![]() ![]() Like many games that ultimately come to the Switch, there’s a noticeable hit to the resolution, though I didn’t feel it was a big issue while playing in handheld mode unless I put my face right up against the screen – which you shouldn’t get in the habit of anyway. Of course, the platform matters as much as the port, and while there are some issues inherent to running Divinity on the Switch, they’re equally offset by the positives – namely you can play this mega-RPG on the go, which should bump up the completion rate considerably for those who can’t spend 100 hours sitting at a PC. And, though I should know better than to bet against Larian by now, I’m surprised by just how close the Switch port is to its PC counterpart. Somehow Larian has taken the massive scope and breadth of this 80- to 150-hour game and made it fit on the Nintendo Switch. That same spirit of “this shouldn’t work but somehow it does” is extended to the Nintendo Switch port of Divinity Original Sin 2: Definitive Edition. But, lo and behold, the Definitive Edition on a console is as lossless an experience as you could hope to see. There are too many options, skills, interactive objects, and mechanics that require the familiar cascading dropdown menus and precision of a mouse to make work. ![]() Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch Released: September 5, 2019When I originally reviewed the Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition – this review that you’re reading now – I was shocked at how smoothly and seamlessly Larian Studios was able to translate a hardcore PC roleplaying game like Divinity 2 to consoles. Things like fleshed out character stories and interactions, a no-pressure story mode, reworked and brand new fights, character pacing, a new comprehensive arena mode and more round out this Definitive Edition, and I’m most excited to see the largely rewritten third act when I finally get back to it. Of the number of positive changes introduced in the Definitive Edition by developer Larian Studios, most will likely go unnoticed unless you’ve invested dozens of hours into the original. But all things considered, the Xbox One X is consistently the shiniest, best performing console version. While the standard Xbox One and PS4 are no slouches either, there are noticeable dips in framerate in graphically intensive areas, and all consoles infrequently jerk when the big fireworks go off mid-battle. Quality does depend on the power of your box though, with visuals popping on both the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro – especially in HDR. From there, they will use them to build future expansions for the game.“Technically, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one of the most beautiful looking isometric RPGs and that hasn’t changed. Then, you'll input your group's choices and Lynnvander will collect the community's choices. You'll redeem it on Lynnvander Studios' site once you finish the game. ![]() Basically, each copy of Divinity Original Sin: The Board Game comes with a one-time use code. The most interesting part of the whole system is undoubtedly the "Chronicle System". You'll be using items and skills to fight off monsters while making sure to pay attention to various elemental interactions. ![]() And, of course, as more stretch goals are unlocked, even more playable characters will be added to the game.Ĭombat looks very similar to the video game series. You will play as one of four Origin characters, with two of them being brand-new, official additions to the Divinity universe. The game uses Lynnvander's "Chronicle System" to allow your choices in each game to impact future playthroughs. Divinity Original Sin: The Board Game is a fully cooperative experience for 1-4 players. ![]()
