    maddmike722's Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition (PC) review

    Stuck in the past

    Contrived skill and stat systems, ruthless difficulty, and party based dungeoning. We're back in the 90's, everyone.

Buggy quests, terrible writing, obtuse objectives, and awful voice acting make this game far inferior to its Kickstarted competitor, Pillars of Eternity, despite the fact that Divinity has by far the better combat system.

      In a gaming world full of hand-holding, uninspired battle systems, and just sheer crap, Divinity is a shining diamond in the rough."The art direction is spot on, the colors brightly bring the world to life, and the character designs are great too."Loot-based, dungeon-crawling RPGs are never known for their graphics so I'm judging this on a level equivalent to similar games like Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3. I'm going to put this simply - Divinity is fucking gorgeous. The art direction is spot on, t...
