Great game, lots of content.

First let me say..great game, lots of content. It is a turn based RPG though, so be warned. However it is accessible for every skill level. Explorer is the easy difficulty, classic is normal, tactician is hard. Also there is a noticeable downgrade going from docked to handheld mode. The lower resolution results in the game looking blurry in certain spots, but not to a problematic degree. On the plus side the Switch and the Switch Lite relatively small screens are capable of handling everything you need to see without feeling cramped. Even the on-screen text is easy to see in handheld mode. Divinity: Original Sin II Definitive Edition is a masterpiece and a dream come true for RPG fans. Definitely worth buying, as it has plenty hours of gameplay for your money.

Fantastic Game but not good on Switch Lite or TV

This is a fantastic game and if you plan on playing it in handheld on the ORIGINAL Switch then this game is for you (5 stars). It is beautiful and plays amazing but only in handheld. It does not play well on the Switch Lite because you cannot see everything and you will miss enemies and the poison looks exactly like the grass and it's difficult to see the text. I bought it to play on the Switch Lite and it was a frustrating experience. I also have the original Switch so I tried it on the TV and the graphics are terrible and hard on the eyes and then I tried it in handheld mode and it was amazing and the graphics are so much better but like I said before, I bought it to play not the Switch Lite so I'm only giving it 3 stars. I recommend buying it on the Xbox or Playstation.

“ ooh ya bb thas right...” are the words that go t

“ mmmmmmhhhmmmmmm ooh ya bb thas right...” are the words that go through my mind and out my mouf when I see and feel and smell and think about this game and the case it came to me it. Half way to rock solid is how I feel “down there” when I slide the slick smooth case against my equally smooth face check. First on the left cheek now the right. Again and again. Very nice indeed ooh yes. Hehe. Feel gud man. I do like. Daddy likey he do. Heh so I continue to slip and slide the game nestled within its slick and smooth and cool case against my cheeks one after the other after the other after another then a nother and nother. When will I stop? Maybe never hehe

$60 for a bad port? WOW

This clearly deserves only 1 star considering it is FULL price for an old game. Unbelievably poor choice on Nintendo's part or whoever is to blame for the ridiculous price tag on this. Also, it doesn't look nearly as good as the PS4 Pro/Xbox One X, or PC versions. Very poor performance in 2020.

One of the best games of the past decade!

If you immersive strategic rpgs like Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and Dragon Age Origins then this is the game for you!

Excellent classic RPG for Switch

The game itself is a legendary CRPG throwback to the old days of computer gaming, with deeply satisfying combat, superbly-designed quests, and an engaging story tying it all together. Its availability on Switch is icing on the cake, as the game lends itself well to Nintendo's hybrid console. With PC cross-saves, you really cannot go wrong with this title. The physical edition is, in my view, well-worth the mark-up (the digital version is $50) due to the inclusion of a wonderful instruction booklet and the ability to save precious storage space on your Switch or SD card.

Very Deep RPG Gameplay

This game is brutally hard in the beginning but so satisfying as you figure out how to exploit the combat and explore the world.

Great isometric RPG

In the same vein as Baldur's Gate, this western RPG builds and expands upon the same tropes. It is not innovative in terms of gameplay, but the story is compelling and really drives the interest of the game. You do not need to have played the previous game to understand the dynamics of this game, but it adds to understanding the lore. Overall, it is a fun western RPG that doesn't push the envelope, but illustrates why one can get lost in a western RPG.

Amazing game, if you like turn based strategy

Absolutely love this game and I think its so cool to have an alternate artwork version from Best Buy. It's published by Limited Run Games but specifically BB has an alt artwork and I like it better than the original. Plus its a much lower production run than most any games so it'll be harder to find in time, raising its value. Totally recommend picking it up over the digital version.

Fantastic so far.

Great story telling so far after ten hours. Every character is interesting. World is absolutely filled with lore. And every bit of humor is executed well. Love the game so far.
