After a one-game sojourn into the world of real-time strategy, Larian Studios' long-running Divinity series returns to its RPG roots in Original Sin. The classic isometric action finds players engaging in turn-based battles against the encroaching orc army of Tanoroth. Gamers take control of two hero characters, a condemned man who was released to fight, and a mystical woman resurrected from the dead, but character-creation options mean both heroes can be altered significantly. As the story unfolds, more and more about the history of Rivellion will be revealed.

Players can acquire new skills, spells, equipment, and action points as they advance through the story, and they can hire henchmen to help round out their battle party. The world of Rivellion is dynamic, with NPCs all possessing their own motivations and desires, and there are dozens of random objects to find around the landscape, some of which can be combined to form useful items. Multiplayer fans can drop in or out of co-op action at any time, complete with branching dialogue options that let both players make their own decisions, which could ultimately lead to compatibility issues.

This Enhanced Edition offers an updated experience for Xbox One owners, with a new user-interface designed to work better with controllers, and new split-screen local multiplayer action. The dialogue has been remastered, and the storyline has been reworked to offer a variety of new quests and locations.
