Patient Gamers

Divinity 2 is a fantastic game and has a ton of replayability. I think I've started it 2 or 3 times now, but the game is so vast and quite long that I end up getting busy with life and then forgetting where I was in the story. Can't recommend it enough though, because it's fantastic. Hope you enjoy it!

Man, I started playing that game with a friend awhile back and we didn't manage to finish it. I should really restart it solo and complete it.

Hopefully I get enough out of in time between this and Elder Scrolls Online to play Alan Wake next month, after having bought it on Steam a decade ago.

Absolutely cannot get into either of the DOS games. They were highly recommended, my girlfriend and I love that it's co-op, the game itself is up both our alleys in theory, but with both games we get a ways in and quit. It's just not fun for us. I hate the combat, the story just does nothing for me, and I hate the combat enough to say it a second time.

It's a great game that I've started several times but I've never gotten close to finishing it. Can't seem to keep my attention span for long enough for some reason.

It's really great, my wife and I need to finish the last few acts at some point.

It did have 2 pain points for me, though. For one, there are some encounters where you can get stomped because of you initial positioning, which made us reload and basically game the system for a better start, which felt a bit weird. The other is that, mostly because of the shield system, you can't really make a hybrid character. You'll end up chipping away at 2 separate health pools when you should be focusing on one of them. I haven't played many rpg's like this, though, so maybe all this is standard and/or I'm just bad at the combat.

God Larian makes such good games. My wife and I played the first two all the way through and had such a good time.

If you ever want a table top rpg in a video game space that offers split screen local co-op, divinity series is by far the best option.

I'm stoked for their release of baldurs gate 3 later this year.

It's one of my favorite games of all time. I think I played for a good 150+ hours and restarted half a dozen times with different builds before I finally beat the game. The same studio is the one working on Balder's Gate 3, which I'm holding off on until it's finished, but I'm really looking forward to eventually getting it.

I recently bought the game for iPad. At first I wasn’t sure about it but after figuring out the combat I couldn’t put it down. I’m taking a break between act 1 and 2 currently. Works great with touch controls if anyone is curious.

It was super good. Definitely the type of game where you can’t just spam attacks, you really need to be strategic and think about it, which I appreciated. And it’s a great couch coop, like others have said.

Divinity Original Sin II is also an amazing game to play with your Significant Other as well. We sunk in well over a hundred hours into this game and it was a blast!

I’ve had this one on my Steam wishlist for years. I really ought to buy it

This is an absolute masterpiece, one of the best games I know. Can't wait till August for Baldur's Gate 3. I got the early access but it'a still a bit too sluggish on linux.

This is one of my favorite games of all time and definitely my favorite coop.

One of the best games ever made, (you won't) change my mind. Some battles are super difficult though, you really need to be strategic. I hope you have a good time!

Favourite game of all time. Just waiting for August 31st for Baldur's Gate 3. It cant come soon enough!

Fantastic game. I got 2/3s into my first campaign and then my laptop got fried, along with my save. It's such a cool game, and I love the fact that you can try the most absurd shit to complete tasks on it, and it will either succeed or fail spectacularly xD

I've heard good things about Divinity.

Is it very DnD like?

I've been looking for something like that.

Should I go back and play the first divinity: original sin? Have it on steam and didn't really play it much the first time.

I think that it is the best of the turn-based strategy genre. My wife had a hard time playing this one with me, though, because I would take a long time (too long in her opinion) budgeting my points to get the most out of a turn.

Welcome to the fold! It truly is one of my favorite games of all time.

Don’t forget you can play as any main character at all and change completely how they look. It’s pretty rad. (You probably figured that out already lol)

I’m on probably my tenth run through. Always something new.

I personally always complete every fight they have because it’s super fun and nets plenty of experience. But skipping some to get off the island it’s also fun.

Hope you have a good time!

Game is 45€ now. I'm going to pass for now. But tempting once the prices goes down again.

This game has splitscreen couch co-op that works great! My wife and I played it together using our steam link. It was a great experience. Amazing game

I loved this game, but it didn't fit well with my gaming style. When I play games (probably because I grew up playing Sierra and LucasArts adventure games), I like to explore every area and chose every dialog option. I felt like Divinity was just too huge to do that and also it didn't make sense to play that way. I think you're supposed to just pick on dialogue option and stick with it like you're role playing (it is an RPG), but that's not how I like to play!
