Jul 3, 2014Breath of fresh air with elements from Baldur's Gate, Ultima, Final Fantasy Tactics, Dungeons and Dragons, and Dragon Age. SCORE 95/100.
Truly challenging, deep, immersive, and entertaining. It does not hold your hand in any way and is not for casual gamers. Old school RPG fans will need a change of underwear. -

Jul 2, 2014Every person that likes RPGs and thought-provoking games in general, should say a HUGE thank you to Larian studios for setting the bar so high! Kickstarter games of the genre must now compare to this masterpiece and not be content with "good for a kickstarter game" status.

Jul 3, 2014I've waited a long time after Kickstarting this project. It has exceeded my expectations on every level and brings back so many memories of how games SHOULD be created. A perfect score from me.

Jun 30, 2014This game is more than homage to RPG's of yesteryear, it is an evolution. The amount of passion Larian has put into the game is evident in almost every element - from the gameplay and UI to the incredible soundtrack.
Playing the full release here and as a RPG fan I could not be happier. Exceeded all expectations! -

Jul 7, 2014One of the best games I've played in a while, wonderful world-building, deep turn-based combat system and the game doesn't hold your hand at all after the tutorial dungeon. Co-op is also a lot of fun, though a little bit flawed when it comes to the way dialogue is handled.

Jul 1, 2014It`s a truly great RPG and a game that will please many people. Larian wasn`t in my high-score studios list before, but this release is top-notch. I highly recommend this.

Sep 10, 2014Amazing, loved every minute of it. Great tactical combat, great story, funny. Sound is perfect, graphics are good and scale well to a 3 year old laptop with an Intel card! Took me back to when RPG's were fun again.

Jul 5, 2014This game is amazing. If you like older RPG's like Baulder's Gate, you won't want to miss this game. Even if you didn't play Baulder's Gate, you're in for a fun turn-based DnD-like game with puzzles and awesome combat.

Jul 10, 2014This Game is EPIC!
Classic Gameplay with modern Grafix and Sounds.
Great Storyline and a gorgeous Interface.
It gives you a good Oldschool feeling from the golden days of RPG's with a touch of the Future.
Thumps Up! -

Dec 31, 2014It's a conscious decision on Larian's part to resurrect tried-and-true threads that run deep into the bones of the CRPG genre. It's a culmination of those efforts and an unapologetic celebration of battle-tested concepts backed by solid co-op. Most of all, it comes together as a grand adventure that hearkens back to sleepless nights buoyed by the roll of a die and a pad of grid paper shared between fellow dungeon crawlers.

CD-ActionOct 22, 2014Relatively small Larian Studios finally managed to deliver a really significant game. Original Sin is brimming with ideas on how to bring back old school RPG vibe and make it fit modern times. [Sept 2014, p.50]

Sep 12, 2014As much as I loved the bulk of the game, by the end I was burning out, and burning out fast. Despite that, I'm glad that some studios are still willing to show an almost insane level of ambition in realizing the games they want to make without compromise, even if it does lead to a few dire moments here and there.
