  • -It feels like you have to cheese some fights, or else the fight will be very difficult

Comments
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a great game with a lot of content. Not only is it a long game, but it is also highly replayable. There are six origin characters, but you can have one main character and three companions. Each origin character has their own story and it is presented differently if they are the main character rather than a companion. The main story is good, but many of the side stories are also interesting.

The combat system is really fun. There are a variety of skill types, and each type can have a variety of skills to utilize. You can manipulate the surface with various effects and crowd control enemies. You can approach most battles in several ways, letting you affect how the battle flows. There are some fights that are really difficult. For these, I had to cheese the fight in order to beat it by using tactics I would normally not use. These fights were in the minority, but it still felt a little strange.

Overall, if you are into CRPGs or are thinking of trying out a CRPG, I highly recommend this game. Even if you only play through the game once, it is well worth the price, especially when it’s on sale.
