A snip wich i agree 200%

"First and foremost, Ego Draconis is the living proof that good games are the result of a brilliant idea and dedication, rather then aggressive marketing and unswerving financing."



Conclusion:

If you are even remotely interested in playing a top quality RPG, with a narrative that hasn't been told and retold in every single game of the genre, then you shouldn't miss Divinity 2: Ego Draconis. For a company that doesn't spin millions, Larian Studios delivered a real gem, a sequel that surpasses the original in every imaginable way and should please even the most fastidious gamers.


Gameplay: 86

Divinity 2 is not a game to cruise through, thanks to the lengthy campaign, reasonable difficulty and the abundance of choices available at every stage, each one shaping the course of the future. Every important decision you make has reverberations throughout the rest of the story, so I wouldn't be surprised if people will choose to replay it, just a few minutes after reaching the final. Some players might feel a bit disappointed with the ending, but I give full credit to the game developers for not giving in to temptation and going for a predictable conclusion.

Graphics: 87

If you can afford to set the video quality on the very highest, then Divinity 2: Ego Draconis will charm you with some mesmerizing landscapes and overwhelming in-game cinematics. An incredible amount of attention was given to details, the design of characters, weapons and armors surpassing even the wildest expectations. There are plenty of dungeons to explore and the best part is none looks similar with the previous, the only common feature being the crushing feeling of confinement and desolation.

Sounds: 93

If we are to make some comments about the audio elements in Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, then it's impossible not to start with the outstanding voice acting. Some conversations are simply delightful with witty lines and characters that possess an amazing sense of humor, not to mention that every single quest giver has a powerful convincing voice. Furthermore the musical theme is dynamic and fits in properly, while some parts like those involving boss fights sound really majestic.

Hardware: 82

It takes a really powerful machine to run the game on the highest details and sometimes it pays off to make a few compromises, to enjoy the best gaming experience. The good thing is that you can still play a very good looking title by making just slight adjustments, not having to cut down heavily on details to keep the frame rate high and the action flowing smoothly.
