What Makes Divinity Special

While its universe is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.

The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in unexpected fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
