Divinity : Original Sin 2, developed and published by Larian Studios, is a critically acclaimed computer role-playing game (CRPG) renowned for its freedom, systemic gameplay, and player-driven storytelling. Set in the fantasy world of Rivellon, the game places players in the role of a Sourcerer—an individual capable of wielding powerful Source magic feared by the ruling Divine Order.
 

The story begins on a prison ship bound for Fort Joy, where Sourcerers are imprisoned and stripped of their powers. From this humble yet oppressive start, the narrative expands into a sweeping epic about divinity, power and free will. Players’ choices—dialogue decisions, alliances, combat approaches and moral judgments—have lasting consequences that shape the world and its ending.
 

Combat is turn-based and highly tactical, emphasizing positioning, environmental interaction and creative problem-solving. Nearly every surface can be manipulated—fire spreads, water conducts electricity, poison explodes and terrain can be frozen or cursed. This systemic design rewards experimentation and clever use of skills rather than rigid builds.
 

Character creation allows for extensive customization, or players can choose from several Origin characters, each with unique backstories, quests and personal motivations. Companions are deeply written and reactive, offering romance options and branching outcomes based on player behavior.
 

The game supports drop-in/drop-out co-op multiplayer for up to four players, allowing shared decision-making and independent actions within the same world—often leading to unexpected outcomes.
 

With its rich narrative depth, unmatched player agency, and refined mechanics, Divinity : Original Sin 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest CRPGs ever made and laid the foundation for Larian’s later success with Baldur’s Gate 3.
