Tags: Divine DivinityGamer's Temple has posted their review of Divine Divinity. The reviewer generally liked it, faulting things like losing enemies behind trees and dark areas being hard to navigate. Overall, it received an 81%. Here's a bit I liked in the review:
RPG reviewers often describe games in terms of other RPGs. There are not as many RPGs released each year as there are games in other genres, so it becomes easy to say that one game is like Diablo while another is similar to Baldur's Gate. If you tried to apply the same review by comparison to Divine Divinity, you would be able to find a lot of parallels to existing games, but calling it another Diablo clone would be selling it short. It may contain elements effectively used in other RPGs, but the sum of Divine Divinity's parts add up to a unique game, and one that is definitely worth a look.
I like this guy. He speaks truth.
