    Definitely not for everyone

    The bottom line is that Divinity Original Sin 2 is heaven-on-earth for D&D fans and/or gamers that love experiences that involves zero hand-holding and an extremely 'shades of grey' narrative and world. If that's you... Read Full Review

    Amazing game

    I didn't play DOS1, so everything was new to me, and I found the combat system amazing and, although complex, rewarding once you mastered the basics. Even after many hours of play, I was still discovering better ways to ... Read Full Review

    Boring as hell

    Way too complicated, not an actual action game but instead played in turns, and expensive. Way too many variables, everything is clickable (most of them useless) which makes it super inconvenient for console players.Sav... Read Full Review

    Its like getting into a commitment.

    It is difficult to review an RPG game after playing only once. For a game like Divinity Original Sin 2, it's nigh impossible. The sheer volume of options available to you here is outrageous. But what makes this game so ... Read Full Review

    It seems like it could've been a fun game, but not for me.

    Don't get me wrong, the fighting in this game was addictive (and fun to a certain point), especially with multiple party members as it tends to become chaotic and adds to the excitement. But after battling NPCs over and ... Read Full Review

    frustrating

    The game is somewhat good but repetitive and frustrating.Why there is no pause is beyond me. Trying to click on a walking person and accidentally stealing something because they move is just dumb programming. Wanting to ... Read Full Review

    Too many glitches/bugs in the hit box / battle system – wait for an update for PS4

    Sorry to destroy the positive vibes for this game, but to be honest I am not sure if the many user reviews are from people who have actually played the PS4 version...I am big fan of the Divinity series However, this pot... Read Full Review

    One of the best examples of the old skool RPG genre

    If you played Divinity: Original Sin 1, and enjoyed it, well this more of the same but better, so I don't know why you're reading this. Buy it now.If you haven't, then the decision might be a little more nuanced - but be... Read Full Review

    Purchased on the back of the 10/10 review

    Simply put, this is an excellent game but don't buy it on the back of the review on Gamespot. It's not a 10/10 game - it has many flaws that reduced my overall score.First, the story. It's just not that good. It needs co... Read Full Review

    Retro game for nostalgia lovers only

    Divinity Original Sin 2 is a top down RPG in a similar vein to Diablo etc but in 2017 the graphics are pretty poor, and game play is generic for this type of game. To make matters worse, combat is turn based. To be hon... Read Full Review
