Hello everyone and welcome back to another blog post. Guys, this is it, we made it! This post is our 100th blog post! I have nothing but gratitude for all the people who have supported the blog and thank you specially for my fan number 1 for always reading all of my posts: my mom, love you! Reaching this point is one of the most important for bloggers and I’m happy to reach it, despite blogs slowly dying and losing almost all my traffic due to bot attacks, I’m so happy to finally reach this milestone with you guys.
Now, what’s next for GameOn Reviews? Well, we’ll continue of course, but I will take a brake from posting. I’m going to take a break for one month or two, not so much to rest, but to optimize my blog, if you’ve noticed, for a while my blogs have been a little gray and I want to take this opportunity to fully restore my blog to its former glory and recover all my lost traffic, there will be some changes and I’ll try the new trends of SEO and I’m thinking of starting a YouTube channel to complement my blog, I’ll be working on all of these objectives to bring our platform to even more readers.
So that’s it guys, I didn’t do any editing on this long introduction because I wanted to talk directly to you and be transparent on what’s going on and what’s coming. Without any further ado, I of course will bring another game review before taking my break, so buckle up and let’s find out if Divinity: Original Sin is still worth it in 2025!
Quick Verdict, Is It Still Worth It In 2025?
The Quick Answer: Yes, Divinity: Original Sin is absolutely still worth it. It remains a benchmark for player freedom, tactical combat, and deep RPG storytelling. For fans of CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s an essential play. It’s frequently on sale and boasts a massive modding community that keeps it fresh.
In a world where every other game is either a live-service “commitment” or a microtransaction-filled “experience,” Divinity: Original Sin (2014) and its sequel (2017) are still hanging around like that one guest at a party who just won’t leave. And you know what? We’re glad they’re here.
Larian Studios’ cult-classic RPGs have somehow resisted becoming obsolete, despite the gaming industry’s best efforts to replace depth with flashy battle passes. So, why does Divinity still have a chokehold on RPG fans in 2025? Let’s dive in—before some executive decides it needs a “mobile spin-off.”
1. Unmatched Freedom (Because Who Needs Boundaries?)
Most modern RPGs hold your hand like an overbearing parent. Divinity: Original Sin, on the other hand, tosses you into the world and says, “Figure it out, loser.”
- Creative problem-solving? Sure, why not teleport that boss into lava? It’s not like the game expects you to fight fair.
- Meaningful choices? NPCs will remember if you stole their cheese (yes, really) and hold a grudge like your aunt at Thanksgiving.
- Non-linear storytelling? You can literally miss entire questlines because you didn’t talk to the right random squirrel.
In 2025, where many games treat players like they have the attention span of a goldfish, Divinity still respects your intelligence—or punishes you for lacking it.
2. Turn-Based Combat (Because Real-Time is Overrated)
While every other game in 2025 is trying to be Elden Ring with guns, Divinity sticks to turn-based combat like a stubborn grandpa refusing to upgrade from Windows XP. And guess what? It still rules.
- Elemental chaos? Set the battlefield on fire, then flood it, then electrocute everything.
- Positioning matters? Oh, you thought standing in poison was a good idea? Cute.
- Co-op synergy? Nothing says “friendship” like accidentally blowing up your teammate with a misplaced fireball.
Most games in 2025 are allergic to strategy, but Divinity remains a haven for people who actually like using their brains.
3. A World That Feels Alive (Unlike My Social Life)
Open-world games in 2025 are often vast, empty, and filled with procedurally generated “content” (read: fetch quests). Divinity, meanwhile, is handcrafted with the care of a medieval scribe who had too much coffee.
- Lore? Books you’ll actually read instead of instantly skipping.
- Secrets? Hidden stashes, cryptic puzzles, and at least one NPC who’s definitely a reference to Monty Python.
- NPCs with memories? Steal from someone, and they’ll bring it up hours later like your mom reminding you of that one embarrassing childhood moment.
Most modern RPGs wish they had this much personality.
4. Mod Support (Because the Game Wasn’t Already Huge Enough)
Some games fade into obscurity after a few years. Divinity: Original Sin? It’s still kicking thanks to modders who refuse to let it die. The Steam Workshop is packed with:
- New classes – Because who doesn’t want to play as a sentient cheese wheel?
- Quality-of-life fixes – Like making inventory management slightly less of a nightmare (bless those modders).
- Total conversions – Because apparently, some people finished the game and thought, “You know what this needs? More game.”
In 2025, Divinity’s modding scene is a beautiful middle finger to corporate greed.
5. Larian’s Legacy (AKA “We Made Baldur’s Gate 3, So Trust Us”)
After Baldur’s Gate 3 took over the world in 2023, people finally realized, “Oh, Larian knows what they’re doing.” And guess what? Divinity was basically their rough draft for greatness.
- Same deep character builds (but with more flexibility than a yoga instructor).
- Same branching narratives (but with more ways to accidentally doom an entire village).
- Same tactical combat (but with fewer mind flayers and more exploding oil barrels).
If you loved BG3 but somehow skipped Divinity, you’re basically eating dessert before the main course.
Why You Should Play (or Replay) Divinity in 2025
- It’s still better than most modern RPGs – No, really.
- Co-op is hilarious – Nothing bonds people like friendly-fire disasters.
- It goes on sale constantly – Unlike that $70 “AAA” game that’ll be abandoned in six months.
- It’s a history lesson – This is how RPGs used to be made before “engagement metrics” ruined everything.
Final Thoughts (Before Someone Remakes It With NFTs)
In a world where games are designed to be “consumed” and discarded, Divinity: Original Sin is still a masterclass in RPG design. It’s funny, deep, and doesn’t treat you like an idiot—unless you play on Tactician mode and get wrecked by frogs.
