    긴 호흡은 언제나 장단이 있다. 숨이 가파져 그만둘수도 있지만 잘 따라가기만하면 그 끝에는 가슴벅찬 순간이 따라올수 있음을 증명한 작품. 쉽지 않았을텐데 코옵으로 만들어주는 제작사가 개인적으로 참 고맙다, 안그러면 나도 이 명작을 엔딩까지 달리지 못했을듯.

I still do not like the font. The annoying NPC banter is also still present, but all and all, these are pretty minor things. There is almost an endless number of ways how to setup your party and characters. That together with very non-linear quests means great replay value. The difficulty can vary depending on your party setup, but all things considering it is more consistent than in the first game. They stay out of microtransactions, which is great, although the SJW crap has definitely stronger presence in this game than in the first one. We now have black dwarves, lesbian blacksmiths, markswomen, dwarven queendom and other treats. What a great little progressive fantasy world.

    In my opinion it is a great example of how to make a sequel of a successful game. Final verdict: 82 %    … Expand

    This feels like playing a tableop RPG more than any other game ever has. Such a detailed and deep world full of secrets to find, ancient dungeons to explore and baddies to strike down in super satisfying turn based combat.

    The only complaint I have is that there is too much focus on the origin characters and making a custom character makes you feel like you are missing out on content.

    A great game that you can spend hours and hours playing! Only complaint is that it can get too complex and vague at times, making it difficult to move forward unless you look it up online. Also if you sell an important item without really realizing it, good luck trying to find that sucker again.

Это не просто РПГ в которой создание персонажа заканчивается на выборе внешности и класса, это нечто большее! Геймплей этой игры, это старая добрая пошаговая стратегия, выполнена довольно качественно. Боевая система в этой игре крайне неплоха, есть много разных заклинаний, которые можно комбинировать друг с другом, и наносить просто невероятный урон врагам. Самое важное в этой игре, это диалоги, большую часть игры ты просто читаешь, диалогов очень много и выполнены они неплохо. Я играл в довольно раннюю версию, и были некоторые проблемы с переводом в некоторых моментах, надеюсь сейчас эту проблему исправили.
    Захватывающая история. Играть в эту игру впервые крайне интересно, слушаешь и читаешь абсолютно все диалоги. У каждого персонажа своя история, каждый ощущается как человек, а не просто бот. По ходу игры будут встречаться много второстепенных персонажей и все они проработаны не хуже основных, за что разработчикам отдельный респект. В игре очень много всего, и чтобы всё изучить понадобиться явно больше ста часов. Очень много необычных заданий, которые можно просто пропустить, но если ты пропускаешь задания в игре с подобным жанром, то лучше тебе сменить игру. Миссии выполнены на высочайшем уровне, как основные так и второстепенные, видно, что разработчики постарались и наняли хороших сценаристов. Взаимодействие с миром, неотъемлемая часть игры, и здесь всё выполнено на высочайшем уровне. Можно разговаривать с животными, духами, можно решать вопросы как разговорами, так и вступив в бой с оппонентом. Да и в целом, как проработан открытый мир мне понравилось, нету таких локаций где нужно просто пробежать, и там никогда ничего не случится, не в этой игре не так. Я бы не назвал мир огромным, но он не маленький, и на его изучение уйдёт очень много времени.
    Атмосфера просто выше всех похвал, то как сделан мир, а эта музыка просто нечто.
    Графика неплохая, в совокупности с оптимизацией всё отлично, игра выглядит красиво, современно и не режет глаз, игра не лагает, с этим всё отлично!
    Так же в игре есть минусы, самый главный минус, по моему мнению, это то, что без воровства практически невозможно получить топовый лут.
    В итоге, если ты ценитель жанра, то нужно обязательно сыграть, это просто ВЕРШИНА, лучше пока что нету, скоро выходит Baldur’s Gate III от этого же разработчика, и я надеюсь, что будет как минимум не хуже! С учётом всех плюсов и минусов, я считаю что это твёрдая 10, шедевр!    … Expand

    This is a turn based combat co-op story roleplaying game. Combat, magic, thievery, swords, potions and monsters.

    This game masterfully combines many common aspects of roleplaying games and turns it into the ultimate experience that people ask for, a persistent world you and your friends can destroy, or save.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing DoS2, on any difficulty really, is kind of like playing a game with a spoiled child, who constantly makes tiny adjustments to the game and rules to fit their game and hinder yours, in the most infantile ways possible (very annoying).

    The game offers plenty of options and variety, simple level up system, plenty of spells and skills, items and ways to power all of those up, mix them up or craft with them. Regardless, you can`t help but feel you`re often pulling at the short end of the rope (especially at the hardest difficulty). Played with 4, 2 and also 1 character, but I ended up finding the combat to be rather restrictive and repetitive as you cannot really try things without having to reload the combat, since one wrong move often changes the tide of the battle. At some point, playing with 4 characters becomes rather boring and with 2 characters (lone wolfs) become extremely repetitive and down right nearly impossible at times (I mean, have you visited Devourer at level 18, for example?).

    + On the bright side, game offers a very rich, deep and interesting story with twists and decent plotting, with many ways to go through it (chatter, sneak, deception, etc.), with plethora of, often, interesting side quests for more complete experience. Myriad of spells and skills helps you navigate through the world even outside the combat, during sneaking or exploring or simply manipulating the world around you.

    - On the downside, the game massively looses with the removal of narrated PCs. The dialogues are unnecessarily long, often boring and many times not needed at all. With literally everything, that has voice, narrated apart from your characters, a lot of the game`s mood and feeling of actual interaction is lost if not killed completely. That`s very bad, as this was not an issue in DoS1.. This makes interacting with NPCs, the most boring and annoying part of the game. You spent hours, upon hours of listening to pointless monologues and pages and pages and pages of flavor text and of course, you yourself will be reading pages and pages text. For me, this is a total mood killer, I remember that I started to dread interacting with NPCs after Driftwood, in my fist gameplay and kept hating these interactions throughout all other gameplays, too.

    Overall, slightly better than DoS1 in some ways, slightly worst in other - 7.5/10    … Expand

    I had some jolly good fun playing this game with my pals. Would recommend if it goes on sale and the battle system is quite enjoyable. There is a lot you can do in this game and anyone can play how they like since it’s a very flexible game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games I have ever played in my life.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is a masterpiece in every way. It has been a long time that I played a game so unbelievably beautiful, well made and fun as this one.

    In Divinity: Original Sin II, you are pulled in into a massive story, full of lore, past events and former rules. The story is huge and detailed, but if to sum it up, you play as a Sourcerer who has been captured by the Magisters, an order that wants to rid the world of source. Sourcerers command divine like powers that make them really powerful, something that the Divine Order wants to wipe out or contain where possible. You escape the ship in which you are transported to a prison island, called Fort Joy, because a Kraken attacks the ship and you fall into the water. A mysterious voice, calling you “Godwoken” apparently saves you. You wash up at Fort Joy, in which your journey begins.

    The world is being infested with Void Woken, monstrous creatures from another dimension. You learn of your Godwoken status and what it means and your destiny to become the next divine. You need to travel through different continents to reach Arx, where Lucian the Divine is buried. On your journey, you meet various characters, complete many different quests, increase your Source powers and defeat numerous foes. Lucian’s tomb is the key to reach divinity and restore balance to the world, all while stopping the Void Woken from consuming everything and everyone. When you finally reach it, a massive plot twist unfolds that is too good to spoil. This is something that one has to experience for themselves.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is the ultimate definition of an RPG. The combat is turn based, you earn XP and gold, can invest in many different skills that help you on your adventure and you can have a party of four characters. Combining different tactics and skills is essential and you are free to fill this in however you want. Each character is not bound to be a fighter or mage, and with the right skills and attributes, you can create whatever party you like.

    You can craft your own stuff, like potions, food items for healing, arrows and many others. Just collect enough garbage and stuff in the world around you and experiment with the items by combining them. Alternatively, you can find many recipe books that teaches you new crafting recipes. Although most of the times you are better off with just finding items instead of crafting them, combining shoes with nails for example, grants you immunity to slipping over ice, a crucial and very helpful feat.

    When you talk to NPC’s, everything is possible. You can convince them to give you something or to do something for you, they can hate you, love you or outright attack you. Nothing is scripted and whole side quests and later parts of the story can be dismissed or failed because you decided to plant a sword between Gareth’s eyes on Reapers Coast. That is the beauty of this game.

    The best thing about Divinity: Original Sin II is the way combat is played out. A higher level enemy does not necessarily need to be invincible. There is always a way or tactic to beat the situation. Use the terrain, use teleporting powers, telekinesis, healing and buffs to get the upper hand. There were so many battles that I won by being creative, and one time, one character stayed behind, resurrected my fallen teammates, teleported them to safety, geared up again and then rejoined the battle, winning it in the end. You can experiment endlessly with this game and that makes it so great.

    Divinity: Orignal Sin II is hard, really hard. The difficulty is legendary. It is kind of unforgiving to new players and requires some serious strategy and planning. If you made some all-round characters and just “go with the flow”, you are going to have a bad time later on in the game.

    The graphics and music are beautiful in this game. It looks stunning, alive and detailed, and combined with the excellent fight tracks and the calming ambient music, you really feel like living in a fantasy land, far away from the troubles of everyday life. It is just glorious.

    There are just so many things you can do, try, or experiment with in this game, the possibilities are almost endless. You never get bored and there is always something new to discover. The battles are amazing, the humor is spot on, the story is solid and I can do nothing else than praise it.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is just perfection in every way and there has yet to be a game that matches it.

    Absolutely recommend this work of art to everyone.    … Expand

    This is the best game ever made. It's super cheap at 45€ and you can easily get 100+ hours of playtime. A ton of builds to try, paths to explore and characters to bond with. Sure it's not great for tiktok kids that have a 7 second attention span (still reading this review? ;), but that's more of a positive than a negative.

    Not only the single player experience is flawless, playing multiplayer with a party is also tons of fun. In it's own chaotic way. On top of everything you can add mods to multiply the potential game time infinite times.

    Probably the best fantasy experience with the most freedom of roleplaying and class/character customization, has the blood of Baldur's Gate with a modern twist and runs pretty well, awesome optimization. It gives the most played with other players and friends, up to 4 players in a very long campaign, which is the climax of coop gaming in my opinion and represents the best coop experienceProbably the best fantasy experience with the most freedom of roleplaying and class/character customization, has the blood of Baldur's Gate with a modern twist and runs pretty well, awesome optimization. It gives the most played with other players and friends, up to 4 players in a very long campaign, which is the climax of coop gaming in my opinion and represents the best coop experience as of now. Turn based combat might turn off players not accustomed to either pen-and-paper D&D or old schools RPG's like Baldur's Gate, but it's actually very intuitive and adds a very enjoyable tactical flavour to the experience. The very icing on the cake are mod support, the complex but creative Game Master Mode (which gives you the tools to create and fire up your very own adventure) and the huge character customization options together with a very flexible class system, giving the game a nearly endless replayability. The only small con is the relatively scarce choice of races (Elf, Human, Dwarf, Lizardmen and their undead counterpart).… Expand

    Huge, awesome, engaging cRPG with incredible writing and amazing quest design. I love how this game allows you to approach problems, and how it pits playable characters against each other. Story pacing is pretty wild though, Act 2 is way too large a chunk of the game.

    One of the best RPG, I can spend hours in Fort Joy just to lay down the boxes to create an barriers, in order to prepare a tough fight ahead. The game mechanic is awesome with all the environmental affect.
    The music is top notch, one of the best soundtrack, perfect to use it as background music at work.

    Antes desse jogo, minhas únicas experiências com RPG de turno tinham sido quando criança, com FF e alguns genéricos que estavam completamente em japonês, mas eu jogava porque era o que eu tinha ali, não porque gostava. Depois de ser floodado por uma página no facebook falando super bem desse jogo (alô, Dormir não dá XP) eu decidi dar uma nova chance para o gênero.

    Divinity: Original Sin    Antes desse jogo, minhas únicas experiências com RPG de turno tinham sido quando criança, com FF e alguns genéricos que estavam completamente em japonês, mas eu jogava porque era o que eu tinha ali, não porque gostava. Depois de ser floodado por uma página no facebook falando super bem desse jogo (alô, Dormir não dá XP) eu decidi dar uma nova chance para o gênero.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2 é simplesmente um RPG de mesa só que no computador. Até o momento, não joguei nenhum outro jogo que me deu tanta liberdade em fazer build, progressão de história e diálogos diferentes que REALMENTE fazem a diferença no que vai acontecer.

    Você pode jogar como quiser!

    "Não quero seguir a quest principal agora..."
    Sem problemas, vai explorar, matar, saquear, procurar criança perdida, vai fazer o que você quiser.

    "Mas eu não queria matar aquele boss, ele parece que tá certo."
    Relaxa, só tentar vencer o cara na base do diálogo que ta suave.

    "Achei um baú/porta e não tenho a chave para abrir :("
    Meu chapa, mete a porrada que abre.

    "Poxa, eu não sei que classe eu vou fazer..."
    Meu amigo, você pode fazer um mega frankstein de classes. Você pode:
    -fazer um anão, mago, ladino e que pode usar espada e vara de magia em cada mão.
    -fazer um morto vivo que é healer
    -fazer um caçador de essencialistas que é essencialista e odeia essencialistas
    -fazer uma cantora que seja tank e encanta todo mundo possuída pelo ritmo ragatanga
    -fazer um lagartão maneiro que passa a perna em todo mundo na conversa, inclusive que poderia vencer na porrada um troll que tem 10 vezes a força, tamanho e vida dele

    E isso tudo é só o começo.

    Claro que tudo isso, somado à câmera isométrica, não vai agradar a todos os tipos de jogadores. Eu não julgo quem gosta apenas de jogos que são mais "limitados", no sentido que você precisa seguir uma história linear, com apenas um personagem e que os diálogos escolhidos não importam para o desfecho das coisas. São públicos diferentes.

    Porém eu recomendo para quem quer começar no mundo dos RPGs de turno, pois é bem amigável (principalmente no modo história) e é bem divertido explorar Rivellon. Se você já joga/jogou RPG de mesa, não importa qual sistema, com certeza vai sentir nostalgia e vai se divertir horrores com esse jogo.

    Esse jogo me fez sentir muita saudade da época do ensino médio em que tinha meu grupo de amigos que jogavam 3D&T e D&D comigo, quando tudo era mais fácil e cor de rosa.    … Expand

    If Divinity: Original Sin 2 had only been an enormous single-player RPG, it would still be far better than most of what you could compare it to. The fact that it has such well-implemented co-op and a user-friendly game master mode gives it a tremendous amount of value at a time where such a thing can feel like a rarity. Even if you never touch all of its various components, you'll still be left with a role-playing game that exemplifies the best aspects of its genre.

    For those looking to get into cRPGs, and even for those just searching for a great RPG, Divinity: Original Sin II is heartily recommended. It has all the virtues that fans of the subgenre have extolled and wraps them up in a way that is much friendlier to newcomers than every other title I've tried. Combine that with fantastic writing, a highly engaging combat system, and great design, and you have another standout RPG in a year packed full of them.
