“tl;dr The game is old but plays surprisingly well. Recommending it. This is a type of game that feels like your first time playing d&d with friends. It starts with reading 30 pages of lore and story. The plot follows…”

“The game is definitely fun and enjoyable. The graphics are alright. The music is cool. The controls are not bad. Everything is understandable enough. The end game, however, is tedious, but maybe if you build your…”

“If you like old school games, and don't mind reading some guides it's pretty fun. I've ran into some broken quests so I'd recommend reading into those preferably without spoilers. Well worth the euro or so I spent on…”
“lots of fun but buggy. definitely worth it though”
“This is where it all started for the Divinity series. It’s a strange mix of Diablo-style clicking and actual deep RPG storytelling. Like the newer ones, the mechanics can be a bit tricky and old-school, but for a game…”

“Janky cross between diablo 1 and baldur's gate which works much worse than that sounds. I played this when it hit the clearance rack a year or two after release and tried it again more recently. My opinion hasn't…”

“Brilliant game! on par with all Baldur Gates and DOS series! the only annoying thing to me is that the dungeons are enormous and endless, that is not in a good way (endless map of the same stuff, just to then be opened…”
