What it is, however, is an extremely solid, incredibly addictive and highly entertaining game that takes the best elements of past RPGs and fuses them in a wonderfully engaging whole. Borrowing the action from Diablo 2, the tactical combat pause and open quest systems of Baldur's Gate, not to mention the non-linear and interactive style of Ultima 7, this game has an impeccable pedigree, one that's only enhanced by its stunningly polished and intuitive control scheme. Though it's easy to fault Divine Divinity for being as derivative as it is, there's simply no denying the sheer, unadulterated fun to be had from exploring its expansive landscape. And while the vast amounts of combat will likely label this as an action-RPG, the game features actual role-playing, non-linearity, as well as a blissfully versatile skill system that combine to enable players to mould their characters as they see fit, giving them the chance to help create the kind of experience they wish to have. It might be a tad rough around the edges, but Divine Divinity's got more than enough where it counts, and easily stands as one of the best RPGs of the year.
