The fact that you’re thrown onto Fort Joy and expected to explore, gather your wits and understand the world, doesn’t help either. We’re talking about systems like Magic/Physical Armour, how to create certain status effects, chaining together skills and bonuses and so on. Forget what the best decision is or who will be the nicest companion. Probably the biggest hindrance to anyone enjoying Divinity: Original Sin 2 is just understanding all the various systems at play.

If you quickly dropped the game last year, what’s changed that will help you get into it?

It wasn’t that fans didn’t expect the game to be great but to see it received so fantastically well among critics and even proclaimed as one of the very best games of the year was incredible. However, among the many games that made a surprising impact was Divinity: Original Sin 2. Last year was a year of classics like Nier: Automata, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Hollow Knight and so on.
