The possibilities in Divinity: Original Sin 2 feel endless, and the game absolutely rewards you for trying something different and going off the beaten path. Or, if you’ve progressed far enough in a certain quest, you might even avoid combat altogether and talk your way out of a nasty situation. Ranged attackers deal more damage from higher ground, poison puddles can be struck with a spark to create a devastating fire, and if you’ve got the necessary tools, you can teleport your enemies into a fire pit over and over again.
The turn-based tactical combat system is deep and satisfying, and planning ahead of your battles is paramount to success. However, Divinity also gives you the freedom in choosing how you want to deal with your encounters in the game. The Fractured but Whole is a perfect length, and bows out just before it starts to wear out its welcome.ĭivinity: Original Sin 2 isn’t an easy game, and even if you choose to play on the lowest difficulty setting, you’ll certainly still run into quite a bit of trouble during certain combat encounters.
The game amounts to a 15-20 hour long South Park episode. It is very simple to pick up and play for those just playing for the story, but has a lot of depth and strategy there too for those that want to master the game.Īnd, of course, there’s the obvious point of it just being hysterical assuming you’re into the series’ over-the-top, nothing off limits, offensive humor. South Park: The Fractured but Whole is one of the most refreshing, face-paced, and fun TRPGs we’ve played in years. Not content with not messing with what worked in the first game, Ubisoft and South Park Studios switched the genre to a tactical-RPG style and it worked wonders. The Fractured but Whole picks up where The Stick of Truth leaves off narratively, but takes a lot of brave chances with its gameplay. We’ve been through the shock of “Wow South Park is actually a good RPG” before, but somehow, it still amazes us.
The storytelling also feels woefully lacking, and your enjoyment of Nioh will depend on how much you love the game’s action combat. However, while Nioh absolutely nails it on the gameplay front, its systems can start to feel a little bloated once you’ve sunk enough time into the game. Sure, you can’t create a custom character, but you can certainly forge your own unique weapons with various abilities, and even customize the appearance of your armor however you like. Not to mention, Nioh also prides itself on giving players all the customization freedom they could possibly want in an RPG. Even though the weapon type selection is somewhat limited, the move set variety for each type ensures that you’ll still be learning new moves and mastering techniques even after a hundred hours into the game. From the Ki pulse mechanic to the various moves you can pull off with the three different stances, Nioh literally lets you play the game however you like. Despite taking many cues from the Souls series, Nioh’s combat system is wonderfully deep with so many intricacies and complex techniques to learn. Without a doubt, Nioh is the best action RPG we’ve seen in all of 2017.
