The combat has an incredible amount of depth to it and each element included in the combat works extremely well and makes it stand out even more.
    There is a huge amount of content for you to get to grips with and this content will no doubt keep you intrigued and satisfied for quite a while. Both the visuals and sound design have been done to perfection and I’m also pleased to say that the technichal side of the game is also perfect as well.
    The multiplayer components in the game work really well and this does give the game even more in terms of replayability. Sometimes the controls tend to be a little awkward and you will find yourself pressing the wrong button every now and then. If can get a little too complicated from time to time and this will cause you to endure a few frustrating moments at times. Does Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition do enough to get a recommendation from me? All in all I was very pleased to see that this game was making its way to the Xbox One because on PC the game is universally loved and without a doubt I can see Divinity: Original Sin II being loved just as much on the Xbox One now. I will say right from the get go that everything about the console version of this game impressed greatly because there are hardly any issues and everything plays just like it does on the PC. You will however have to get used to the controls because they can be a little awkward at first but when you do get used to them you’re greeted with combat elements that are simply stunning and a story that will keep you invested throughout your time with the game. At the end of the day if you have any interest in the RPG genre then this game is a must own because as far as RPG’s go Divinity: Original Sin II is up there with the very best.    … Expand

    I won't even dare to review this game here as it would take me two pages long just to start. I just say go and read about it on the web, review sites, forums, etc. If you like RPG, it just doesn't get any better than this. A truly masterpiece.

    Another masterpiece from Larian.

    This game provided me with dozens of joyful hours played both in co-op and in single-player mode. All mechanics have upgraded and improved: from creating a character that truly represents what you want them to be to the spells & abilities mixing system that enables your creativity in ways I couldn't think of before. And it wouldn't hurt to mention    Another masterpiece from Larian.

    Simply amazing. If you are a D&D fan this game scratches the itch. Managing characters armor weapons spells etc. Good graphics, engrossing story, plenty to do and find. I thoroughly enjoyed my play through. If you enjoy classic RPG’s this one is a cant miss.

    One of the best turn based RPG games I’ll ever play I believe... amazingly it’s by such a small company.

    I didn't think a console tactical rpg could be so much fun to play. Sometimes the controls do not require a lot, but playing this title for two on the console is great.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is a truly superb RPG experience that delivers a complex but intriguing narrative, some of the most exciting and intelligent turn-based combat I’ve ever encountered, and a shed load of quests to ensure there’s always something to do.

    A compelling story with a huge amount of player freedom, but overwhelming at points. [Nov 2018, p.93]

    Larian Studios masterfully rescues the spirit of the RPG giants of yesteryear. A deep game strongly marked by an exciting main plot, which also offers unprecedented freedom in decisions, dialogues and character development. The best that has been created in the RPG genre in recent years.
