Divinity: Original Sin II is by far the best multiplayer RPG I've ever played. Not top three or top two. It takes the crown for being #1 with no other contenders even coming close.

Besides running seamlessly in co-op, I'd imagine the game is equally, if not more, immersive while playing alone. Graphics are visually stunning on the 2021 iMac (4.5k retina display, M1, 16GB unified). It surprisingly runs quite well despite the intricate amounts of detail and, well, because it's on Mac.

Great concept that is executed so well it should be considered a gold standard for RPGs everywhere. Tactical gameplay is engaging and in-depth, the story is complex with compelling character development, a remarkable class system, and the player is given almost too much freedom in an extensive open world. Wonderful music. Class and character building are highly customizable. Skill points and other attributions can be modified/redistributed mid-game with the Respec Mirror mod. Also recommend the Sprint mod given that sprinting is not offered in vanilla.

The game is very long, but there's never a dull moment. It's one of those games that'll get you hooked and have you binging for dozens of hours. Exploration is largely rewarding. High level of replayability because it's impossible to experience all of the characters, their lore, classes, and abilities in one playthrough. All RPG fans MUST give this game a go.
