Early Access Review
I got this game day one of Early Access. I played it on and off, sinking about 100+ hours into it in EA alone. Now that it's out and the hype has died down, I can give my personal opinions.

This is my favorite game. It joins the top of my other adored games. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Fallout New Vegas and FF7. Games I can replay and have fun even when I know the content. Games (except FF7) where you can choose a different starting path and open the game up in new ways.

I didnt get into Divos2 that much, I liked it, enjoyed it, it's a great game, but I never had it among my top. I love the DND universe (a lot of my hours in the game Conan Exiles is playing on RP servers dedicated to recreating DND settings). So if I have a bias, it's to the setting.

The game has bugs. It just does. I had one bug that really annoyed me, but the funny thing about a game like this is I actually found a way to solve the bug on my own, using game mechanics. The bugs didn't ruin the experience for me.

This game is also incredibly fun with friends. If you got 3 pals all with you, and you all are on the same turn order. It's just ever so satisfying for you all to coup de grace a single target together.

I love the characters, I loved the story, I love the feel and look of the world. Combat is fun. Even when you know how to handle a situation, you're free to do it the same way, or decide to try and tackle it a different way. Maybe it wont work, or maybe you do something so dumb and ridiculous it does work.

Lastly, I cried at the ending. Is it the best ending to a story ever? No, it does fall short in places for a finale. But the ending still sticks the landing for the journey you embarked on and made your own.

An absolutely blessing of a game. Thank you Larian, Swen, and all those who worked on it! Love it!
