Ive been playing this game off and on since release. One of the scant handful of games ive played more than once. Maincampaign is amazing and Phantom Liberty is some of the best video game writing ever.
Let get the bugs out of the way first. I've played roughly 40 hours, mostly on Stadia but some on GoG on my laptop as well. I've noticed a few graphical glitches like a person holding a phone in her hand but the phone moves 2 feet away from the hand when the hand moves. The car handling isn't great, but I've noticed some cars are easier to drive than others. Once or twice I've had to reload a save to get around weapons not reloading or doors that won't open (I think they fixed the former in the latest patch). I have full confidence they will fix most or all of these issues over time, just like ever other game does. As any old time gamer will tell you, save frequently and often in multiple slots because that is often the best way around some of these early bugs. None of this detracts from the beauty and immensity of this game. Now that's out of the way. The setting is awesome, the music is fantastic, and the quests are fun. The story so far is interesting and the side quests are also interesting and fun. The city is a huge diverse playground with tons of neat little things to see and do. It is alive and vibrant and colorful. I find myself drawn to this game over and over again and am excited to see what DLC comes out for it once I finish all the tons of things to do in this place.
I played this after Divine Divinity, skipping Beyond Divinity, in anticipation for Divinity: Original Sin. I really enjoyed Divine Divinity, but this game thoroughly surprised me. It had the same wit as Divine Divinity, and there is so much to see and do. The game was well executed and worth the time to play it. It does start off a little slow, but after a few hours it opens up and continues to get better and better all the way through to the end. Lots of choices, great voice acting, very good graphics, great story, and many ways to play. The expansion is fun also, adding several more hours of play, but it does not have quite the same caliber of polish that the main game has. Well worth the money.
