That’s the limitation of a touch interface, but thanks to recent iPadOS updates, you can easily link a console controller (including PS5 and Xbox Series X gamepads with iPadOS 14.5) to your iPad Pro and use that instead. It works as best it can – and truly, anything you want to do in the game, you can do with a series of touches and taps – but it takes a bit more effort to do, well, everything. The big changes are in the touch interface, which translates the expansive array of interactions in the game to different gestures and touch controls. It’s a mobile version without any story or experiential compromises, with all Grab Bag DLC included for $25 (around £18 / AU$32).
Visually, the game looks identical to the console versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2, with graphics akin to the ‘highest’ settings on PC. Thankfully, most of the game’s base functionality has been imported, including its impressive volume of voiced dialogue and narration.
