Remember me
Every time I open up Steam, I cursorily peruse the store and check out if there’s anything worth spending my hard-earned cash on, only to wind up not buying anything because prices above $10 are daunting and scary. And then I go and order a $9 pizza with a $2 delivery fee on top of the service fees they love to charge.
Instead, I could have dished out the dosh on Divinity: Original Sin 2, currently on sale for around $12, and that’s for the Definitive Edition that includes everything. Not only that, but I could have also given out a couple of extra bucks to buy the entire series, starting from Larian’s first Divinity title, which would wind up spawning a host of iconic video games, of which Original Sin 2 is certainly the best.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one of the best RPG experiences I’ve ever had. Image via Larian Studios The franchise is currently on sale on Steam, with some of the titles going for less than $1. It is a series that started Larian off as a video game development company, helping them gain the necessary experience to start reshaping the industry as a whole. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is their finest work if I do say so myself, rivaling the quality of Baldur’s Gate 3 but offering mechanics, gameplay, and depth that the DnD-based title couldn’t pull off.
That isn’t to say Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t a modern masterpiece because it is. We’re just comparing a shiny diamond to one with a teeny-tiny bit of clouding.
The sale is set to last over the upcoming weekend, ending on Feb. 9. So, you might as well skip pizza tonight and grab this while it’s still hot, because no cheese pull or sauce will give you as lasting a satisfaction as Larian Studios’ crown jewel.
Oh, and Larian’s making a new Divinity game, so now’s a good time to get started with the series.
