Divinity: Original Sin Review

This new game is gaining much attention from the lovers of Role-Playing Games (RPGs) perhaps because it simply makes one cherish the typical RPG moments in a more thrilling way! It is alluring the tag the game as an immediate classic, as it makes one remind of some more fond games such as Baldur’s Gate. The game is full of superb charms such as isometric camera view, magic spells, adventuring gala, and pubs to relax in a whimsical kingdom.

The Uniqueness

The specialty of this game is that it prevents slavish fidelity to old tales and narrates an original one of its own featuring conflict between those playing in stirring turn-based wars as well as a real story of loyalty wherein the player creates a bond from perseverance and patience. Unlike other modern RPGs having distinctly little real role-playing, this one stands apart from its rivals by putting more role playing at its core.

The Start

The game starts with you as a player creating yourself as well as an opposite gender model of yourself to deal powerfully with what welcomes you in Rivellon. Both roles play as source hunters in resolving the murder mystery of a high profile official. Once the way to Cyseal is known, things truly get worse than expected, with orcs, attacks, and rumors of illegal magic leading to the murder.

The Journey through Plot

As you move, two more companions give you the desired support, which makes you a team of four to solve a myriad of quests. The plot is exciting as well, even if the essence of the tale feels like neglected at times. Of all, the most user-friendly aspect of the quest is the cohesively written dialogue that laughs aloud. Further, a kind finishing that been given to the game world due to which Rivellon looks lively with several interactions worth experiencing.

The overall game is nothing but full of choices to dive into the roles of your own different characters. Throughout your journey, one is likely to pass from one scenario to another for you to respond. The challenge is how will you respond: When drunken guards consider you as orcs, will you slash their faces and then stroll on your brainy route or talk to them?

Equally Vital is how your traveling partner judge. In MPGs, the second person has a role to play in story events and is free to roam on their own; but a solo journey features two roles of your own self. It might feel somewhat bizarre, but giving life to distinct characters is an interesting experience, as has its own way to deal with situations.

There are different interesting ways to find out that each battle is a thrilling chance to discover new things. Rather than magic points, each character has some action points for taking actions or storing until next turns. There is a lot to discover but the game encourages you to do it yourself.

It is a well designed and smart system to make me participate in each battle with accurate predictions, where crafting and elemental effects make it turns alive. The emphasis is on questing, instead of on combat due to which the battles are enjoyable in small doses.
