Darkest Dungeon vs Divinity Original Sin
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon is a hardcore turn-based dungeon crawler with a rather unique gothic theme that explores the psychological stresses of adventuring as well as a beautiful, comic-like art style. Play through the more realistic (not glorified) life of an adventurer as you will not only fight challenging and devious enemies, but also face a host of problems that most adventure RPGs simply turn a blind eye to such as the stress and other mental of the day-to-day of an adventurer, famine, disease and of course, the dark feeling that arose when whatever you do doesn't really seem to matter.The game is pretty much story-driven (as you might ahve expected), but it does also feature a rather innovative turn-based combat as well as over 16 different hero classes for you to play as and recruit to your party. As mentioned, the game's a hardcore game as well - this means permadeath, procedural dungeons and practically endless replay value!
If you think you'd enjoy a more narrative-driven dungeon crawler that's very different from all the other similar games you might have played, Darkest Dungeon is definitely a game you'll want to get.
Divinity Original Sin
Divinity Original Sin is a pretty popular and highly acclaimed turn-based RPG-adventure where you get to play as a young Source Hunter whose job is to remove people who use the worst magics usually for their own personal ends. What started as a routine murder investigation quickly turned into a intriguing plot that will put the concept of time itself in peril. You can play the game cooperatively with a friend or set off alone with your party of AI companions to defeat evil magic users through the game's fun turn-based system.The best part about this game though is how it requires you to take into account the decisions of your teammates as well, rather than having you making all the decisions. The game also doesn't have a class-based character system so you literally can mold your character whichever way you like, whatever way you like!
With a compelling and unique storyline and a really interesting gameplay, it is not surprising to see how well this game has done despite its lack of a tutorial. So, if you think you'd enjoy a fun classic RPG, you might want to give Divinity Original Sin a try.
