It's a cross between the divinity games and Baldurs Gate. the engine has been refined, the world is rich in detail and opportunity. The chartacters and voice acting are just among some of the best I've seen.
Still, as a game, it can be more considered a successor to Divinity: OS2, rather than BG2, A little less frustrating and more refined though, so if you were put off by the endless combat that required barrel pushing and precise tactical use of objects, you may enjoy the more DnD influenced combat presented here.
This was much needed after I was robbed for $90 by Blizzard for Diablo 4. Thank you Larian!
No micro transactions, no shady BS to squeeze extra money out of players. This feels like a game for players by players, not a bunch of corporate goons trying to maximize profits at the expense of the player experience the way Blizzard did with Diablo 4 (yeah I'm still salty that I wasted $90 + on D4).
I hope corporate developers take more and produce higher quality games going forward. Larian just proved to the world that it IS possible, and I'm grateful for them.
