    It has a few minor flaws, but the overwhelming amount of fun this game offers more than makes up for it.
  2. DailyGame

    Good stuff for RPG fans everywhere, though a bit too difficult and time-consuming for the casual gamer.
  3. GameZone

    If you have ever played "Diablo," "Dungeon Siege," or "Baulders Gate," than this game will become second home to you. The game has a very similar pace, but it does have a different flare to it by some of the gameplay additions such as solving puzzles and sneaking around.

    You will inevitably find yourself getting tired of all the levers and keys, and frustrated by the scripting bugs and inventory glitches.

    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.

    An incredibly generic RPG. Often playable, but sometimes frustrating and never original through its 100 hours plus playing time. In a PC market that thrives on innovation, Larian Games seem to have missed something fundamental.
  7. PC Format
    59
    Ostensibly worthy, but fundamentally uninspiring – the only value is the size.

    That's what captivated me in this game was a relation between our Hero and Dark Knight.
    Also story is very good with many unusal quests.    That's what captivated me in this game was a relation between our Hero and Dark Knight.

TheyThis game is at 1 point interesting story, gameplay, rather unique setting, at another side really awful battlefields (parallel worlds). They are not random generated. There are only 5 kinds of dungeons with 6 reskin options. You need to go there only for stupid grind for money to pay for abilities & armor. You will need to spend up to 40% of your time there.… Expand

The world is not colorful, the amount of conversations that is known in Divinity series is close to missing compared to DD. The dungeon system in battleground is repetitive and dull. The skill point system lacks the imagination. I was to complete the game but I wouldn't suggest it to be played. You can go to the different Divinity games without playing this game and you will not miss much.… Expand

Amongst the numerous reasons for this, is its lack of plot, 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
