It’s hard not to start off this list with anything other than Divinity Original Sin 2. This game was developed by the same team behind Baldur’s Gate 3: Larian Studios. You can think of Divinity Original Sin 2 as a spiritual prequel to BG3, even though the games are set in completely separate universes with different lore and characters. However, you’ll immediately notice plenty of similarities between the two games after you start Original Sin 2. There’s a whole cast of characters to pick from, all with full backgrounds, skills to pick from, and unique abilities.
With your character, you can form a party with three other characters you pick up throughout your travels. Your party travels across a dangerous world where your kind, a Source user, is being hunted down and killed. Like BG3, turn-based combat is standard, so it’ll be instantly recognizable. You’ll also get to complete dozens of deep quests, explore a massive world, and make constant decisions that drastically affect your ending. Sound familiar at all?
