'Divinity: Original Sin 2' Reviews: New Role Playing Game Earns Top Marks

By Edward Leano, Christian Post Contributor Thursday, September 28, 2017

"Divinity: Original Sin 2" came out two weeks ago on Thursday, Sep.14. However, full reviews for the game are only coming out online now. It seems that the new world created by Larian Studios was so large and detailed that it took some time for critics to even begin to cover what it has to offer.

Tabletop roleplaying veterans have much to celebrate with the launch of "Divinity: Original Sin 2," as reviewed by PC Gamer who called the game "the best tabletop RPG," minus the table. Not only is the world of Rivellon vast and extremely detailed, players can also work together in co-op mode to explore the new story of the brewing war between Sourcerers, Magisters, gods and the void.

When that is done and dusted, the "Divinity" community can also look forward to a flood of user-submitted content, thanks to the powerful Game Master mode that Larian Studios have added to the game. Players can expect recreations of classic "Dungeons and Dragons" campaigns to begin popping up soon.
