Divinity Original Sin vs Might & Magic: Heroes VII
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.
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
