Original Sin EE - More Reviews

Here are three more reviews for Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition.

Venturebeat, an ongoing review

Last year’s deep, organic, interactive, and occasionally funny Divinity: Original Sin made PC RPG players very happy, and this year’s Enhanced Edition will definitely do the same. If you haven’t played it yet, snap it up immediately on that platform.

If you’re a console player, you should be aware that a little control wonkiness and some extra, unnecessary difficulty await you.

That said, those problems shouldn’t be enough to scare you away from a tremendous RPG. Even with its faults, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition offers the best console co-op RPG action this side of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II.

The rating for this review will come when I’m done with the story, but the gameplay alone will earn a very high score.

God is a Geek, 8.5

The Enhanced Edition comes with 80,000 lines of spoken dialogue, most of it very well-delivered. Because of this, there’s a vein of black comedy running through Original Sin that often had me chuckling. The musical score is excellent, too, which does wonders for the atmosphere. Character models are bright and highly detailed, while the world is colourful and vibrant, closer in style to Torchlight than Diablo. It’s an engaging and inviting world, only really hamstrung by its unwillingness to hold your hand or offer real guidance.

Thanks to the release of Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin is not quite unique on PS4, but not much comes close. A sprawling, exciting adventure that makes you work for your rewards, Larian’s tactical RPG has tonnes to offer fans of the genre, though newcomers may struggle to get to grips with its more complex systems.

Playstation Lifestyle, 9

If there is one real knock against Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition it’s that the game has way too many difficulty spikes. Players will have to learn to save often, as wandering into the wrong part of a map, or stepping on a trap, can wipe away hours of progress in an instant. Players will have to play cautiously, and save often, if they wish to get through Larian Studios’ excellent RPG.

Ultimately, playing Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition on consoles is a fantastic experience. It may not be the best way to play, as PC still reigns supreme, but it’s a fantastic version of an already great game. If you’re willing to roll the die, and have luck decide your fate, then you’ll have a blast playing through Larian Studios’ update of Divinity: Original Sin.
