Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Best game I've played in a while

This review will be from the perspective of someone who hasn't played a turn-based game like this before or any of the previous releases of Divinity. Graphics: 9/10 Running on a 1080ti, I was surpised to see my card running at around 50-70% on maxed graphics for an overhead camera RPG. However, at max graphics, it is very polished. From high-quality detail, to various mechanics of tress blowing in the wind and elmental effects, I have no complaints. Audio: 10/10 The voice acting, sound effects, ambient sounds, absolutely AMAZING! Casting spells never get old as they all are filled with a sense of power. Gameplay: 8/10 This is by-far, the hardest to rate as this game is immensly in-dept. The story-line is top-notch, the various characters have quests/storylines that are tailored to them, and the quests are very in-depth to a level of the Witcher 3. While Devinity gives you ultimate freedom of completing your quests (everything from agreeing to the quest or just killing anyone you want), that's unfortuantely where I found it could have room for improvement. Because there's so much freedom, you might find yourself unknowingly wondering into an area well-above what you can handle or an area you were meant to be several levels ago. Both are equally frustrating as you get destroyed in the former and receive subpar loot in the latter. This is exacerbated by NPCs giving you quests that don't always pinpoint where you have to go. You might be told to find a certain character/location or perform an action to progress the quest, but aren't told exactly where to go. Thankfully, most of the time you're provided a specific spot on the map, but I was frustrated more than once because I wasn't sure where to go. Overall, it is incrediablly refreshing to see such an in-depth single-player game with 100+ hours of gameplay and superb replay value due to the various characters, quests-changing, and various builds you can do.
