While it definitely fits the mold of a classic cRPG, Divinity goes beyond what I expected. As a fan of classic PC RPGs like Fallout 1-2, Baldur’s Gate, and Planescape: Torment I immediately devoured it. Two of my favorites.ĭivinity’s campaign was a big success, releasing in 2014 on PC. Indie developers wanted to bring back niches genres that weren’t popular with major publishers, such as point and click adventures, and tactical computer role-playing games. The common thread through most of these campaigns was nostalgia. Divinity: Original Sin was part of the new wave of Kickstarter indie games back in 2013, riding the explosion of successful multi-million dollar campaigns like Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, and the Double Fine Adventure.
