Divinity II: Ego Draconis Impressions (360)

 Alright guys, to kick start my website again I am here to bring you some impressions on a sleeper hit called Divinity II: Ego Draconis for the Xbox 360 (also available on the PC). I picked this game up on a whim, not knowing too much about it. I had actually tried the demo very briefly and honestly was not very impressed. I decided to take a chance however and buy the game, it's just one of those impulse buy moments I have every once and awhile. I am very glad I did, as I am now nearing 8 hours into the game and am sucked into the fantasy world that Divinity 2 provides.

First of all, this is a single player action RPG which plays quite similar to an MMO. You are in a large semi-open world and tasked with slaying monsters, taking on a multitude of quests, and advancing your character though stat, skill, and equipment upgrades. What sets Divinity 2 apart from other games of the same genre is its attention to fine little details, tons of hidden areas, engaging story, and oh yea...you can transform into a dragon. Unfortunately I am not yet up to that part of the game yet, even though I am 8 hours in I have not been able to play as a dragon besides a brief moment in a storyline sequence.
