Divinity excels the best in its combat system, which creates engaging tactical battles that require skillful use of positioning and terrain to succeed. Divinity received excellent reviews from both the official gaming press and user-submitted opinions, and my writeup here generally reflects that same point of view. The game is a deliberate throwback to earlier classic RPGs like Ultima and Baldur's Gate, using both a top-down third person perspective and a turn-based combat system. Divinity: Original Sin is a role-playing game released by developer Larian Studios in 2014.
