Overstays its welcome and the writing is just constant word vomit. The entire game lasts way too long, voice acting is EXTREMELY cringe and overacted. Characters always talk like Shakespeare and it feels like 60% of the time you're reading either The Bible itself or an epic by Nietzsche. I could never take the game even remotely seriously turning my entire experience, which is a big problem when there are several million lines of dialogue.

Normal character: "Oh damn, my house! I hope someone can help me out."

Divinity character: "Oh, cruel and capricious Fate! Hath thou no pity for a humble abode, so wrenched from the bosom of existence by thy merciless grasp? As the flames did dance and writhe in their unholy frenzy, so too did they engulf the very fabric of my being, leaving but ashes in their wake. Hath my dwelling, a haven of warmth and hearth, fallen victim to the inferno's relentless appetite. Perchance, 'twas the mischievous hand of the wind, whispering secrets to the flames, that did set this tragic spectacle in motion. Or mayhap 'twas the malevolent spirits of envy and spite, lurking in the shadows, who did conspire to bring ruin upon my once-cherished abode. Oh, hearths and rafters that once cradled my dreams and aspirations, how art thou now but soot and cinder? The tapestries that adorned thy walls, like pages torn from the annals of time, now reduced to mere memories. The laughter that once echoed through these halls, now silenced by the ruthless roar of the flames. Did I offend the gods with my humble existence? Did I unknowingly transgress some cosmic law, inviting their wrath upon my hearth? Nay, for what mortal sin could warrant such retribution? What punishment befits a man whose only crime was to seek solace beneath his own roof? Oh, woe is me! The scalding tears of sorrow stream down my cheeks, akin to the very fire that razed my abode. How shall I go on, bereft of the sanctuary that sheltered my heart from the tempestuous whims of the world? A phoenix may rise from the ashes, but shall I, a mere mortal, find the strength to rebuild from the ruins of my shattered dreams? Though the embers of my home may have been extinguished, the flame of my spirit yet flickers amidst the darkness. With steadfast resolve, I shall rise like a titan from the depths of despair. I shall forge anew, with sweat and toil, a dwelling that shall rise even grander than before. And may the heavens bear witness to my unyielding determination, that no calamity, no blaze, shall ever extinguish the light within."

You think I'm exaggerating, but no that's how ALL of the dialogue in this game is. It's insufferable.

Coop sucks, it's really just one player controlling everything and the second person tagging along. Imagine making a game where the 2nd coop player is the third wheel.

Combat is admittedly OK, but again overstays it's welcome. Even if you like turn based combat you'll be exhausted before you've even hit the halfway point. Real time with pause would much better fit the game, but it's obvious they made the combat extremely slow on purpose to inflate the playtime (along with making a 2 sentence piece of dialogue be 40 pages, Larian should consider politics)

Unfortunately, just like Torment: Tides of Numenera, this is much more of a series of novels than an actual game.

This entire game feels like a parody meme, yet you're supposed to take it seriously and stick with it for 60+ hours.

The sequel is better in a lot of ways, play that instead.

This war is peace.

Pride, feeds their blackened hearts. The thirst, must be quenched, to fuel hypocrisy

Cleansing flames, is the only way to repent. Renounce, what made you

Words that kill, would you speak them to me

With your breath so still, it makes me believe the Sins never die, can't wash this blood off our hands

Let the world fear us all, it's just means to an end

Our salvation lies, in the Father’s sins. Beyond the truth, let me suffer now.

In my heart I just know that there's no way to light up the dark in his eyes

When the world witnesses Sahelanthropus, the hands of the doomsday clock will roll on, regardless of Zero.

Sahelanthropus will take the first giant step into a brave new world. It is the bell with which a world - trodden upon by words - declares its independence.
