No longer alone the girls must confront each other’s demons and together, find a way to overcome them.
Divinity Original Sin 2
This game isn’t as discounted as the rest, and that’s because it’s still fairly recent after launch. That hasn’t stopped me from bragging about this game every chance I get and if there’s one recommendation you take from this list, let it be Divinity Original Sin II:
The Divine is dead. The Void approaches. And the powers lying dormant within you are soon to awaken. The battle for Divinity has begun. Choose wisely and trust sparingly; darkness lurks within every heart.
- Choose your race and origin. Choose from 6 unique origin characters with their own backgrounds and quests, or create your own as a Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead. All choices have consequences.
- Unlimited freedom to explore and experiment. Go anywhere, talk to anyone, and interact with everything! Kill any NPC without sacrificing your progress, and speak to every animal. Even ghosts might be hiding a secret or two…
- The next generation of turn-based combat. Blast your opponents with elemental combinations. Use height to your advantage. Master over 200 skills in 12 skill schools. But beware – the game’s AI 2.0 is our most devious invention to date.
- Up to 4 player online and split-screen multiplayer. Play with your friends online or in local split-screen with full controller support.
- Game Master Mode: Take your adventures to the next level and craft your own stories with the Game Master Mode. Download fan-made campaigns and mods from Steam Workshop.
- 4K Support: an Ultimate 4K experience pushing RPGs into a new era!
That’s not all:
In no way is that even a portion of the awesome deals discounted right now. As mentioned earlier, there are thousands of games with an impressive price drop during the Lunar New Year sale event. There are sports titles, RPGs, sidescrollers, racing games, simulators, and more. Don’t miss out on the epic savings, and please – I’ll say it again, don’t miss out on Divinity Original Sin II. I just really, really love that game and I can’t recommend it enough!
The Lunar New Year Event is going on now exclusively on Steam from February 15th – February 19th. Happy gaming, PC gamers!
