Divinity II: Ego Draconis Review

Larian Studios’ Divinity sequel is the subject of a two-part review over at RPGWatch, during which two of their editors give somewhat similar perspectives. The overall score is a 3/5, regardless of whose opinion has more merit to you:

I very much enjoyed Divinity 2, but I also have to say it didn’t meet my hopes and expectations. After a few hours I truly loved the game, but after a few more the weaknesses started showing through. It is a solid story-driven action-RPG that is a worthy addition to any genre fan’s library, but in a year that saw Drakensang, Dragon Age: Origins, Risen and the Mac release of Avernum 6, not to mention King’s Bounty: Armored Princess, it is hard to push Divinity 2 above any of those games as a necessary purchase. For ardent fans of Divine Divinity, the return to the setting and characters along with the brilliant music might be enough to justify paying full price to play immediately, but for most folks I would recommend waiting for a good sale or a lull in the RPG onslaught to give this a shot.
