Divinity: Original Sin II

Game cover: Divinity: Original Sin II

Description

Divinity: Original Sin II is an isometric fantasy role-playing game featuring turn-based tactical combat and deep narrative branching. Players embody a Godwoken - a Sourcerer hunted by a fanatical order - who must navigate the chaotic world of Rivellon and ascend to divinity through choice-driven consequences.

Gameplay revolves around highly interactive, turn-based combat played from an isometric perspective. Players build parties of up to four characters - either through solo play or cooperative multiplayer - choosing between richly pre-made origin characters or fully customized avatars. Combat leverages environmental effects (e.g., combining elements like fire and poison), Source-based abilities, and classic RPG mechanics like loot and progression. Outside of battle, players explore, engage in complex dialogues, and experience quests that adapt to decisions and character origins.

Distinctive features include deeply personalized origins, each with their own narrative arcs that dynamically intertwine with the main storyline. The game’s world reacts to player actions through environmental manipulation and intricate faction dynamics. Multiplayer supports split-screen and online co-op for up to four players, allowing shared control of characters and emergent narrative outcomes.

The Definitive Edition adds new difficulty options - like Story Mode and Honour Mode - and includes the Divinity Engine 2 as a modding toolset, enabling creative community experimentation and expanded replayability.
