"We loved the original so much, we gave it a 9.6. This edition improves on it in almost every way... so we gave it the same score..." ~IGN

[absynth]

Still pissed this wasn’t called the Divinitive Edition.

[Vante]

Does anyone else watch DOS2 videos just to hear what you already know

[MichaelFoschi]

A fantastic piece, still 80 hours in haven't even reached deep in to it, there is so much attention to detail and replayability it is INCREDIBLE.

[mizunaut]

9.6 one of the best RPG's ever lovingly crafted based off of feedback and criticism from the fanbase specifically.

[GideonCyn]

This game shocked me with its level of depth. A masterpiece and an instant classic!

[gravendanger]

I’m sorry, but they didn’t complete a playthrough? How are you reviewing a game when you haven’t done act 3&4 which has had the most changes

[camw]

Just bought the game. I'm lost, confused, and not a clue how to even properly build my And I'm loving every minute of it.

[indaghoul]

Quick tip, on console you can force split screen in case you prefer it and don't like the sudden snap by pushing left on the d pad

[AlluBB]

The freedom that you have in this game is outright jaw-dropping. Seriously, be creative, throw everything you have at your problem and see what sticks! Also the music is absolutely fantastic, my favorites being "Power of Innocence", "Rivellon" and "Mead, Gold and Blood" give em' a listen!

[saiyangodbroly]

This game is a masterpiece. So many games tout their player freedom and choice, but this one of the only games where I truly felt that freedom. It's just an absolute joy to play.

[Accuracy]

Bioware has fallen and disintegrated. Larian is now filling their role in the game development world. CD Projekt is still amazing and hopefully the real Bethesada will return to us soon.

[adamlantos]

They made a review without playing through the rewritten third act?!

[nathancox]

When I'm not playing this game, I'm watching videos about it

[GomuGomu]

Imagine if larian does a fallout series... I can already imagine so many apocalyptic interactions.

[steerj]

Stop messing about, it's a 10. The greatest RPG there's ever been.

[wayneoberg]

something that the reviewer does not mention. There are balance issues with overpowered skilled tress (I am looking at the summoner skill tree and the lone wolf skill tree). And all of the encounters are wonderfully designed. There is always a way to improve the outcome of a scenario through strategy.

[Senriam]

I’ve beaten this game twice on the standard edition and am currently playing through on Definitive. It’s turned an already fantastic game into one that is even more balanced. Plenty of quality of life changes too.

If you were holding off on this game because it seemed a bit too complicated, now is your time to dive in.


It’s just as complex and challenging as ever, but a lot of “what the hell just happened” moments are either gone/understandable

[ArifSelect]

What got my respect is the depth of their world.. every item has a mwaning, even a common item that lay on the floor can give you a story or a quest.. for example almost all body parts in the game has a unique story for each of them..

[rottenfungus]

Great review Brandin. Have been listening to you on the IGN Xbox podcast for a while, and it’s nice to see you review one of my favourite games ever.
