Following in the footsteps of its older series sibling, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is out now via Steam’s Early Access programme.
Boasting a new art style and user interface, courtesy of the “next-gen” Divinity Engine, the game in its unfinished state offers Act 1 of its campaign which promises anywhere between eight and 12 hours of play. In the guise of its four playable races—Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and Lizards—you’re free to frolic in its up-to-four-person multiplayer, and its co-operative and competitive questing, which sees you uncovering the game’s eight schools of skills and spells.
Furthermore, Divinity: Original Sin 2’s Early Access variation includes four optional Origin Stories—tales which “define your character's background and your personal quests”—and a PvP Arena mode which comes with a handful of maps.

Better still, why not check out team PC Gamer going head-to-head with Larian Studios itself at PAX East earlier this year?
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is out now on Steam Early Access priced £29.99/$44.99. It’s also “coming soon” to GOG’s Games in Development initiative.

Hexcraft: Harlequin Fair is a small, bizarre mix of Deus Ex's gameplay, Bloodlines' vibe, and Morrowind's stats, and if that doesn't make you sit bolt upright we're very different people
