Overall, then, it seems as though Larian Studios has strengthened upon what made the original Divinity: Original Sin work, all the while tweaking moments to make it more compelling for audiences. There are still some questions to be asked, such as exactly how this newfound tone manages to bring it in line with the narrative of Divinity in general, but the developer certainly seems to be on the right track. There's still some way until the game is released at the end of the year, and so far fans of the series have reason to be exci

Indeed, the Divinity series is often known for its wacky humor and more vibrant world; the series has at times almost felt like a living, breathing reflection of the silly Dungeons & Dragons campaigns that young fans came up with in their youth. The start of this early access version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 , however, puts the player in a rather bleak position: a survivor of a shipwreck, now trapped upon a desolate island that acts as an internment camp for Source users. It's certainly a different approach to the themes of previous games, and effectively puts the player character on the other side of the fence to Divinity: Original S


Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut is the sequel to the rebooted Shadowrun. It puts players in the shoes of a Shadowrunner whose first mission with a new team goes wrong because they were set up.

Few games offer as great of a challenge and a sense of adventure as Divinity: Original Sin 2 . Anyone with a taste for great RPGs and real Dungeons & Dragons -style combat will appreciate this turn-based medieval fantasy adventure in the world of Rivellon.

2017 has been a phenomenal year for gaming–there's no doubt about that. But AAA games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn weren’t the only big hits of the year. Several indie games had great reception from critics and audiences alike, and some even won big at the Game Awards 20
