What appears to be the first review of Larian's upcoming 'Beyond Divinity' can be found at C&VG. The article is clearly marked 'Divine Divinity' but it refers to Div Div in the past tense and quickly moves on to discuss Beyond Divinity. In addition, C&VG posted a review of Div Div in 2002 (written by none other than Rhianna Pratchett) with a score of 85%. BD is praised for interactivity but criticised for "old-skool" graphics and "messy" combat and the score is 71%:The fact is that of all the fantasy games out there, there are none that are as accessible as this series, while still offering such huge scope to explore the environment, the story and the characters themselves. The graphics are decidedly old-skool and the combat isn't nearly as tactical or as spectacular as the developer claims (I feel Larian should drop the Diablo-style combat entirely). However, with BioWare moving ever more mainstream, the Divinity series could well take over from where Baldur's Gate left off. |
