Divinity: Original Sin II 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Larian Studios' 2017 turn based tactical role playing game for Windows, later on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch, in which you lead a squad of four from an isometric view. You play a Godwoken, a persecuted user of the magic called Source, in the fight against the monstrous Voidwoken in the world of Rivellon. Its fights are built from several layers. Moving, acting and skills all spend action points, armor soaks damage and blocks matching status effects until it is gone, and water, ice, oil, fire and high ground all matter. Outside the fights, you play one of six origin characters, each with their own dialogue and side quest, or build your own, and quests can be resolved in several ways. Freedom in and out of combat, where a fight is a puzzle of armor, elements and position and a quest has more than one answer, still makes it worth playing today.
