Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

Objective review Play-time: 179 hours, 42 minutes 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story great gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist -1 of 5 avoid Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition score is 2 of 5. Subjective Review Winning this game took everything I had. The Final Battle took A LOT of strategizing, and many, MANY attempts, but as always, the harder the battle the sweeter the victory. If a tough RPG is your kind of game, you won't be disappointed. A minor complaint; having the text boxes cover the screen was annoying. The graphical display is great! Why cover it up? I love the final achievement; "You have completely and utterly finished the game" or something to that effect. Very polished, no bugs, no crashes. An epic! Like I stated though, it is not for the feint-hearted, if you would like to finish it to the end. But if you manage to, you'll be glad you began the journey. And a journey it is!

Lubię takie rpgi. Klasyka w dobrym wydaniu.

Wow. I loved Larian. Past Tense. This game is such a bloody mess, it's not even funny anymore. Multiple crashes per play session, some things just stop working or glitch out after an hour of playing, like the crafting system, where all of a sudden certain recipes stop working altogether, or newly created stuff lacks 100% of the stats bonus it should have and already had some levels before. Multiplayer is even worse. The only challenge on co-op ist actually getting the game to display correctly, so have fun playing a rogue when you are not hosting. The game keeps displaying back arcs differently for host and partner, but ofc, for calculation only the actual (hosts) perspective is taken into account. This is supposed to be the "enhanced" edition, this plays like a goddamn alpha draft. So apart from multiple bugs, glitches and frustrating bullocks that simply does not allow you to access certain core mechanics of the game all of a sudden, who is surprised that some NPCs get stuck in infinity loops, always triggering their "first encounter" dialogue with you, EVERY TIME you want to talk to them. As usual the story is extremely interesting and the game is OK - not good or excellent, just OK - but the way nothing actually works like the game presents it and 90% of it glitches out after an hour or so is just a joke. Larian has become Bethesda 2.0 and this game is their Fallout 76. Except there actually IS content. It's just not working anywhere NEAR what you expect of a finished game, even less so of an "enhanced edition". The core mechanics are nothing really special and the only way the enemies are challenging is essentially the engine cheating, e.g. every standard enemy wizard has like 14 AP at least, while your dudes can't realistically have more than 8 at this stage of the game. _______ TL;DR: Lovely worldbuilding, good story, much attention to detail, but suffering from it's incompetent core mechanics and multiple bugs, barring you from core mechanics.
