is not difficult per se just... strange for RPG and PC.

I do not know what else to say, besides what's in the title
