“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…”
