9.0If 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.

Critic reviews
- Touch Arcade10Divinity: Original Sin 2 is absolutely essential and something I’m still surprised exists with such a fine conversion.
- Nintendo World Report9.5I thoroughly enjoyed my experience but still felt shaky on mechanics nearly 60 hours in. I spent hours scouring vague message boards for a foothold. I didn't find what I assume to be the main plot until I bombed a wall in a dungeon around hour 40. Divinity begs for multiple 100+ hour replays, a quest I’d gladly accept if time allowed. If anyone is looking for what I feel comfortable calling the biggest game on Switch, Divinity: Original Sin II Definitive Edition deserves your attention.
- Cultured Vultures8.0Divinity: Original Sin II on the Switch does a wonderful job of staying true to the original PC and console versions with no major drawbacks, despite the Switch’s hardware downgrade, even if the menus can be their own mini-boss.
- Dual Shockers8.5Even if you don’t have a PC, DOS 2 is still worth the look. It’s too funny, too unique, and too unpredictable to miss, and the Switch port, while flawed, offers an adequate way of experiencing it.
- Critical Hit9.5An incredible port of an incredible game, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is just as ground-breaking and clever as it was on PC while running impressively well on the Switch’s lower-end spec.

Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition
Complicated and exhausting at times, but what an amazing game.
Masterpiece
A masterpiece of a game. Have put 250 hours into it across 5 playthroughs (not all complete) and still find new tiny aspects of the story, or world, or even new satisfying ways to engage in combat. Great solo and yet maybe even better with 1 or more friends, would recommend to all people, and would recommend they fully immerse themselves.

What an amazing game. One of my favorites on the Switch. I was hesitant to play a dense isometric rpg, but after giving it a shot for a couple hours I got hooked and didn’t put it down until 100+ hours later. It’s so amazingly crafted, with endless depth and options and a fantastic battle system. My wife isn’t much of a gamer but she enjoys board games, chess, Age of Empires style games, and once I introduced her to this she fell in love with it too. We ended up picking it up on PS4 so we could play in co-op - unfortunately Switch doesn’t have co-op :( The customization is just so engaging, and makes for great multiple play-throughs. My two other favorite games on the system are Witcher and BotW, which although this is different as it isn’t action based, it provides the same or deeper level of engaging exploration, and deep open world fun. Literally the only small cons I have are I wish the characters could run (they just lightly jog and there’s a lot of world to explore) and the inventory management can be a little clunky. But otherwise a near perfect gaming experience.
This game give you a lot of chose but I get bored reading text :) this is bad for me but I know many people enjoy this. All I have played turn based games this is the best turn base combat. But for me normally action combat > turn base combat. If you like turn base combat you must try this game.
best rpg ever!!!
