If you're looking for something to do this weekend on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, then you might want to check Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition, which just arrived today. This updated version of the 2017 game includes too many tweaks, balances, and fixes to list (seriously, there's a 50 page document about what they did), but the bottom line is this: it's the same great game made even better.
Can you believe it's been nearly a year since Divinity: Original Sin 2 first graced us with its presence on PC? I certainly can't, but then again, I've had trouble keeping track of time ever since the "original" Original Sin came out back in 2014. Fortunately, I've found a nice chronological anchor to moor myself to, as Divinity: Original 2 Definitive Edition comes out on August 31st.
If you've wrapped up the spring hits and wondering what you'll do in the next couple months before the next Madden title sounds the horn of Fall releases, then the folks over at GOG.com would like to entice you with a big Summer Sale. I mean, big. 1300 titles big. And hey, we've even gone through and put together a little co-op collection for all you co-op lovers out there.
Sequels are all the rage these days between Destiny 2 and Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin II. We checked out the former during the console and PC betas, so we thought we'd hop into something a little different this week and dove into the cRPG sequel. As you might imagine, things went horribly awry five minutes into it...
Larian Studio's Divinity: Original Sin II arrived on the PC last week, and if you've got questions about how the co-op shakes down, then we've got some knowledge! For once!
A little delayed this week on word of the new co-op releases; it's fair to blame Destiny 2 and trying to get "Raid ready." Just because I'm loot shooting, though, that doesn't mean the co-op releases stop! This week we've got Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, Divinity: Original Sin II, Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition, and more!
The most recent Kickstarter update video for Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin 2 shows off a feature that we've been anticipating: local co-op on the PC. But wait, it gets better! Combo co-op, either online or via LAN, will also be supported.
The world of Rivellon will return once more this September. After a year in Early Access, Divinity: Original Sin 2 will officially launch on September 14. Yay!
Larian Studios' development of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the sequel to their RPG hit from 2014, is continuing apace. A new update hit the Early Access version yesterday that added two new schools of magic - Polymorph and Summoning - that were part of the Kickstarter campaign stretch goals, along with two new classes that focus on these schools: the Metamorph and Conjurer.
In Divinity: Original Sin, players embarked upon a grand journey with a friend, shaping their in-game avatars’ personalities and traits through their actions and dialogue choices. Larian Studios seems to have grander ambitions with Divinity: Original Sin 2, but that ambition can be a double-edged sword as it’s currently unclear whether they’ve improved upon the original game’s formula.
Anyone creating a product for mass consumption will tell you how important it is to "test the waters" before presenting their creation to the world. Sometimes, it's showing a friend a poem before submitting it to a literature magazine. Other times, it's giving a room full of Durham residents twelve different versions of the new "Glorpberry Prime" flavor. Occasionally, it's letting thousands of CRPG fans ransack your fantasy playground, as is the case for Divinity: Original Sin 2.
Larian Studios’ Divinity: Original Sin stands out as one of the best RPGs I’ve played over the past few years. When I heard they were going to be at PAX East 2016 showing off Divinity: Original Sin 2, I knew I had to get my hands on it. These are my hands-on impressions.
