Divinity: Original Sin 2 is set in Rivellon hundreds of years after the original game and it starts off very strong right from the tutorial. Despite the 2 in the name, you can absolutely play this before Divinity: Original Sin (which impressed me a lot when I played it before). Divinity: Original Sin 2 will change the way you feel about RPGs in general with how good it is almost across the board.

If you’ve never played or heard of Divinity: Original Sin 2, it is a turn-based RPG that pushes you into strategic decisions. Thankfully, Divinity: Original Sin 2 (brought to iPad by Elverils) on iPad not only looks and feels great, but it offers a few things the console versions don’t have while serving as the best and most convenient way to play the game on the go… assuming you have an iPad that is capable of running it. I say this because I’ve played it on every platform now and both knowing how it runs on PS4/Xbox and how it looks and feels on Nintendo Switch made me worry the iPad version might be based on the latter despite that version being great on a technical level for the hardware. That was the original WWDC reveal for Divinity: Original Sin 2 ($24.99) from Larian Studios.Īfter that announcement, a lot of people including myself were skeptical of how Divinity: Original Sin 2 would look and run on an actual iPad.

Upgrading to the iPad Pro 2020 has been great with how well almost everything I play runs on it but one specific game announcement pushed me more towards upgrading. It slowly started to become sluggish with newer games and some games I wanted to play on touch didn’t support it. While I definitely regret buying the iPad 3rd generation with how underpowered it ended up being, the iPad Air 2 was a fantastic device not just for gaming but also for work. Given how great Apple’s support for older devices is, I usually hold on to my iPhone and iPad for a few years at least before looking to upgrade as long as they work fine.

Divinity 2 bigger and better
