    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.

    Great game. If you like lengthy tactical combat and deep story, this is the game for you. It can be annoyingly currency driven but its quite funny and worth every penny plot-wise

    D:OS is a great turn-based isometric RPG on the PS4.

    I've personally put around 80 hours into the campaign and I really enjoyed it. Full disclosure, I haven't completed it, but I am in the last stages of the game.
    D:OS is really well written, its smart, the characters are unique and have personality. The actual story is a bit naff, I've played better, I've played worse.
    The reason I haven't finished it is that the gameplay is too slow for the world to be as big as it is, also, there are well documented issues with the quest system.
    Gameplay-wise, combat is pretty difficult, I've played 79 of my 80 hours on "Normal" and have just lowered it to "Explorer" to hopefully help me finish the it. Now, normal wasn't too hard, it was just too slow, the turn-based combat just took far, far too long.
    The quest system, it doesn't hold your hand, the game leaves it up to the player to read the quest notes and figure out what to do next. This still works, but you'll find yourself frequently scrolling through the quest list, reading and re-reading notes to try and figure out where to go or what to do. Its not very intuitive and doesn't really benefit the player at all.
    D:OS is great, it is, its just massive, slow and complex, I want to finish it, I want to see the story's outcome, but man its a big ask, especially because I want to play the sequel.

The premise and generation of the game make it must own but unfortunately I must also point out that there are frustrations; however they are quite easily forgiven considering the gameplay value presented. Beware this game does not hold your hand and on top of that I've stumbled across at least 3 types of software bugs which at times have ruined my gameplay requiring reloading earlier saves (that means also loosing future loot past the save) creating some disgruntled monents. As bad as that can be this game is humongous with excellent variety, loot and strategies given how you can build your party and explore the world openly as to whatever adventure tastes you come up with. Not only is it highly adventurous it's also deeply strategic at a top level. An area the game needs improvement on is npc ai. Way too many quests end by moronic actions of quest npcs ignoring pretty much obvious traps and elemental areas which will cause their demise. Their lack of choosing important targets is also a noticeable problem. Still, with so much available in way of gameplay choices you can deal with this game is beyond outstanding and a must own nonetheless. Patience and building upon your mistakes are key in this game as is intelligence and foresight. Expand

    After two playthroughs I would encourage everyone to try this game out. Maybe together with a friend (couch co-op or both with separate PS4 is possible). The fight system is interesting and there are so many ways to beat the game. Also the humor in this game is fantastic. For skilled players there is a permadeath mode, which really added some spice to the game.

    I played this one after the 2nd game, it's still a good game but definitely worse. The story was interesting at first but after awhile I kinda just wanted to get through it and stopped caring. The gameplay isn't as well done as the 2nd but it's still fun, it gets stale faster though. And I dislike the way the systems for things like skill customization work compared to the 2nd.

Oh yeah, one more thing, this is not an easy game to play, like not easy at all, you have to read all the bloody letter, and dialogs and be very careful throughout the story line to understand what to do, this game will give you no hints or tell you what you have to do next, so if you are up for a challenge you should definitely try it out.

    The game looks, sounds and plays ok. After several hours of adventuring I kind of drifted off. I just felt like I was in another generic fantasy land that I didn't care or even give a crap about.

    Not saying games need a great story or great characters. Spent way to much time in Skyrim/Fallout 3/4 to prove that statement true. The exploration factor and loot hooks was enough with those games.

    Nothing really pulled me in with DOS. Not the story, characters, loot, exploration, combat. I really wanted to like this one and still have DOS2 to try.

    Pandemic retry and the PS4 version has a annoying audio bug with missing combats sounds. Changing the one of the three audio options in the PS4 dashboard does nothing. Restarting the game was supposed to be the next fix and that is a totally RNG outcome, wtf!? The lack of audio really breaks the gameplay experience. Maybe 6/10 if they ever fix the audio.

    The main disadvantage of the is, as for me, it's tactics. The thing is that it is based on random stunning effect, and you easily complete the game if you are lucky( or ruin if you are unlucky).

    The second disadvantage is that it becomes quite boring in the end. I thing it is mainly caused by tactics system.

    Fortunately, DOS Enhanced Edition has fixed most of game's problems, but as it sad, you can't fix what the problem is the game is based on it, so the random stuns during battle is the only think that annoy,

    So, DOS: EA is a 9/10 game. I can recommend it to everyone, who likes CRPGs, fantasy and all, who love good games.

    This RPG has the best battle system I have ever played, an interesting world with tons of exploration and good characters. It starts with the character creation. You can create and build your character as you want without class restrictions. Then there is the awesome battle system. It is so deep and organized. For example: You can use a rain spell to put water on the surface of the ground.This RPG has the best battle system I have ever played, an interesting world with tons of exploration and good characters. It starts with the character creation. You can create and build your character as you want without class restrictions. Then there is the awesome battle system. It is so deep and organized. For example: You can use a rain spell to put water on the surface of the ground. Then you can freeze the water to create a slippery ground (Everyone who moves over that ground can fall down. If they fall their turn ends) or you can electrify it, creating a damaging shock field or you can use a fire spell to remove it / created steam that blocks the enemies vision (Steam can also be electrified if I remember correctly). Another example is that you can put oil on the ground (Movement is decreased) that you can set on fire with everyone in it receiving damage and the burn status (Additional damage over time). I want to say that I find the decreased movement more useful than the additional damage for most of the time. It also taught me to look behind damage in spells and abilities. The debuffs and status effects spells / abilities are a useful tool which can change the tide of battle. And this only scratches the surface. You will like the experimentation with combos and different set ups. The crafting system is well done and totally integrated in the game. For example: You read that part above with the slippery iced ground? You can use nails to improve your boots to avoid slipping (I think a similar system is used in real life). You can still just improve only stats. It should be mentioned that you wont learn all abilities or skills in a branch. I advise to read some FAQs or ability guides to plan ahead. The world building and lore in this game is pretty well done. I liked getting more knowledge about the world, side characters etc. The main story is O.K. It is a bit stereotypical but delivers. The main characters are also a bit on the blank slate for you to develop side. However the side quests and side characters are well done. I find their motives, stories believable and interesting. I often got into moral dilemmas. This is also a good point to mention that you can give your 2 main characters a personality at the beginning of the game. This means that they will discuss and question the others decision at many points in the game. They will decide their approach in a mini game (Give small ability boosts to both in different directions) and can prevent you from some solutions / actions (But can be used to boost many abilities in a small but very useful amount). I want also mentioned the tactical game mode which gives you a new challenge in a unique way. In many games this means that the enemies have higher stats and more abilities. Here many battles are rearrange. Example with !!! Minor Spoilers!!! I started the tutorial battle and saw no changes. Then after my turn ended I realized that an additional enemy was placed behind me just outside my view (Had I slightly changed the camera I would have seen the enemy and started differently). Another example is a battle outside the first town. Lightning hits the ground and reawakened electrified Zombies are added to the battle. Attack them in melee combat and you get shocked / paralyzed. !!! End of spoilers!!! Overall this is purely game of the year material. Bonus: Divinity Original Sin 2 is even better. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Left my full review on steam so i'll edit this one here. This review is for the PC version of the game.

    After some odd 94 hours of play time, some some of that being my computer on idle, I cannot recommend this game. I have played many other RPGs including Dragon Age origins. I originally got bored after act 1 and some of it's tedious combat mechanics and stupid levels of fake difficulty but decided to try playing again. Internet guides certainly helped fix some issues.

    Game expects you to die a lot to "learn" it's mechanics which were never explained well in the first place. It's got a pretty terrible autosave system to boot so make sure that the second key you are familiar with after mouse clicking is the damn quicksave key. Forget this and you'l sometimes have to recouperate hours of progress, especially when most of the party is dead, and you have no gold to revive them with out a scroll, and the only magical free revive spell is occuping a master slot in witchcraft with a lv 15 requirement. **** ewwww. Other games had better systems than this.

    The story gets bogged down pretty fast and you'll probably lose interest by act 2. The writting varies at times from good to comically questionable. Most of the voice actors do a decent job. However the town markets criers are ear gratingly annoying when you are at a shop screen in the area for SEVERAL MINUTES. Sometimes voices get bugged and do not play.

    The game initially teaches you some basics and while some quests are straight forward while others you will never complete. For example if you find Sam's collar then a quest opens up about him. HOWEVER if you do not have the talent to talk to animals (which is a useless talent anyways and takes up a slot for something better) then you will never be able to complete the quest and the game does not tell you this (you need to look it up online like a majority of things for this game). Quests sometimes range from straight forward to inanely obtuse.

    Combat is obtuse and difficult. Higher difficulties don't make the enemy smart but instead pad health. Regular enemies have a lot of crowd control abilites which you will need to revive. Multiclassing is mandidtory on anythign but the easiest difficulty.

    Blacksmitting, crafting, and loremaster were annoying and often resulted in me cheking online tables.

    I absolutely hate the RPS minigame and charisma does nothing for you. Get the mod that removes it and make charisma worth something. all guides agree it does **** for you.

    Without going into too much detail the straw for me that broke the camel's back was finishing Bairdotr's quest and the character not recognizing any change storywise. Depending on what traits you have you can permanently lose Bairdotr in a dialogue exchange with Jareth. In order to not lose her you need to kill the bastard before dialogue ends or skip the dialogue entirelyThe game mocked you for caring. I have better things to do with my time than finishing this **** of an experience.

    Had I done more research at the time I would have skipped this entry. Divinity original Sin 2 is grades better than this. I will probably be picking up the 2nd game shortly as they have resolved many off the issues with the first that I have listed. If you insist on playing this entry beyond the issues I mentioned do yourself a favor and get some guides that will help you build your characters and complete the game. You might want to also look up some exp and/or respawning enemies mods. Maybe a mod to alleviate the terrible crafting system too.

    There are plenty of game breaking bugs throughout the game. The story is toothless. The game is aimless and focus TOO MUCH on TOO MANY useless boring puzzles. The difficult spikes are unbalanced and terribly unfair. Sometimes, if you want to do something specific to progess on a quest, you'll need to have a certain skill or an item. They won't warn you about that and if you don't have it, you won't get through. Oh, and if you don't have a mage, you basically won't beat the game. This game won't help you at all and objectives are never clear enough.
    This game had everything to be the next Baldur's Gate, but has too many wrongs to do right.
    I don't recommend this game at all.

    This is a great example of a deep, complex, strategic game with longevity than actually makes you think rather than just run around hitting or shooting stuff. The combat system is really fun, and so variable as to how you take each battle on and the how you develop your characters. Heaps of customisation in the way you do things and where you go in the game.

You can really get lost without a guide to bring you back as if you miss one line or one character, you can be running around the map clueless. Some of the puzzles are really challenging too.

    What I didn't like about this game was the unbalanced difficulty, especially in the early hours of playing, where enemies range from easy to impossible much too quickly, and reviving fainted characters was far too cumbersome.

    Also, a selling point of this game is its lack of hand-holding when it comes to figuring out quests and where to go etc., and whilst this may please some, it massively irritated me as they have taken this a bit too far and it can cause you to waste a lot of time wandering around aimlessly. I also wonder if this gameplay element is responsible for people buying the strategy guide or going online, in which case it makes the concept irrelevant if people are just going to look up guides anyway.

    Having said that, there are some fantastic game mechanics in here. The characters are interesting and the combat is intriguing, like all good RPGs.

    If you've got the time and energy, I'd fully recommend it. If you're more casual and prefer to breeze through games, then avoid.

    This is my first time playing DOS. I played on Tactical mode because I have been playing many turn-based games including XCOM so I think I could take up the challenge.

    The combat mechanic is brilliant designed. I felt in love fast once I set foot out of city. The Tactical difficulty is merciless and sometimes felt nasty but I still managed. However, once I passed the first area, it became easier and easier. On last area, I mostly won the battle flawlessly in 2-3 turns so it disappointed me a bit. (Except for the final battle though, it was good)

    The story only interested me at first area but then it kinda got boring in area 2-3. Compared with other rpg games I have played, the story in DOS:EE is average at best. If it is not because of awesome combat, I would have quit half way.

    On the bad parts though, I think Devs added too many traps. Some puzzles also annoying and take too much time to solve. It slows the game down. I like combat, but not puzzle and traps. One wrong step, your whole team dies, not fun in my opinion. Inventory management is also sluggish. The way you run in the town take too much time. I hope we could run faster outside combat. Voice acting is great though, but most of dialogs are very long, so I usually just read, rather than listen.

    In sum, I would give 8/10 as a solid score for DOS:EE. I think spent 80-100 hrs to the game , sometimes love, sometimes feel annoyed due to traps. This is clearly not a game for everyone but RPG hardcore turn-based gamers. I will look forward to DOS2 when it comes to console.

    This is a very good game that thankfully doesn't hold your hand at all. It is filled with player choice and the game requires you to use your brain and not your reflexes which is how almost every other RPG is. It is filled with exploration, wonder and a great combat system.
