Winner: Divinity: Original Sin
Writeup by Stephen Meyerink:
"Kickstarter success stories are always a pleasure to hear about, especially when they end up producing games as outstanding as Divinity: Original Sin.
Even though it bears the trappings of a classic computer RPG, Divinity goes so far beyond that in its execution. A robust cooperative experience, deep tactical combat system, and some truly hilarious dialogue make this one for the GOTY books. Oh — and it sure isn't hard on the eyes and ears, either."
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios discusses the process of making Divinity: Original Sin - The Board Game.
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.
