Dauntless vs Divinity Original Sin
Dauntless
Dauntless is a co-op action RPG that has been hailed by many as an exclusively MMO version of Monster Hunter: World albeit with less "realistic" (subject to debate, I'm sure) graphics. In this game, you will play as a Slayer, one of the last fearless warriors who are all that stand between savage behemoths that have gorged on the powers of aether - the very power that had shattered the isles - and the surviving people of Ramsgate.In many ways, the storyline may remind you of Pacific Rim, minus all the cool tech and mechs. Instead of piloting massive machines of war, you do battle with aether-charged attacks and well-timed combos while working cooperatively with other players. There are many types of monsters for you to slay in Dauntless and different types will require different strategies. In fact, the strategy you use depends on how you build your character and what's your team composition is. This is definitely not your usual "tank and spank" boss fights.
If you love actually-challenging boss fights in MMOs and generally, cooperatively hunting down creatures of monstrous sizes, then Dauntless is definitely a game you'll want to check out.
Currently, the game is in Open Beta so you can go ahead and try the game for free, but if you love the game, be sure to purchase one of its Founder's pack and support the game's development!
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.
