A really, really wild ride.

Classes are vast and highly customizable, quests can be completed in a variety of ways and the main cast of characters each interact with the world in such a unique way that it feels really fulfilling to replay it. Experience is limited (once you kill an enemy, it's gone for good), so the game encourages you to really go out of your way to explore and find every sidequest that you can get and trust me, you will need every single XP point you can put your hands on.

DII can be punishing and straight up unfair at times, those specific story points are something that once you have the knowledge of you can prepare accordingly, but when you're experiencing it firsthand it can get frustrating really fast. Keeping multiple saves indeed help if you find yourself in a point of no return, there's also a mirror on your main travel vessel that you can use to respec your characters at any moment. It really helps you to rebalance your party if you're having difficulties with any encounter.

Overall a great experience and a must-play for all the Tabletop and Tactical RPG fans.

OBS: The PS4 version of the game has a decent amount of bugs (two reported quests that can become broken and a flickering shadow issue that can drive you insane at times). If you can, I'd reccommend opting for a PC version, it's also waaay easier to interact with the game using a mouse and keyboard.
