I would make a review thread but it seems like reviewers just started playing, so there aren't many yet.

I think the writing is overall better than it was in Divinity Original Sin 2. The world is darker and more sinister. There is also a deeper emphasis on what your character is thinking, with a narrator describing things more regularly to you.

That being said this is unmistakably a Larian game. I’d suggest watching some gameplay online to see if it’s for you.

Seriously? I found DoS2 to be pretty grim overall.

That's great to read. I really like DOS2, but the dialogue tends to be a bit too nudge-nudge-wink-winky sometimes.

Yeah, that game was being silly at the beginning, but it got much darker very quickly. Some quibs here and there, and I got a lot of laughs, but that game wasn't all that funny overall.
