Divinity II: Ego Draconis Reviews

Another pair of Divinity II reviews have hit the web, though neither of them comes across as very favorable.

RPGamer starts us off with a 2.5/5:

There is fun to be had in Divinity II, especially in terms of exploration and customization. Unfortunately, the game’s poorly plotted story and uneven difficulty will challenge the patience of most players, even those who enjoy parts of the game. The game is long, easily stretching to sixty hours, and the player can’t take many shortcuts due to the need to level up as much as possible to survive. Although I mostly enjoyed the first half of the game, I thought its weaknesses multiplied during the second half. It ended up feeling like an extended slog punctuated by fun moments and moments that caused me to yell at the computer in frustration. Divinity II is worth a look to players who love exploration and customization, but it requires a lot of patience and a willingness to tolerate its many foibles.

And then Original Gamer goes with a 6.0/10:

Like I said, Divinity 2 isn’t a bad game and it’s not great. It’s one of the many games that plays it by the book and tries to make a name for it. Most of my time playing was just watching the screen load while trying just to get through a door. Other than that, it was alright but I’ll just wait for something else to come along. This has lots of potential of becoming a good game, it just needs the bugs to be fixed. Other than that the best part for me was raining down pain with my fire breath as a dragon. So give it a rental before buying.
