Still a great game years later. So many mods from a strong community and it can look incredible. All expansions installed from the get-go with this version and they add hours to the game play. An instant classic and impressive follow-up from Morrowind.

I did not have any expectations for this game. I am aware it's not technically a brand new game.

It is however a FREE Third Person Action MMORPG with a ton of equippable items and a huge emphasis on combination attacks. The combinations can get pretty intense but it's all spelled out and even has a UI that displays different buttons you can push to continue a combination. Anyone who is familiar with combination fighting games should have no trouble understanding the mechanics of Divine Souls. The mechanics themselves are also pleasantly fluid and it's easy to engage in battles to unleash a punishing flurry of attacks. The special "charge" attacks are devastating.

The RPG element is very big as well and there are seemingly hundreds of missions (a primary story and tons of side-quests). The voice acting is humorous but it gets the job done (there are text subtitles). RPG features include crafting, enchanting, upgrades, an auction house and supports both multi-player and single-player battles. The graphics are not cutting edge but are still smooth and because of this I can run the game in it's supported 1920x1080 resolution with no frame loss.

Overall the game is easy to pick up and start having fun right away. I am level 27 right now.

Classic FPS after Quake and Half-Life. This was the game that brought PC gaming to mainstream light (Behind Starcraft). Professional tournaments sponsored by large tech companies was the tip of the iceberg. Strong community-ran servers proved to be invaluable when considering how easy it was to find a place to play without hackers.

Purest First Person Shooter game I have ever played.
