I loved Divinity: Original Sin 2 when it was first released A year ago. I was so excited about it. I boot camped my MacOS computer to run it. I would stop working, close out apps, reboot my machine to get my fix. However, laziness eventually took its toll, and I stopped playing.

Fast forward a year to The Who would think have thought that Apple Metal Engineering team would publicly be working with a developer like Elveris to bring a game to the MacOS ecosystem with all the features that make it great. Everyone always talks about, but until now games on MacOS have fallen short and were out in the cold. Hopefully, this is a new era where gamers will feel the warmth and at home in the ecosystem.
