    Great game, had so much fun on this through my multiple playthroughs. Set the ground work for the even better Divinity Original Sin 2.

    Very good game, with deep mechanics and a good freedom concept with scenery interactions.
    It lacks of a better history and deeper characters, also the items are not special, you always discard the old ones for the newer.
    Tactical turn-based combats are hard and tactically good with plenty of options, but tend to became boring.

    Original Sin is a classic turn-based RPG with deep customization, challenging combat, and a fascinating story. It's a must-play for fans of the genre.

    Amazing RPG: an immense amount of choice, and strategic combat that thrills and satisfies. The story is extremely in-depth, as is the in-game lore in general (discovered through NPC’s, books, documents, etc.).
    If you love RPG’s (particularly old school ones like Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age: Origins, etc.) pick this one up.

    Legendary RPG with a lot of customization elements and freedom to explore and choose your own path in this open world game. A lot of puzzles, a lot of dialogues and decisions to make. Tactical turn-based fights using environments such as barrels, rain, snow, etc. Never have I played a tactical game with so much tactical depth.

The attempt at creating a charming comedic tone is admirable but the execution leaves so much to be desired. Also there is some truly bad sections that feel horribly half baked. Progression also can be disjointed with weird sequencing issues. Generally a good game with a stellar combat system hampered by nearly every element that surrounds it. Expand

    In this game everything possible is done so that the player does not go through it to the end. Stupid puzzles, a bunch of meaningless text and other garbage. I put 5 only for the visual style.

    Графика - все очень красиво, придраться не к чему! - 10/10
    Ролевая система - вполне понятно, есть много вариантов прокачки, все навыки работают как надо - 8/10
    Лор, диалоги, наполнение мира, побочные квесты - Все супер, красивый фэнтезийный мир, все сделано с вниманием к деталям. - 10/10
    Вариативность прохождения, реиграбельность - есть квесты с различными вариантами решения, но их можно попробовать один за другим и выбрать что больше нравится. Второй раз проходить особого смысла не вижу. - 6/10
    Музыка, звук - Все (!) диалоги качественно озвучены, а их там немеряно! Молодцы ребята! Музыка тоже на высоте- 9/10
    Основной сюжет - ничего особенного, местами очень предсказуемо, но вполне неплохо - 7/10.
    Напарники - их всего 4, взять с собой можно только двоих, но каждый имеет что сказать во многих квестах, имеет собственную историю и связанное с ней задание. 7/10
    Крафтинг - крафтить можно все: оружие, броню, одежду, еду, питье, стрелы, бомбы, свитки, книги навыков. Рецептов и ингридиентов уйма, причем большинство придется пробовать и находить самостоятельно. - 10/10
    Взаимодействие с миром - максимальное. Я такого еще нигде не видел. Можно взять все предметы со стола (ложки, вилки, тарелки, сыр, фрукты, напитки). Можно передвигать мебель, камни, бочки, сундуки. Можно кидаться ими в противников. Использование стихийных заклинаний и бомб/стрел дает возможность для разнообразных комбо, например: кинуть бочку с маслом-поджечь огненной стрелой; облить врагов водой - заморозить/оглушить всех молнией. Налить воду на пол и заморозить - враги будут подскальзываться). И т.д. - 12/10

    A jogabilidade em turnos (usando pontos de ação) é muito boa, depois das primeiras horas, com paciência e pegando o jeito da gameplay se torna bastante divertida e desafiadora. No geral é um jogo com uma dificuldade acima da média (no modo clássico), porém justo.
    As possibilidades para resolver situações são extensas. Persuasão, combate, furtividade, habilidades de rogue, mágicas e etc.

    As possibilidades para resolver situações são extensas. Persuasão, combate, furtividade, habilidades de rogue, mágicas e etc. Muitas dessas ações afetam o mundo em volta dos seus personagens. É um mundo muito reativo. Dessa forma, é legal pensar bastante a cada escolha.
    A história é muito bem desenvolvida e o universo é bastante extenso, muito disso é entregue em textos colocados em livros ou em diálogos principais e sencundários.
    Os personagens são carismáticos, sobretudo os NPC's encontrados, mas os companheiros do grupo poderiam aparecer mais.
    Os gráficos são bonitos, mas os personagens nem tanto. A iluminação e as cores são muito bem trabalhados.
    A trilha sonora é boa, porém extremamente repetitiva. Não tem muita variedade e são dividas por locais, as vezes eu passava um tempo na cidade fazendo compras e upando os personagens e além do loop da música, tinha dos diálogos dos vendedores.
    Difícil encontrar problemas nesse jogo, recomendo a todos os fãs de CRPG.

    This would have been a 10. But because they screwed us over at the final boss. While playing in honour mode (new game if you die) The NPC died (normally NPC's can be revived) and we were game over. Did do a new playthrough tho, and still got the achievement "Never say die". But that's why I'm giving it a 7

    If somebody likes Baldur's Gate, Wasteland, Ufo series, this title could be too much like detective book or closer to Broken Sword, Monkey Island series (Both had more interesting story). Its not too complicated as Plan Escape Tournament. Detective like + Wizardy 8 map/enemies placement.

    Best thing is: art style, and nice game engine, lot of customization, other kind of battles. Worst:

    Worst: often stucking, too much barriers, reading, asking pointless walking, little too boring story (predictable unoriginal or too abstract/some way illogic). Linear progression, board game rpg rules could be too abstract, strange a specially oily rocks, physical armor maths, little wrong location of enemies. Little too random or world is too small, should been some world map like in Wasteland/Fallout/Ufo.

    Pros
    ------
    - Good story
    - Beautiful world
    - Excellent round-based combat
    - Save/Quickload possible at anytime, also during fights and dialogues
    - Great soundtrack
    - Great overall atmosphere

    Cons
    -------
    - Inventory management is tedious because there is no "all party members inventory", so you are constantly switching and shifting between party members
    - There are some puzzles that are just insane, for example you have to find a certain switch that you can only see if you drink a perception potion AND use a perception spell

    Compared to DOS2, the characters are funnier in DOS1, combat is actually better because simpler.

    For every RPG fan, this is a must play.

    Taking a step back from the fast paced games of modern day, Divinity is a slow paced role playing game with the feel of a table-top adventure.
    A long character customization to start the game with handcrafting your two main characters, you pick up with two Source Hunters whose main job is to find evil magic in the land and snuff it out. First quest starts with trying to solve the murder
    Taking a step back from the fast paced games of modern day, Divinity is a slow paced role playing game with the feel of a table-top adventure.
    A long character customization to start the game with handcrafting your two main characters, you pick up with two Source Hunters whose main job is to find evil magic in the land and snuff it out. First quest starts with trying to solve the murder of a town official that is believed to be linked to magic and the game spirals from there.
    This game is not designed for short play throughs. Walking into the first town and after 5 hours of conversations and picking up a plethora of quest chains….you might find yourself bored and confused as to which direction to start. Oddly part of the charm of the game is the world building and characters but the combat is what brings the entertainment.
    The Combat is turn based with each character getting a certain amount of action points each turn to move/cast skills. Elemental effects through spells can shape the battlefield and affect allies and enemies so be careful.
    This game was designed more for a couch Co-Op where two people can sit and try to solve a huge world roleplaying game over the course of many plays. I had started plays with friends a couple times but unfortunately life just happened to get in the way. I sat down recently and started a solo play through and made it to a point where I felt bored playing the game.
    My solo game was over 40 hours long, I reached level 15 and the story got to a point where I was kinda just stuck with little direction. Left me to look into the internet for answers and at that point I decided to just put the game down and be done with it.
    I wouldn't say this game is bad by any means. Just crunchy and heavy to get through. For people who really like old school style role playing games, this game is for you.
    Scoring:
    Story: 6 / 10
    Gameplay: 5 / 10
    Visual/Audio: 4 / 10

If you did the wrong build, you're done, you have to start over. I dumped nearly 40 hours into the game, and I'm finally stuck and can not continue, the only option is to start over. The second thing is the inventory management aspect, if you're playing with a controller, inventory management is really bad. The good news Is that there's a respawning enemy mod for this game, so if anyone is reading this review, install this mod before you play, because it requires you to start a new save for the mod to work.

    - Combat is fun. Especially different elements and their use, strategic skills.
    - High replayability.

    What I don't like;
    -NPCs are constantly talking and repeating the same things.
    - It can be difficult to control the characters sometimes. (Missclick)
    - Crafting books and hard to find necessary knowledge.
    - Crafting menu could be more user friendly.
    - (SPOILER) I didn't like the Dream part at the end of the game. While waiting for a nice combat, they put a puzzle section that is not nice.

    Overall it was a great game, I was never bored. It's an RPG game that really needs to be played. I definitely recommend.

    Muazzam bir sıra tabanlı rpg oyunu. Daha önce bu tarzda sadece Wasteland 2'yi oynamıştım ve çok beğenmiştim.

    Öncelikle DOS oynanış açısından çok çeşitli. Combatta veya başka zaman çevre ile etkileşim üst düzey. Her eşyaya etki edebiliyorsunuz. Eşyaların da birbirleri ile etkileşimi güzel ayarlanmış. Bir düşmanı yağ varili ile yağlayıp üstüne alev atarak yakabiliyorsunuz. Ya da yanan bir dostunuzu yağmurla söndürebiliyorsunuz. Ancak etrafınız su birikintisi olduğu için düşman yıldırım attığında tüm ekibiniz şoklanabiliyor gibi şeyler. Zaten combat sistemi genelde bu tarz elemine etme üzerine. Benim iki wizard'ım vardı, dayanıksız oldukları için düşmanı şoklayarak veya dondurarak bir şekilde bir kaç tur etkisiz kalmalarını sağalamaya çalıştım hep.
    Eşyalarla etkileşim bulmacalarda da kendisini gösteriyor. Eşyaların altında gizli kapıyı açacak düğme gibi şeyler arıyorsunuz.
    Ekibinizi kurarken herkesin farklı alanlarda uzmanlaşmasına dikkat etmek gerekiyor. Bir kilit açıcı, bir zanaatkar, bir bilge, bir algısı yüksek kişi gibi. Çünkü oyunu tamamlamak için bunlar mutlaka ve üst seviyede gerekiyor.
    Oyunun hikayesini çok beğendim. Başta bir cinayeti çözmek için bir kasabaya geliyoruz. Oradan olay dallanıp budaklanıp, madende köle çalıştıranlara, orman ruhuna, dört mevsimin elemental tanrılarına, uzay-zamanı yutacak hiçlik ejderhasına falan gidiyor. Bunun yanında her yerde küçük küçük hikayecikler de var. Bazen iki kedinin arasını yaparken buluyorsunuz kendinizi, bazen de kasabayı ele geçirmiş ve aynı amaca hizmet eden ork ve insan gurubunu birbirine düşürürken. Alakasız bir yerde bulduğunuz gereksiz bir eşya, ileride bir görev için olmazsa olmaz olabiliyor mesela.

    Hikaye çok güzel ama etki etme oranımız çok düşük. Wasteland 2'de meseleleri çok farklı şekilde ele alabiliyorduk. DOS'ta ise genelde bir veya iki yapış şekli var ve bizim onları bulmamız isteniyor. Bulmamız isteniyor diyorum çünkü oyun, oyuncunun elinden hiç tutmuyor. Diyalogları dikkatle dinlemezseniz sırada nereye gideceğinizi bile bilmiyorsunuz. Haritada gideceğiniz yerin gösterilmesi olayı çok ender oluyor. Okuduğunuz kitaplardan veya diyaloglardan ne yapacağınızı sizin arayıp bulmanız gerekiyor. Ya da benim yaptığım gibi Youtube'dan.

    Oyunun diyalog kalitesi üst düzey. Seçtiğimiz iki ana karakter bile kendi aralarında diyaloga giriyor. Oralarda da kendi seçiminizi yapmanız gerekiyor. Karşılaştığımız npc'ler ile ya da düşmanlarla girdiğimiz muhabbetler de ilgi çekici. Sonradan ekibimize kattığımız iki elemanın hikayeleri de oldukça ilgi çekici ve hayattaki amaçları bir şekilde ileride hikayemizle kesişiyor.

    Envanter düzenlemek oyunun ortalarından itibaren bıkkınlık vermeye başlıyor. 4 ayrı karakterin her kıyafetini veya silahını düzenlemek, uygun olanı doğru karaktere vermek, bir denge tutturmaya çalışmak vakit alıyor. Level atladıktan sonra 1 saat skill puanı verme ve envanter düzenlemeyle uğraştığımı bilirim.

    Bulmacalar oyunun sonunda sapıtıyor. Sonlardaki bulmacaları çözmem ömrümü alırdı açıkçası. Neyse ki Youtube var.

    Sonuçta karakterleriyle, hikayesiyle, lore'u ve oynanışıyla harika bir oyun var karşımızda. 100 saate yakın bir deneyime göre neredeyse hiç sıkmıyor ve birbirinden ilginç maceralarda saatin nasıl geçtiğini anlayamıyorsunuz.

    The game literally is not playable. I am a huge fan of divinity 2 and baldurs gate, but this game is not balanced, every trap kills you instantly and the your combos doesn't always work as they should. Most of the times I find myself saying ' hey why didn't it work this time?'. Don't buy it, go play baldurs gate 3 or divinity 2.
