A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

More to Come
