Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Reviews

Great gameplay, a slow but fantastic story and bones that would lead to Divinity Original Sin 2. One of the great games that went before DOS 2 and BG 3.

If you like old school puzzles and punishing mecanics and janky game play this might be for you! If you don't like to search for pixel to click to then have to find three orhers to ope a door, or wait minutes after every combat to heal your party. Ohh and you need to collect tokens to open door near the end so dont use them to heal pack animals or your party, just hoard them. This is not for a modern gamer! Save your time and money unless you want to impress your uncle who thinks Icewind Dale the last good RPG

Played this ages ago when it first released on PlayStation. Never really got into it. Now, after playing DoS2 and BG3 I picked this up to have another go. Man, it's so great to see the bones of those games alive and well in this one. The Enhanced Edition might have done some trickery to make it more accessible, I honestly can't remember how it played before... just that now I'm loving the game whereas before it confused and frustrated me. You can really see the bones of the later game systems in this, and Larian's humour and excellent writing are on full display here.

One of the greats, its a shame that it doesn't get the attention it deserves. Definetely a banger, if you like tactical combat, do yourself a favor and grab this, the elemental combinations alone are satisfying af.

Everything is as good as the second game, just a little lacking in QoL. Still definitely would recommend.

Great old school party turn-based cRPG, with two "main" playable characters and a number of secondary characters to fill the party of four (unless going for Lone Wolf trait/achievement). A lot of passion has gone into this game, and it shows throughout: all of the dialogue is very well voiced, graphics are pleasing to the eye, but what really stood out for me is the phenomenal musical score. What I disliked is the targeting UI, which too much depends on the "state of the world" (in the sense of 3D models). For example, if the idle animation makes the character you are targeting temporarily move away from the cursor in the last millisecond before you click, you will misclick, issuing the move command instead. This is emphasized by the strict camera controls inside of combat - one can only rotate, but not pan the camera (at least not in a way known to me) - making the accurate targeting in the heat of battle hard to impossible in some cases. One other caveat is related to the "Enhanced Edition", which has a lot of fundamental changes towards the end of the game, making most of the available guides obsolete. I had to improvise solving the puzzles leading to the finale, and in the last fight. Overall an awesome addictive ~100h ride. I wholeheartedly recommend Divinity: Original Sin to any cRPG fan.

Baldur's Gate 3 etkisiyle geç de olsa girdim bu seriye ve iyi ki öyle yapmışım. Oyunun büyük bir kısmını müthiş bir keyifle oynadım. Büyük bir kısmını diyorum çünkü oyunun son 10~15 saati felaket sıkıntılı geçti. Oyun sizi çok uğraştırıyor çünkü son 10 saatinde, en basit bir mekana girmek bile işkence hale geliyor, ana görevde basit bir objektifi yerine getirmek için sürekli dene yanıl yöntemiyle o bölgede ne yapacağınızı çözmekle uğraşıyorsunuz ve bu hiç keyifli değil. İnternette biraz araştırdım ve baktım ki pek çok kişi benimle aynı şekilde düşünüyor, oyunun son çeyreğinden kimse memnun değil anlaşılan. Üzücü yani, ilk 40 saatim ne kadar keyifli geçtiyse son 10~15 saatim de bir o kadar tatsız geçti. Son olarak bir not geçmek istiyorum, eğer oyunu oynama planınız varsa sürekli ama sürekli F5 ile hızlı kayıt alın derim. Hayatımda gördüğüm en çok tuzak barındıran oyun bu olsa gerek, her yerde tuzak var ya her yerde. Geliştirici ekip işin bokunu çıkarmış gerçekten. Sandık açıyorsunuz hop sandık patlıyo yandın kardeşim, normal yürüyosunuz hop yanınızdaki varil patlıyo geçmiş olsun kardeşim, hayır bu tuzakların bazıları direkt öldürüyor bir de, can yenileyip hayatta kalma şansınız da olmuyo, yakalandınız mı son save'e yolluyor seni oyun ve bu bir noktadan sonra fena can sıkıyor.

Honestly, I enjoy it more than OS2. A bit more complex, more RP, love character interactions.

Me and my buddies are playing through all of Larian Studios' turn-based RPGs, starting with this one, then Divinity 2, and finally Baldur's Gate 3. I know there are other games, but yeah... this was my first TRPG that I actually enjoyed because of how engaging it was. The story was alright, and the music and voice acting were great. The graphics are nice too; I think this game hits a sweet spot where it looks good enough without being too hard on your GPU (it runs fine even on a potato! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try out this game, its a great time with your friends.

A good game overall with good enough story as well as okayish written dialogues and upto an extent functional humor. However, the game had A BIT more issues: The combat mechanics are frustrating at best. The bar that shows you when it's your turn or the enemy is never consistent. Clicking around the battlefield is a nuisance, it's extremely easy to misclick. Sometimes when enemies are bunched together it's actually impossible to click on them. The visibility mechanic with smoke clouds was not consistent. The dialogue is convoluted. Maybe convoluted is the wrong word. It's 70% unecessary. I wanted to get into the story, really immerse myself with characters and what was going on. But I found myself really frustrated with all the extra flavour. Don't get me wrong, adding some character to the dialogue is important but when I'm reading three paragraphs for what boils down to "report this to another person" you end up starting to skip dialogue. but because of all the unecessary dialogue I was basically forcing myself to read it just to try to immerse myself. Half way through the game I REALLY wanted to just play the game and not read/listen to anything but I kept at it hoping it would pay off.
