    I read the game has an "emotional story" from Gamespot's review. This is a complete joke. The writing and overacting in the game makes it feel like it was all made by a kid. It's juvenile trash. For an actual good, emotional story and superb game get Xenoblade 3.

    Awesome story. Battles can be challenging on normal. The way how items are organized could be a lot better. When generally checking wares you can switch between categories, but when trading you just look at an endless mess. Even additional option which comes with the definitive edition, doesn't fix that in any way.

    Unfortunately switch version suffer from FPS drops, especially towards middle of the story and later on. Not only that, but it also crashes from time to time during combats. It seems that switch hardware is not enough to handle it properly, even with much lower resolution and textures quality. Or just poor optimization.    … Expand

    I bought this gaming knowing that I probably wouldn't like it but because I found it for a very good price I decided to buy it. I've played it for 10-15 hours perhaps? I visited the whole first island and I couldn't find the way to leave. I really appreciate all the effort with the voices and dialogues and soundtrack. Combats are in turns and are good but they feel too long for me. ForI bought this gaming knowing that I probably wouldn't like it but because I found it for a very good price I decided to buy it.

Combats are in turns and are good but they feel too long for me. For what I read, maybe if you play in a computer or with friends you could give it a 7 but that's all I can say. If you are a native English speaker you probably can enjoy it more. I'm used to American English accent but here the game was in UK English so, that's not helping to me either. So, is this a bad game? No it's not but have in mind what I've written and think it twice before buying it. Also, this game is better for people that really have a lot of free time.

    I really wanted to give it a higher rating, it is really a fun game. However the Switch edition still crashes from time to time, plus the long loading time, it is really frustrating. I had to give it up as I couldn’t stand it anymore.

    a game that makes you want to play even if you don't like such games. smart combat system, nice compositions, interesting world and plot. However, the Nintendo switch is a bad platform for this game, because the game has a bad frame rate (there were about 15 frames on the oil rig), very long loads( at least a minute per load) and poor resolution.

    If you can’t play on PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch is a perfectly fine way to play. It has its issues and quirks that make it more of a companion to the PC version, but being able to play wherever you want makes up for it.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the best games available on the Nintendo Switch and a heaven-sent for RPG fans. With its in-depth gameplay, freedom of exploration and an involving and detailed plot, this is an excellent adaptation to the Nintendo Switch and one which will reward the investment of time and energy that any player puts into it.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is a masterpiece and a dream come true for RPG fans. This game takes us to a world in which our decisions will influence completely throughout the secondary plots, without forgetting to maintain excellent quality both in storytelling and in combat and personalization. One of the best role-playing games ever created.
