![]() Over the forty or so hours we’ve now spent with this edition we’ve encountered no bugs or framerate drops, there are no horrendously long loading times and – beyond the character creation screen, where the drop in texture detail and resolution are most apparent – the concessions that have been made in squeezing this huge game onto Switch do very little to affect how it plays or looks compared to its console and PC counterparts. Almost unbelievably, beyond a quite understandable drop in resolution and texture quality, this is Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition running at a solid and dependable 30fps, with all content (besides local-co-op play) present and correct. ![]() Big concessions would have to be made, yes? Well, no. One of the biggest concerns we had when Larian’s epic was stealth-dropped onto Nintendo’s console during September’s rather impressive Direct presentation was how on earth they could ever fit this much content and detail onto a portable console. All Speech Subtitled (Or No Speech In Game).And it’s all here on Switch, fully voice-acted, every nook and cranny included. Here is a game set in an endlessly fascinating, dark and conflicted world filled to the brim with interesting characters, exquisitely written quests, deep and satisfying combat and a level of flexibility – in terms of the rules which govern it, in terms of your character, the choices you make and people you surround yourself with as you strike out into Rivellon – that can easily see you throw hundreds of hours its way. Originally released back in 2017, and later updated to this Definitive Edition which includes a raft of changes including a beefed-up tutorial area and reworked ending, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has, quite rightly, been lauded by critics as one of the finest RPGs ever made. Most everyone in this world has their own reasons for doing what they do, nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems and how you choose to act and connect with its inhabitants as this great story takes place all around you is the core element that makes this such a beguiling and engrossing RPG to play. This is a world shaped by decisions made in the here and now. Every choice that you make in the world of Rivellon is neither entirely right nor wrong. And so it goes in Larian studios’ epic RPG adventure.
