Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is more than just a port. Within, Larian has rewritten and reworked massive pieces to address players concerns and make it the best version yet of an already excellent turn-based RPG.

Can a console port ever measure up against its PC sibling? Larian Studios' latest entry in the Divinity: Original Sin series manages just fine. Read more in our Divinity Original Sin 2 PS4 review.

Divinity: Original Sin II is a fantastic role-playing game that strikes an almost perfect balance between dense, absorbing storytelling, and allowing you the freedom to shape the adventure as you wish. The journey through to the end credits will take you dozens of hours to complete, and during that time you’ll meet scores of well-written characters, be forced to make many thought-provoking decisions, and fight leagues of formidable, sometimes sympathetic enemies.

Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition comes to consoles, bringing Larian Studios' critically acclaimed Western RPG to a new audience.

If you can’t play on PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch is a perfectly fine way to play. It has its issues and quirks that make it more of a companion to the PC version, but being able to play wherever you want makes up for it.

Larian Studios' long-running Divinity series finally has a console release for its most recent grand adventure.

A constantly evolving game that will keep you occupied for hours and months on end. With fantastic storytelling and engaging combat there is a lot to love about Divinity Original Sin II.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 launched on PC last year to a whole lot of accolades and critical acclaim. Almost a year later, the Definitive Edition of the isometric RPG gives console players the chance – nay, the freaking gift – of experiencing this gob-smackingly impressive game for themselves.

Original Sin 2 shakes your hand a little too hard when you first meet. It needs to relax until you get to know it better. It's endlessly surprising, with characters that lose their stiffness over time, in dialogues and battle logs that piece together a dangerous, thoughtful world. It's tough. But the reward is that you get tougher, too. It still needs to clean up some of its tactical sloppiness, though. Having a ton of options in battle is only good if its rules are fair and make sense.

I was surprised at how meticulously crafted the visuals of Original Sin 2 are, as I often had the camera zoomed out. Upon taking a closer look, I found the environments and character to be remarkably detailed. The gorgeous soundtrack rounds the package out wonderfully, while the expertly-performed voicework can either be suitably dramatic, or wonderfully goofy.
