User Rating: 7 | Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition PC

Pros:

  • Combat
  • Unique and interesting spells
  • Characters
  • Lots of loot
  • Cool weapons/armor
  • Dialogue
  • Massive areas to explore
  • Graphics
  • Epic story and lore
  • Role playing
  • Hall of echoes
  • Unique environments

Cons:

  • Camera can be a little janky
  • Does not autosave enough
    • Have to go way to far back, be sure to manually save often
  • Arguably too big and long
    • It is a push to get through the 80ish hours. (There are plenty of games playable for far more than 80 hours, but this one begins to feel a bit slow and repetitive)
  • Identifying items is pointless
  • Some of the puzzles are just plain impossible without looking up
    • You need to use spirit vision, have high enough wits, do things in a particular order, etc.
