Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition

Last year, Divinity: Original Sin was one of my favourite video games when it released. The new Enhanced Edition reminds me why, but it it not content to simply sit back on prior success. Meaningful changes were made in thousands of large and subtle ways, and the result is one of the best RPG experiences that can be found on either PC or console.

Difficulties with the interface aside, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is an intriguing, challenging, relentlessly charming game that serves as a refreshing break from bleaker RPGs that have dominated the rest of the year. It absolutely shouldn't be overlooked by RPG fans who never played it on PC. For those who have played the original, enough has changed in the story and progression that the remastered edition is well worth a second purchase to play locally with friends.

Divinity: Original Sin never ceases to impress. Be it the deep role-play mechanics, the marvelous quest structure, the beautiful soundtrack or the gorgeous visuals, the Enhanced Edition feels like the complete package. With inclusion of voice acting and the possibility of split-screen gaming with a friend, the title is a must-have for console RPG enthusiasts.

The revised version of one of the best classic RPG available on the market. An absolute must for the fans, perfectly playable with the joypad.

Not only does it have an impressive combat system and interesting quests, it features a reactive world that you can truly leave your mark on. Add in a winning sense of humour, well thought-out gameplay systems, and a charming aesthetic, and you're left with an RPG that would be a sin to miss.

One of the most exciting PC RPGs of recent years effortlessly makes the transition to PlayStation without losing a drop of its tactical depth in the process. [Christmas 2015, p.82]

An old-fashioned RPG with overly complicated menus. But after just a little bit of playtime it shows unexpected qualities.

After two playthroughs I would encourage everyone to try this game out. Maybe together with a friend (couch co-op or both with separate PS4 is possible). The fight system is interesting and there are so many ways to beat the game. Also the humor in this game is fantastic. For skilled players there is a permadeath mode, which really added some spice to the game.

Not my cup of tea. I prefer pure action RPG and this is not, even if it's great

First half top, second half flop. The first half of the game was super interesting, fun and exciting, although often not easy to figure out what to do. From about halfway through, however, this gets out of hand. You have no plan where to go, what to do, or why to do anything. The puzzles, which are logical and fun at the beginning, become too frequent and illogical over time, making them frustrating. The game relies too much on its scripted **** you haven't done A exactly as planned, you'll find yourself standing in front of closed doors at B. It gives you a false sense of freedom of choice and is actually very hard railroading. A lot of potential was wasted and I hope the second part is better.

Игру пройти пытался раз 5 на разных платформах и ни один раз не увенчался успехом. В основном дело было в темпе игры, растянутости и однообразной моей тактике борьбы с врагами. 4 из 5 раз даже пробовал проходить с другом, но и это не помогло осилить игру. Достаточно сказочный визуал, разнообразие и зависимость друг от друга механик вроде подкупала, но не удерживала ни разу долго. Посему до сих игра не пройдена и то ли дело маячит в сознании напоминая о себе. Попробовать с друзьями можно, но если вы как и мои друзья любите драйв и экшон, то готовьтесь к медленному геймплею.

I would say I am a casual fan of the turn based party CRPG genre. So something like the accessible Wasteland 2 and Shadow Run series is more my thing. I heard great things about this DOS series. So I decided to pick up both DOS1 and DOS2 enhanced editions. The game looks, sounds and plays ok. After several hours of adventuring I kind of drifted off. I just felt like I was in another generic fantasy land that I didn't care or even give a crap about. Not saying games need a great story or great characters. Spent way to much time in Skyrim/Fallout 3/4 to prove that statement true. The exploration factor and loot hooks was enough with those games. Nothing really pulled me in with DOS. Not the story, characters, loot, exploration, combat. I really wanted to like this one and still have DOS2 to try. Pandemic retry and the PS4 version has a annoying audio bug with missing combats sounds. Changing the one of the three audio options in the PS4 dashboard does nothing. Restarting the game was supposed to be the next fix and that is a totally RNG outcome, wtf!? The lack of audio really breaks the gameplay experience. Maybe 6/10 if they ever fix the audio.
