K J Arcade 23: Divinity Original Sin – The Co-op RPG You Shouldn’t Miss



In this episode, we take a deep dive into Divinity: Original Sin (Enhanced Edition), the turn-based RPG masterpiece from Larian Studios that brought back the glory of classic isometric RPGs with modern twists. We’re talking environmental chaos, co-op drama, creative problem-solving, and some of the wildest spell combos ever seen in a game.

Whether you’ve played it, rage-quit it, or never touched it—this episode explores what makes Divinity so beloved, frustrating, and ahead of its time. Join us as we break down the story, mechanics, and the “anything goes” philosophy behind one of the best RPGs of the last decade.
