Still playing: Divinity: Original Sin

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my venture into the turn-based RPG of Divinity:  Original Sin.  I'm still pushing through my first playthrough.  I hate to admit that I am getting a little bit bored with it.  I can't say I hate it or that it isn't a game I'd recommend to somebody else, I can say that it's ability to be as engaging wanes about 40-50 hours in.  I don't know that the crazy, raves reviews for it are completely warranted.  If you're rating it against other Kickstarter funded games, I'm sure it's exceptional.  If you're rating it against a non-crowdfunded game, well, I think it's like a 7-7.5/10.

The games I truly love can keep me engaged and excited throughout.  I will finish the game, but I'm just not very excited about it.  I have another turn-based game in the form of Wasteland 2 (also another Kickstarter game) on deck, but I think I might give myself a little turn-based break.  Borderlands:  The Pre-Sequel comes out next week and I feel like delving into that mire of ridiculousness.
