Marzipan of CanadianGamer writes : Have you ever booted up a new game and discovered it felt like meeting an old friend for coffee? Because that’s what Divinity: Original Sins felt like to me. It felt like I was playing an RPG, but with a breath of fresh air.
My experience with RPG’s varies. As a kid the first one I ever played was Super Mario RPG and then I dove right into the Final Fantasy series. I got my hands on a copy of Baldur’s Gate eventually and fell in love with that one too. So when I started playing Divinity I discovered a sense of adventure that was old mixed with new. It was revitalizing! The boyfriend even started playing and he normally sticks to racing/fps type games so to me that speaks volumes right there.
Starting off you’re presented with the character creator. Surprise! It’s not just for one character. Divinity uses two protagonists instead of one. You work together in tandem and depending how you interact in the game you could either build a great camaraderie or grow to dislike each other quickly. The creator offers a decent enough selection of skin colors, hair styles, and classes. Your armor is preselected and I was pleased to see does NOT leave your characters half naked.

Cory at HPP writes: "Video games thrive on making the unreal displayed before our very eyes. Fantastical lands, creatures, and gadgets you could only dream of, fiction finds refuge in these digital realms. Yet, there’s a good amount of times where things that seem like another tall tale wind up actually having a grain of truth. Today, we’ll be taking a little glimpse into a little assortment of trinkets and stories from our favorite video games and finding those clever grains of truth hiding in them."
Coral Island is on track to be one of the most successful Kickstarter games of all time. It has unlocked 13/14 Stretch Goals so far, and it even looks like it will surpass successful games like Divinity: Original Sin and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
