The 2017 sequel to the CRPG hit Divinity: Original Sin garnered plenty of praise. How does it play today? Jump Dash Roll takes a frank look back in today's Brutal Backlog review.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 now has current gen versions available for Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
I just bought it not even realizing it was just dropped for ps5. Im excited to get into it
People may not understand this but you get so much gameplay value out of a Larian game! It is basically 100s of possible hours with all the classes, decisions etc.
Great replay value, would suggest it to anyone who likes CRPGs.
I started bg3 again a month ago, to remember why I hated it. 100 hours later not only is it one of my favorites but i downloaded divinity 2 not even realizing it was just dropped for ps5.
The Dungeons and Dragons genre has seen a big wave of evolution through these 3 titles that defined the genre's success and direction.

These kinds of lists are often terrible for me, mainly because I either already have the games, or I'm just not interested in some of them. Great for people new to PC games or people who haven't kept up with game releases.
I'm too poor these days to buy every game like I used to. I quit my job because it was too exploitive. So until I find a new one I'll be enjoying my immense backlog lol
Mine's become very exploitative too, sick and tired of doing the work of 3 or 4 people, failing and getting stressed out while the company makes record profits every year. I can't go without work, but I'm hanging on until I can find something else, sometimes it sucks living in a rural/regional town.

Yeah I'm lucky that I can go without work for awhile. Otherwise I would have just had to bear it. Hang in there. One important thing is to always be looking for a job somewhere else on the side if you're even a little bit unsatisfied.
I've played through DOS2 on PC multiple times and bought it again on Switch. My take is pretty much the opposite of the reviewer each step of the way.
For story, I always felt like the early story was cliche until the twists started to materialize in the 2nd half. But it may also depend on who your main was in each, if you went with a preset character.
For gameplay, if you were on the lowest difficulty and got beat down that much, you were doing something very wrong. Even a halfway decently balanced team should make classic difficulty pretty manageable, let alone the lowest setting. Maybe if you're playing lone wolf and had a poorly specced character, than easy mode would be difficult, but I'm really at a loss to think of a party that would get dominated so much.
For those on the fence, it's considered one of the best rpgs this gen for a reason. There are tons of spoiler-free guides to help you set up a good team or character.
