  • Summary: You are a servant of the Divine - scourge of necromancers and sorcerers alike. Your purpose in life is to fight all that is evil using any means possible. Your dilemma? during an intense battle with one of the great necromancers, a demon drags you into its universe. There you are soul-forged with a Death-knight. You are cursed and destined to spend the rest of eternity bonded to this creature of evil. Or maybe not... The Death-knight dislikes the soul forging as much as you do and together you embark on a great adventure. You both have a common goal - to undo the soul forging. You and your unlikely companion quickly figure out that the only way to rid this curse is if you unlock the secret of riftrunning ? an ancient art that allowed the prison universe?s indigenous population to travel between universes.

  1. 90
    If you're looking for a lengthy (as in 100+ hours) RPG that blends quick and dirty gameplay with heaping plates of detail and sophisticated character development, no one else comes close to this series.
  2. 80
    If the game balance had matched the creativity and attention to overall design put into this title, I would probably have given it a 90, because the detail of construction and depth of the environment are truly excellent.
  3. Those that appreciate long, deep and difficult RPGs will have their hands full with Beyond Divinity. I can honestly say that this game is beyond me. I've played it for days and I still don't really know what the hell I'm doing.
  4. Beyond Divinity is like a rigged slot machine; you always win the same amount you put in, but the jackpot never comes. You’ll continue to play because you have nothing to lose, but it’s not as exciting.

    This is the most disappointing rpg title i have ever had the opportunity to play. Amongst the numerous reasons for this, is its lack of plot, infuriating battlefields with limitless foes and no big bad guy, a must in my opinion, and frustrating interface. It is absolutely no comparison to the epic boiware rpgs, so if that is what youre looking for don't pursue beyond divinity. Expand
