Hello! Welcome back to a new regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few weeks. This time: Sin, bird-spotting and traffic jams. We are a "broad church".
I love returning to games a few years after they come out. I've bought a whole new PC in the time since Divinity: Original Sin 2 came out. And whereas Baldur's Gate 3 runs a bit funny on it, DOS2 runs gorgeously. And it is gorgeous – I wasn't expecting that. The intricate environments, the grooves in my rather charming dwarf's face. The fire. I can't stop looking at it, and it's a good thing too, given how often I see it!
But what really strikes me is the game's charisma. I expected it to feel a bit known, a bit less interesting, because it's been and gone now, a hasbeen. But it doesn't. From the off, this game is dense with detail and humour and life, and interactions I actually stick about to listen to.
