Divinity II: Developer's Cut Reviews

👍👎

a very good rpg game

A one word summary would be "Frustrating". This really is a curiosity game of Larian's developmental history. It's a third person action RPG with plenty of jank (and the trawling of the internet to find the patch to remove the microstutter is essential). You, a dragon hunter, are bewstowed a power to become a dragon to take on some great evil (called Damian - couldn't make it up!). Too cliched in places, the autosave is atrocious and some of the fights are ridiculously unbalanced if you manage to fudge your build. A lot of this game is spent hacking away at an army and then retreating to a safe place waiting for your mana and hitpoints to creep back up so you can re-enter the fray. Some of the 'puzzles' are downright silly and the dialogue / tone of the game can be 'off' thanks to some 'humour'. Then there's the cardinal sin. Invisible walls. And they are aplenty. Morph into a dragon and then inexplicably get stuck. This is one of those games that I continuously fail to finish, pick it up again over a year later, start over and then realise why I lost interest in it in the first place. It's not a must-play by any means but it can be fun. Pick it up on sale, don't expect any polish and you'll probably be fine with it.

Stuttering, lagging, fps issues, crashes, technical hell, community mods improve but do not fix anything, waste of time and money, stay away! - played it back in the day on crt monitor and windows xp/7 it was working fine and it was a good game, sadly it does not work on modern operating system, components and 43 inch 4k monitor
