For someone who has enjoyed many role-playing games, this is not a bad game per se. You will definitely get your fix and it will last a long time. However this longevity can get a little tiresome, you have to a do a lot of walking around and a lot of hack ‘n’ slash to approach your goal and the story is simply not interesting enough (like in the BioWare games, as an example). Beyond Divinity is like a rigged slot machine; you always win the same amount you put in, but the jackpot never comes. You’ll continue to play because you have nothing to lose, but it’s not as exciting.
