While the creators of Divinity II: Ego Draconis should be applauded for trying to make a deep and epic fantasy role-playing game, they really should have tried harder to make the basic mechanics work first. Basic combat feels dull and uninspired, while ranged combat is difficult to control. Read more
Concept: Explore a richly detailed fantasy world in your quest to become a dragon and stop an ancient evil Graphics: Environments are fabulous, but a mere half-dozen faces for each gender and wonky animations make the people less of a draw than the setting Sound: The content-appropriate score does its job, and most of the extensive voice work is solid Playability: The control itself isn’t bad, but horrific balancing will make you curse Entertainment: The sense of...

"Divinity 2: Ego Draconis" kind of came out of nowhere, but is surprisingly good to be honest, especially considering the limited budget and release the game has got. There’s some definite real problems- the animation is more 1999 than 2009, and the frame-rate can get choppy, and even on easy the game is insanely difficult, and can be difficult to follow.

Avoid it unless you are desperate for frustration or... Read more
Divinity II is a huge game that gives the player a lot of freedom. It is filled with incredibly fun quests, it's got a great storyline and the best dialogue/humour in ages! Read more

A decent 3rd Person action rpg! The whole feel of this game is great, and the story works well in the confines of it.

It can be tricky at points, but when you get past those bits it's a real feel of accomplishment. Check it out if you like these kind of games, or try Risen. Read more
