Divinity: Original Sin 2 has really improved on the original in so many ways! I must admit that while I found D:OS1 interesting, it failed to capture my attention for long. D:OS2 is the opposite - I can't put it down!

The story in D:OS2 is a huge improvement on the first one. The characters are all unique and interesting, the plot is compelling and you always understend what your goal is.

I love the dialogue - TONS of choices that have a very real impact on gameplay. There are some dialogue choices that will give you quests, or start a fight, or earn a reward - when you replay the game, you can choose a different approach and experience a different outcome!

Combat is challenging, but very rewarding. You can choose which role each character plays and each role has abilities that synergise with others - e.g. use Decaying Touch, which makes healing cause damage instead, then get your healer to cast Regeneration on the affected enemy! The game autosaves at the start of combat, so if you fail you can always try another tactic or just flee.

The visuals in D:OS2 are another impressive improvement on the original. Everything looks amazing - backgrounds, characters, attack animations, lighting. I particularly like the design of the equipment - changing your gear will change your character model, and different races/genders have unique designs for the same type of armour.

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who loved D:OS1, or who loves D&D-style RPG adventures, OR who loves turn-based tactical combat with lots of options.
