At less than 4 euros, you can grab an RPG crafted by the masters behind Baldur’s Gate 3. Steam has slashed the price of Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition to its lowest ever. Released in 2014, this Larian Studios classic is now available in the Winter Sale.
There’s no shortage of RPGs out there, spanning sci-fi, alternate worlds, fantasy, and even superhero themes. Among the developers mastering this genre, one name towers above the rest: Larian Studios. Riding high on the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, this Belgian team also created a spectacular fantasy RPG that first put them on the map. Now, for less than 4 euros, you can dive into Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition during Steam’s Winter Sale.
What Does the Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition Offer?
Even after its release seven years ago, Divinity: Original Sin remains a favorite among Western RPG enthusiasts. Now is the perfect time to pick it up, as the game is currently discounted by 90% on Steam. This brings the Enhanced Edition down to just 3.99 euros, while the Collector’s Edition is available for 12.99 euros, both discounted until January 2.
The Enhanced Edition includes the base game plus all updates released since 2014. These enhancements range from complete gameplay overhauls, new modes, controller support, split-screen co-op, and voice-acted dialogues to a new ending, puzzles, and skills. The Collector’s Edition goes a step further by adding a second game key to share with a friend and includes the classic RPGs Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity.
Is Divinity: Original Sin Still Worth Playing in 2024?
While Larian Studios didn’t rest on their laurels after the release of Divinity: Original Sin, following it up with the outstanding Divinity: Original Sin 2, the first game remains timeless. Despite the sequel’s enduring popularity, the original continues to be praised for its captivating story, memorable characters, and rich fantasy setting.
One of the standout features is its combat system, blending turn-based strategy with environmental interaction to create endless tactical possibilities. Mechanics like using water to channel electricity or igniting gas clouds reward creative thinking—a hallmark that carried over to Baldur’s Gate 3. Even a decade later, these mechanics remain engaging.
Though Original Sin 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 have raised the bar for storytelling, the original Divinity: Original Sin still delivers a solid and compelling narrative, enhanced further by the updates in the Enhanced Edition. While its universe is distinct from Baldur’s Gate 3, its fantasy mythology is rooted in the Divine Divinity series and offers a captivating experience for fans of the genre. If you enjoyed Larian’s latest RPG, you’re sure to love this classic.
So, is it worth it? Absolutely. Divinity: Original Sin remains a landmark RPG, combining smart design, tactical turn-based combat, and player-driven freedom. Whether you’re a fan of strategic gameplay or co-op adventures, this game is still an excellent pick in 2024.
