Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga Review

The folks at PlayerAffinity offers us a belated review for Larian Studios’ Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, and come away pretty pleased with the role-playing title, awarding it an 8.0/10.

You should be able to sink somewhere around 40 hours of game play into Divinity II, with more if you choose to complete the various side quests. The story deserves more attention here. The game is very aware of itself, and the clichéd plot it gives you on the surface. It makes fun of itself openly, especially through some of your dialogue options. You can sass everyone from your mentor to your arch nemesis, usually to their extreme annoyance. Morality itself is often questioned, as you can complete quests in many different ways (with several of these ways being anywhere from humorously grey to darkly black as far as good and evil go). For instance, you must choose the people who provide your fortress with upgrades. You get to choose between two people for each role. The person who did not make the cut, well, they get cut (if you know what I mean).

This is one of those games where you should not skip over the dialogue and story, if just for the laughs. Being as old as it is, you can wait for this to go on sale on Steam and other digital distributors. If it does, pick it up. At a bargain price, Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga is worth every penny.
