Whether you play as Undead, Elf, or a Lizard, your choices will have profound and often devastating consequences. Divinity gives you almost unprecedented levels of freedom to roam its lands and uncover many of its secrets. There are over 200 skills to master, which give you a ton of options for how you wish to evolve your character. The game can be played with up to 4 people, both online and in split-screen mode.

Remnant: From the Ashes
The world has descended into chaos, and it's your job to defeat the ancient evil once and for all. Save the somewhat cliche story, Remnant delivers epic and challenging boss fights and is perfect for the fans of Dark Souls. However, it is also quite different, featuring a procedurally generated world that will surprise you at every corner. Although it can be played solo, Remnant is really much more fun with a friend or two. The game gives you a ton of armor and weapons so that you can choose which way to approach the fights. Here, teamwork is everything, and death is always one wrong move away. In short, Remnant is an action-adventure RPG that is too good to miss.

Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is one of Bungie's most popular games, and that's for a reason. For the uninitiated, this is a sci-fi MMO looter shooter with a massive amount of content. You play as a Guardian, one of the last defenders of the human race against the forces of Cabal, Fallen, and Vex. It's your job to form a powerful fireteam with your friends and go on an epic journey that spans across the galaxy. Destiny 2 lets you choose between multiple classes, each with unique skills that will prove to be useful. The gameplay is a bit simple, but satisfying, especially when participating in badass boss fights. With season 14 just around the corner, this is a perfect time to jump in and experience all of its mysteries.
