Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Finished the game with a free copy, bought the game just to support the devs. Easily one of the best RPGs ever made.

I've only played a couple of hours on normal difficulty, and I cannot fathom why a game so poorly designed is so positively reviewed. There is litterally nothing about it that a tabletop rpg guy would like. The open-ended design is negated by the progression structure: you have to do certain things in order to be able to progress further, whether it is gathering new party members, grinding XP to pass difficulty checks, etc. There are good and bad ways to accomplish quests, with punishment for the latter. The game mechanics rely essentially on savescumming and foreknowledge. The production value is here, but there is no competent role playing game to be found.

Hate the launcher. What's the point? To inform me of Larian's other games? I already knew, and there are better ways to do that without forcing a separate application on me. Oh I see you're also selling merchandise, that might have something to do with it also perhaps? The game's great, it's more of what made the first one great and that's exactly what I wanted. I don't want another pointless launcher. If Larian removes the launcher I'll gladly update my review to the 4-5 stars the game deserves.

Game took 190 hours for me to fully finish. If you are like me and like to leave no stone unturned this game is for you! So many cool places to go and gear to find. This was my first time playing a turn based style game and boy did it not disappoint!
