Several people liked one or more of the divine skills, but most were not particularly impressed.
The publisher rushed the completion of the game, so the wastelands ended up being mostly hack-and-slash. It is also easy, but that started half way through the game. Riftrunner should be much better balanced, and I believe the Larians said they did the ending first, so couldn't end up in the same situation (plus, CDV is no longer the publisher, and the new ones are hopefully better).
