Another is that the game is not available on either the New Zealand or Australian stores, so at least for the time being you will need a US, or other supported territory profile to buy the game.

As far as negatives go, this is the big one. It was never severe enough for me to become frustrated by it, but it was noticeable and unfortunate even it if it was not unexpected. The sheer number of animated foes, effects, and particles stretch the Switch’s hardware to its very limits. It maintains a consistent 30 fps throughout, except when combat gets intense. Performance on the Switch, for the most part, is solid. I am happy to say it does not collapse, but it does struggle. I feared the Switch port would collapse under the weight of these systems. Fires spread, oil barrels explode, steam rises from evaporating water sources which can be turned into poisoned clouds, or a healing mist, or any number of other interesting and powerful effects you choose. Perhaps the most impressive part of this port and its most obvious flaw is that the complex physics and effects from the overlapping environmental combat systems seem to be completely intact.

It was only when I loaded up the PC version that I saw just how much has been pared back to allow the game to run as smoothly as possibly on Nintendo’s system. But to be fair when playing in handheld, I didn’t really notice those changes. The only real difference is the obviously lower resolution and less detailed textures. The transition to Switch retains all of these improvements. It takes the core game released in 2017 and expands and improves it across all aspects of the title by introducing a more friendly opening for new players, a deeper and more satisfying end, and a host of tweaks, improvements, additions, bug fixes, as well as a controller friendly control and interaction scheme.

The Switch version of DOS2 is essentially the same version I played on the PS4 in 2018. Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition empowers player agency more than any game I have ever played. It is also the most open story-driven game I have ever played, where freedom of choice is at the forefront of every interaction, be it a conversation, combat, how you choose to tackle a quest, or how you explore the world.

It boasts one of, if not the best narrative of any western RPG ever produced, and a complex turn-based combat system utilising a robust yet flexible system of interactive environmental, magic, and elemental systems. But if you are completely new to Larian’s RPG opus, here are the Cliff Notes Divinity Original Sin 2 is a party-based fantasy RPG. For a more detailed review of the core game, please read my previous reviews (which will be linked at the bottom of the page). I will not trek down the same path in my third review as all of the core game, story, and mechanics remain unchanged from the Definitive Edition release on Xbox, PS4 and PC from last year.
