UK Gamer has reviewed CDV's/Larian Studios' epic (it really is, I'm still not finished ;)) fantasy RPG Divine Divinity, awarding the game an overall score of 75%.

Here's a bit:
    Before I launch into the meat of it, I feel I must point out some of the really well designed points about this game. If you were to split the RPG genre in half, you would end up with involved, deep and tactical RPG's on one side (Baldur's Gate) and hack'n'slash on the other (Diablo). The flaw with the former is that the action can sometimes be too sparse for those wanting a good scrap every 15 seconds, and the latter can sometimes be too repetitive. Thank goodness that Divine Divinity is part-way between!
    Divinity (as it shall be known from now on) borrows heavily from amongst others, the Diablo series. The enemies come at you in droves, items are dropped from dead enemies that need to be identified, there is always a safe haven in the form of a village and even the character selection screen is unbelievably Diablo 2-esque. However, Divinity does have its redeeming features which can make you forgive the obvious 'borrowing' of ideas.
