Darkest Dungeon vs Divinity: Original Sin 2
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 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the best most recent classic adventure-RPGs. In this game, you can play as one of six races. In fact, you can create very odd characters, such as a flesh-eating Elf for example, and discover how the world react to you. The game also features the same exciting party-based gameplay where you can forge closer ties with your companions and work with them to use whatever advantage you get, including working the environment to your favor, during one of the game's many turn-based battles. You can play the game with up to 4 players online to enjoy a split-screen multiplayer for even more fun.Divinity: Original Sin 2 is also very encouraging of mods and the mod community in general due to the support added to the game which allows players to easily find fan-made mods that they like as well as to create mods of their own. This definitely adds at least a couple tens of hours on top of what already is a pretty lengthy game.
