Graphically, the game looks great for an isometric dungeon crawl. Without the existence of a sub-bar on which to put secondary skills, checking your hot bar before entering any encounter becomes a must. It’s also easy to save and use the hot bar when needed. The controls may take a little getting used to when it comes to inventory management and character stats, but it is still very doable. Don’t think that you will breeze through Fort Joy in 2 or 3 hours, as there is a LOT to explore and do.Īs far as how this game handles on console, it may be a bit of a mixed bag. Surprisingly, the first two chapters of the game are very deep. It will help you get through some situations - especially when you see pigs on fire. Also as a hint, if you want to solve a few early puzzles, pick up the Pet Pal perk on one of your characters. The voice acting is done very well, and I would even warn against mashing buttons to get through some dialogue trees, because many will not repeat themselves. Quests can be approached a number of different ways, and (as expected), your decisions will change how things operate with regard to the outcome. If you have ever played any of the original Baldur’s Gate games from years ago, it will become very familiar very quickly how to proceed. Story-wise, while it may not be the most original plot in the world, the game gives players many choices on how to proceed. From there, you are deposited upon the island of Fort Joy and, upon meeting several companions, you must find a way to escape. Eventually the ship is wrecked and you are saved by a deity to become its chosen one. So, for anyone unfamiliar with this game, the story starts with you waking up aboard a strange ship, being fitted with a collar that restrains your ‘Source’ - the innate abilities of the people of this realm. This game is what I really wanted Dungeons and Dragons: Sword Coast Legends to be, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 even improves on that game in so many ways. This time around it looks as if D:OS2 is the game to watch. While I played the first game some years ago, at that time I thought that Pillars of Eternity was a better game. So I initially missed out what was a highly-rated RPG, which I knew would eventually come to consoles. This game snuck up on me as I didn’t get the PC version last year. This is life in Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition. Ten minutes after that, I robbed and killed a man for his teleportation gloves because I feared he was setting my team up for failure, and it seemed like a good idea to get vengeance. I had a nice breakfast of sausages, eggs, & toast and washed it down with orange juice.
