Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

Играем уже два года, пройти все никак не можем 12\10

Divinity: Original Sin combines very fun gameplay that is a pure dopamine boost with a charming although at times very silly story absolutely filled with content. It has its quirks but if you can handle a little bit of jank, silliness, Diablo amount of loot and love being OP by the act 2 then this game is perfect for you

Ця гра - це просто пожирач часу. Ти садишся на годинку і отямуєшся коли за вікном вже темно. Вона дарує тобі букет емоцій. Ось зараз ти гориш від багу, коли твій фаєрбол просто кудись зник, не завдавши жодного дамагу, а тепер ти радієш як дитя, бо вдалося двічі поспіль законтролити клятого величезного павука, через що ти вбив боса, майже не отримавши дамагу. Видно що ця гра дебютна для студії. Є непотрібні механіки на кшталт розпізнавання предметів, є перегружений інвентар, де важко знайти щось потрібне, є баги, є якісь недопрацювання в гейм дизайні, особливо в кінці гри. Але ж які емоції вона дарує вам натомість. Це справжня пригода, де вас не ведуть за руку, а просто натякають що треба зробити і відпускають у світ. По суті світ гри невеличкий - 3-4 великих локації і купка підземель, але ж як щільно тут натикано контенту. Все якимось чином між собою пов'язано, нічого зайвого немає. Ти можеш отримати квест в перші години гри, а потім раптово знайти підказки для проходження цього квесту на 50 годині гри. В цілому ця гра - справжній діамант, не дуже відомий широкому загалу. Якщо ви не боїтесь хардкору, якщо ви любите старі РПГ, або хоча б вам сподобалась Брама Балдура 3, то дайте шанс і цій грі. Обіцяю, ви не пожалкуєте.

I was stuck in the first town doing sidequest to lvl up. 22 hours and I'm still doing the same thing in the same town and it triggered my mid-life crisis. WTF

The events and story of this game have next to zero impact on the second game. You do not need to play this. Divinity Original Sin 1 feels like a VERY early alpha test branch of the second game, and has numerous, numerous issues. One word description: Annoying. Two word description: Crowd control. The entire game, start to finish. Massive fixation with crowd control. If you don't hard CC every group of enemies you will be CC'd. Every single boss uses adds as crutches. Usually large numbers of adds, every single one of which will stun/freeze/knockdown etc. Item progression is painfully slow. My gear at level 20 was half comprised of gear I got around level 6-8 because nothing better ever dropped or was available to buy. "Puzzles" in this game are painfully generic and very restrictive. There are not multiple ways to solve them, and just require brute force problem solving, exploring and interacting with literally everything in the environment. They do not encourage thoughtful examination or critical thinking. They have a single, arbitrary method to resolve any given situation, and many rely on instant-kill mechanics. Case and point, to open a specific magical door you must interact with a lobster on the floor of the room. One of perhaps a dozen random objects in the room, and no there is no reason, correlation, or hints of any kind given. In short: Almost every quest is painfully restrictive and just requires brute force methods for problem solving, there is zero use for critical thinking here. Every fight is either kiting around line of sight, or using hard crowd control because the only way that difficulty could be achieved was ensuring that every group of enemies could fully incapacitate an entire group of four "usually with multiple forms of CC simultaneously," unless either CC'd themselves or forced to play hide and seek with the players. Two lone wolf characters, an aero/hydro mage and a warrior, with extreme emphasis on initiative for the mage utterly trivializes the entire game. 3/4 of engagements we didn't get hit once.

i would rate this merely OK. All of its many positives are outweighed by tedium and unforeseen complexity. Its more work than fun for me. The intro quest was super boring and I played it before in Ultima 7. If you are a die hard fan of this genre, you will not regret a playthrough to add it your collection. If you are less than zealous for this genre, skip this title and go straight to Divinity II.
