Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is a new way to play one of the absolute best RPGs in years. And whether you're diving back in on PC, or booting it up on the console for the first time, it's flexibility, personality, and charm make for an amazing adventure.

Divinity: Original Sin II Definitive Edition manages to make an already fantastic RPG even better.

With stellar writing, challenging combat, a compelling central quest, and dozens of worthwhile side activities, Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the finest role-playing games available on PlayStation 4. There's the occasional small issue and some scant technical hiccups – particularly when playing online – but these are minor quibbles. This is a dense, engrossing adventure, packed to the hilt with stories worth hearing, conflicts you'll want to resolve, and secret treasures just begging to be discovered.

From its opening moments upon a prison ship bound for Fort Joy to non-stop adventures that take you across the high seas to the Reaper’s Coast, Nameless Isle and beyond, Divinity: Original Sin 2 simply dazzles.

Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition comes to consoles, bringing Larian Studios' critically acclaimed Western RPG to a new audience.

Divinity: Original Sin II is an exceptional take on the whole CRPG/Dungeons and Dragons thing. Most of the time, games like this are too clunky and obtuse to work on consoles, and are hard to get into due to the UI, but Larian cracked the code and made it work beautifully. It’s a bit disappointing that the Joy-Con 2’s mouse feature was overlooked, but it’s impressive how well it performs on a console using just a gamepad. This is an awesome port, and the fact that it’s a free upgrade for anyone who owns the 2019 Nintendo Switch version makes it totally worth jumping back in with a new character.

Bringing together the best aspects of computer RPGs, Divinity: Original Sin 2 remains one of the best games of the genre ever made, even years after its debut. Despite some questionable points, its conversion to the Switch 2 has a very positive overall result, especially when considering the free upgrade for those who already own (or intend to acquire) the Switch version. Therefore, in the end, there's no denying that Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a great way to experience or revisit Larian's extensive and captivating adventure, now on Nintendo's newest console.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition was, remains, and will continue to be a must-have role-playing game. What's more, if you own the Switch 1 version, this return to Switch 2 is completely free. Got that, Nintendo?

If you can't play on PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch is a perfectly fine way to play. It has its issues and quirks that make it more of a companion to the PC version, but being able to play wherever you want makes up for it.

With a learning curve that will appeal mostly to CRPG enthusiasts, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a solid game worth anyone’s time–with some caveats.
