Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an absolute masterpiece of fantasy RPG games and a great starting point for new nerds as well as a solid choice for long-time fantasy nerds. Want a break from reality? Try Rivellon.

Larian Studios has perfected their already astounding game with Divinity: Original Sin II - Enhanced Edition. A role playing game packed with so much content, brimful with choices and some of the best characters you´ve seen this side of Baldur´s Gate 2. In fact, there´s so much in it, it´s easy to get lost and confused in such a huge and detailed world. Especially the inventory on the console version suffers from overview issues , but this is readily compensated with the great local coop mode. It´s a game that offers the player everything. And then some…

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the best turn-based RPG I’ve played in years. The combat is incredibly tactical due to the implementation of the two armour types and how they resist effects from skills, classless character progression offers an overwhelming depth and strategic flexibility which gives the game huge replay value, and buying new gear and levelling up requires so much consideration as there are lots of meaningful trade-offs. Personally, I found the narrative underwhelming, but it was of little consequence overall as DOS2 is a beautiful and immersive game, featuring a lengthy campaign with cooperative play and other multiplayer modes. It’s unfortunate the poor tutorials leave so much unexplained, and interface issues may cause frustration for some, but my time with DOS2 has been great, and I’d recommend it to anyone interested in tactical RPGs.

It's a fun experience and despite its bad music tracks, it has all the other requirements of a good game. The game has some fun features such as the PetPal spell- which allows you to talk with animals- and the Game Master mode. This is one of the few games I've played that presents a massive amount of content to the player. Surely it has a few bad things in some sections but still, if you love RPGs then you have to give it a try. I'm sure you are going to like it as much as I did.

Bigger, prettier and expanded in almost every regard, Divinity: Original Sin II is a captivating and addicting RPG epic and a worthy successor that's almost unmatched in freedom of choice and character progression, only ever-so-slightly inhibited by a badly balanced last quarter and a lack of boss fights and iconic music.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a serious candidate for best RPG of the generation and even of all time. Everything's done to perfection. The excellent combat is deep and rewarding. It's got a plot full of twists and turns passing the cliches of good and evil. It builds characters in the finest form. The quests are extremely open ended and dependent on player choice. So RPG lovers shouldn't miss Original Sin 2 and future RPGs have to go a long way to make those who finished Original Sin 2 satisfied.

Divinity Original Sin 2 delivers a true old school experience that reinforces the notion that classic CRPG games are back in fashion. With a deep and imaginative combat system and an overarching story, you will find immersed in a detailed world filled with hundreds hours of exploration and NPC talking with vast amounts of replayability.

Divinity: Original Sin II has expanded greatly upon its predecessor, addressing many of the complaints it once had and pushing the standard much farther away. It may not only be a must-play for fans of classic RPG's, but may prove to be one of the best games to help introduce those newer to the genre.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a perfect example of how to create a sequel. It took what the first game did well and ramped it up while fixing many of the original's annoyances. The freedom here is unlike anything I have come across in a long time, and the game is better for it. There are certainly some things that still don't feel quite right, in addition to various bugs, but this is easily one of the best RPGs of modern times.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a critical success on a persuasion test. At first, you can only feel enthusiasm in the face of such a majestic work, yet as the effects of the test begin to disappear you realize that something is wrong. With his latest effort, Larian Studios does everything a role-playing enthusiast would like from its ideal title, except to create an engaging and compelling story. This and a few problems too much in the balance of the combat system prevent Original Sin 2 from establishing itself at the top of the genre, while still remaining a great product.
