Extremely Overhyped Divinity Game
The amount of social media propaganda surrounding this title is incredible. "Best game ever", or "the truest DnD PC adaptation" or "GOTY" chants ring through the decrepit pits that is the Internet. The game is mechanically very well done, it has at least somewhat interesting story. It is a DOS2 clone - no wonder since it's on the same engine - but that's, surprisingly, not detrimental, since the original material has always been turn-based. So don't listen to the "no BG if no RTWP" crowd - that is not it. The combat itself is actually good. It's professional, polished work. But that is about where the good things end. The story telling itself has horrible pacing - first you are told that everything is super urgent but of course you waddle around the world for ages. It's the similar trope to DOS2, but it was more believable there. Everything littered with useless loot that will clog your inventory, with UI fighting you all the way. Classic Larian, and veterans of DOS1+2 will remember. Dice rolls are everywhere and failure frequently equals instant death, so, you will be save scumming a lot by design. What a wonderful DM Larian is... Lots of liberties taken with the DnD implementation, too. If you want to see truly the truest implementation on PC, go play Solasta. But all of that is forgivable. What isn't, however, is what Larian did to the NPCs and our beloved characters from BG2. It's 2023, so, there are subverted expectations everywhere, everybody's edgy with some super duper dark secret. Because we can't have a classic simple high fantasy. And if you doubted for a second, this game is also extremely woke. Romances are not "LIMITED" by gender or race... so, ever wondered how would Minsc's romance look like in BG2? Well, he's bi... as is everyone else. So BG3 finally did it. The first woke game that is universally acclaimed. This is the endgame, people, and games like BG2 will NEVER return. If you want that experience, you will have to turn to the past.
