Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

I had bought this on GOG a couple years ago and had intended on getting back to it, it has taken me a few hours to wrap my head around what this game actually is as I was trying to complete all the quest for the first main area Fort Joy, but after watching Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an RPG Lover’s Dream by Ghostcharm it’s clicked and I am trying to be more open to not winning every situation as if it was a more genuine adventure.

With a 93/100 on OpenCritic for the original release, PCGamer had this to say;

Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 is uncannily like playing a tabletop RPG. The way that Larian’s sequel embraces player creativity immediately conjures up memories of days spent sitting around a table, asking the Dungeon Master if I can attempt the last stupid idea that floated into my head. And like a good DM, Original Sin 2 usually answers that question with “Yes, you can attempt it.”

My only regret is that I got it on GOG as it was cheaper, which has made mods less friendly without the Steam Workshop, but it was a lot cheaper at the time and hasn’t gone below $15.74 on Steam since.

    I think that it is the best of the turn-based strategy genre. My wife had a hard time playing this one with me, though, because I would take a long time (too long in her opinion) budgeting my points to get the most out of a turn.

      But that’s like, 50% of the fun of the game!
