Story Mode allows players to defeat encounters with little difficulty - some fights do still pose something of a challenge, but standard encounters progressed fairly smoothly in comparison to Classic Mode.
While I found Classic Mode's level of challenge to still be fairly enjoyable, it was minor frustrations like these that pushed me to give the Story Mode a fair shake. I sometimes found myself just living with the consequences of a fight gone horribly awry because I didn’t want to sit through a loading screen for a third or fourth time. Reloading before encounters will be vital in some situations if you’re not well prepared, but this can also be mildly frustrating at times as the game's loading times aren’t exactly the fastest, at least on PlayStation 4. I’d also suggest saving at every encounter if you choose to play Classic Mode if you’re unfamiliar with Divinity or similar isometric RPGs such as the Pillars of Eternity or Baldur’s Gate franchises. This difficulty presents a hard but fair level of challenge and players will need to be resourceful to stay ahead in encounters. For this review, I played both the Story and Classic difficulties to get a feel for the key differences between the two.Ĭlassic Mode is just as its name suggests, it is the standard difficulty, and for those that have played Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, they’ll find it comparable to the standard difficulty of that game as well. Additionally, selecting Tactician Mode allows for a branching path of two additional difficulty settings as well. These difficulties include Explorer Mode, Classic Mode, Tactician Mode, and the new frustration-free Story Mode. It goes without question that Larian Studios has crafted a unique and deeply immersive experience, and it has only gotten better with this year's Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition.ĭivinity: Original Sin II has a handful of different difficulties for players to choose from in order to tailor their experience to their liking. Upon the original PC release last year, Divinity: Original Sin II was widely hailed as one of the best Western RPGs of the past decade. Since the series' reincarnation in 2014 with Divinity: Original Sin, Larian Studios has breathed new life into isometric RPGs that certainly stands out among its peers.
