![]() There are too many options, skills, interactive objects, and mechanics that require the familiar cascading dropdown menus and precision of a mouse to make work. Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch Released: September 5, 2019When I originally reviewed the Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition – this review that you’re reading now – I was shocked at how smoothly and seamlessly Larian Studios was able to translate a hardcore PC roleplaying game like Divinity 2 to consoles. Things like fleshed out character stories and interactions, a no-pressure story mode, reworked and brand new fights, character pacing, a new comprehensive arena mode and more round out this Definitive Edition, and I’m most excited to see the largely rewritten third act when I finally get back to it. Of the number of positive changes introduced in the Definitive Edition by developer Larian Studios, most will likely go unnoticed unless you’ve invested dozens of hours into the original. But all things considered, the Xbox One X is consistently the shiniest, best performing console version. While the standard Xbox One and PS4 are no slouches either, there are noticeable dips in framerate in graphically intensive areas, and all consoles infrequently jerk when the big fireworks go off mid-battle. Quality does depend on the power of your box though, with visuals popping on both the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro – especially in HDR. Hope developers will add some additional difficulty soon.“Technically, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one of the most beautiful looking isometric RPGs and that hasn’t changed. So the first game was harder from my point of view. Even on the hardcore difficulty the game rarely gives you much of a challenge, by moving instead of attacking and ignoring the opportunity attacks. When CC works not by random chances but by tactical decisions, the flaws of AI are much more noticeable. Where the first game is better is the difficulty. Memory is just awesome addition to the parameters, so no more 1 level all skills exploit.Īnd don't forget about GM mode and the level editor. Most of the characters will require you to invest in at least half of them. Now you can't just put all your attributes into intelligence and be cool. I just love how they updated skill-stats system. Oh, and shield warriors from useless became a really great archetype. ![]() With these and the addition of the attack-from-above system, the battles became really tactical. You can't just focus the same enemy by the whole team as before, you have to pick your target wisely. And you always know when your CC will work. Now no more random deaths on Hardcore mode because 10% stun suddenly worked on you 3 times in a row. I really enjoy that they nerfed the crowd control system. Much better story, you never feel like you just cleaning a location from mobs for no reason, much better companions, awesome dialogs, non-linearity, awesome origin stories, awesome usage of the scripts. Other than that, DOS2 has a way better skill system. like after you put in JUST 3 points, you'd start specing into other skills just for the boosts. necro giving life leech for EVERY attack even through decay compared to most other skills. ![]() huntsman is honestly the weakest of all the skills post 3 points, polymorph giving you up to 10 attribute points is ridiculous. where some skills are clearly superior to others.īetween huntsman and polymorph. which are ''ultimate'' source skills.) combined with how the skills give you these ''buffs''. Beyond having 10 points to put in each skill but getting 90% of the skills with only 3 points (with 5 giving you the last 10%. Although the way the combat skills work in DOS2 somewhat bugs me. ![]() If we had the skill system of DOS2 in DOS1, DOS1 would be way better. Although I like the skill diversity/mechanics a lot more. Story, graphics, armor variation, charactersĪgreed. Originally posted by Hexxer:the Story, and the background of the Origin Characters, all that stuff is much better in the Divinity 2.īut, what I liked more in the Divinity 1 was, the enemies were much more physical at the start, like orcs with bows and swords, skeletons with bows and swords and not much elements, so you felt special like a Hero.in the Divinity 2, everyone at the first map uses everything elemental, everything explodes, everything is massive, burn everywhere etc, thats what I didnt like in the two.Īnd I liked more the crowd control of the 1 too, you had to be clever the the frosts and stuns etc.
