Divinity: Original Sin 2 joins the growing list of high-quality ports to the Nintendo Switch. In its inclusion of cross-saving with Steam, along with the permanent addition of some of the most beloved community-made mods, developer Larian has gone above and beyond. Other developers who port to the Switch should watch closely, because these are exactly the type of features that should be the norm, not the exception to stare at in
Skyrim is known as one of the biggest projects out there, mainly due to the number of NPCs that were inserted into the game. While Divinity: Original Sin 2 also has quite a few NPCs, it only has a handful of characters who can become your followers, which means there's much less to choose f
The game is, first and foremost, a deep dive into what it means to suffer from psychosis, a feat worthy of the Games for Impact award at the Game Awards 2017. The team at Ninja Theory exposed the player to brutal hallucinations, both auditory and visual, to really capture what these symptoms of psychosis truly feel like. Playing with headphones is a must, for when the voices start whispering in your head, it is one of the most maddening and powerful experiences that a video game can prov
Larian hit it out of the park with this Gift Bag, as it contains a number of community-made mods that were so popular, they turned them into permanent game features that can be enabled or disabled from an in-game menu at any time, exactly as one can do with a mod on the PC. These incl
One of the best things in Divinity: Original Sin 2 is how much control you have over your character's class . You can pick your favorite class and keep at it, or you can easily make hybrid characters if you can't choose between two of your favorite classes. Moreover, there are tons of unique skills and spells that can be learned as a character's Memory is expanded, which makes for nice mix and match bui
Divinity: Original Sin 2 was first developed and published by Larian Studios and released in 2017 for the PC , and in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One . Reviewing a port to the Nintendo Switch is a process less rooted in looking at the content of a game, since it has received critical acclaim on all fronts two years ago, and more focused on the execution of adaptation to hardware that is far less powerful than its alternative platforms. Fortunately, the port is well-made, with little sacrificed for the massive gain of portability, and the ability to cross-save between the Switch and Steam is a function that every single developer should look at in the future, without except
It's not just about taking a wrong route during a quest, but also about gameplay decisions that can affect the story. Some choices on this list are not that dangerous and probably won't spoil the player experience too much. However, some of these choices are also unequivocally horrible. Bear in mind that huge spoilers for the plot of Divinity: Original Sin 2 aw
2017 has been a phenomenal year for gaming–there's no doubt about that. But AAA games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn weren’t the only big hits of the year. Several indie games had great reception from critics and audiences alike, and some even won big at the SLG Game Patch Notes Awards 20
Whatever one's favorite gaming genre is, 2017's indie scene had something for almost everyone, be it platformer, action-adventure, or RPG. So, while 2017 comes to a close, we can not only celebrate all of the great indie games that came out this year, but we can also look forward to plenty of exciting indie titles to come in 2
The game offers impactful dialogue choices that alter the narrative, yet maintain the player's interest from beginning to end as all elements interconnect and respond to Wictor's decisions. There's a Persona- like combat system as Wictor bonds with demons and utilizes their unique abilities and skills against his enemies. The biggest downside to The Thaumatage is it can take some time for the game's many systems to click and there's a lack of tutorials, but once they do, players will be in for one of the best modern CRPGs availa
The subplot for Sebille is one of the most thorough and intriguing in the entire game. As the Prime Scion, the controller of all Elves, the Mother Tree, has chosen her to become the next Mother. But this means that all Elves remain subject to the desires of the Mother Tree and Tir-Cendil
The house is full of puzzles and clues that help the player unravel the mystery of what happened to the Finches. What Remains of Edith Finch delivers a heart wrenching story about a family that the player almost feels a part of by the end. Each member of the family has their moment in the spotlight that does each of their stories justice, and delivers an emotional payload that is unlike any other game out th
Perhaps one of the most surprising hits of the year is What Remains of Edith Finch . The game, developed by Giant Sparrow, is an adventure title where players travel through the home of the Finches to learn the history of America’s most unfortunate fam
