Still Divinity: Original Sin II. While the first island was, by comparison, far more open, this last area of the game is falling back into a lot of the same downsides as D:OS1, where you're very pigeon-holed into what you can do next. Often times, I can only find a combat encounter that's a level or two higher than me, only to eventually stumble upon a lower level area that I couldn't find earlier when I needed it. It turns the combat into a lot of save scumming, which is unfortunate. Still a very good game, but Larian did so much better in BG3, and you can feel it.
