After 5-6 hours it gets too repetitive, once you get on the big map it is constant skipping of battles that you don't participate in. (10-20sec waste/round) save-scumming is a must, especially on hard difficulty, saving before making a decision is also a must. When attacking an area it does not happen immediately so the enemy can respond by sending additional units, you can't, so you always have to overkill with a 3x bigger army to actually have a chance. The game pushes real-life issues on the player even though it plays in a fantasy world; - for example, banning or allowing religious teachings in schools. The only issue is that the 7 gods actually exist there... - having to deal with constant sexist, homophobic, feminist companions by calming them down (Every second turn (2-5min) at least one of them has an existential crisis) The game also portrays different races as different types of ideologies. - the dwarves' only value is gold, they would not mind destroying the environment if they could save gold, they are also sexist and homophobic. - the undead (they are not even a god-made race according to the lore) is a very conservative, religious, and homophobic race - the elves are the green + stop oil community, while they are progressive in terms of rights, they loathe anything that is not natural like a god damned trading route. - lizards are the diplomats who want steady progress and equality for all - imps are imps, the only race who actually feels like part of the world. Whilst playing this game I don't feel like I'm in Rivellion, I feel like I'm in a room with the most argumentative politically active groups. It is a waste of time, but for those who are bored, this might be a good choice. I see some reviewers who like the real-life political choices, but as a fan of the actual divinity lore and a student of political philosophy, I find that part amusing.
The concept that my HP is draining every second, so even if I reach the last phase of a bossfight withouth being hit once i still can't allow myself to being hit is unreasonable. Aiming I see a croshair? during loading screen, yet it's not there while fighting.. I don't know what the developers intended aiming-field but the hardest part of this game is to constantly hit the target no joke. IMO aiming is very bad in this game, while the main concept is that the faster you finish the phase the more hp you will have for the next, does not make sense. Tried both mouse and controller and both kinda sucks. There is an easy mode and I felt terrible beating the boss like that You could beat anything blindfolded just circiling around lol.
