Just checked my steam wishlist today and saw that an apple symbol appeared for Divinity Original Sin 2!

It's even already on the MAS.

Uh, very nice! The first one is one of the best games I've ever played. Such a pleasent surprise!

Ya beat me to the news! Beans for you! I wish they (the beans) could pay monthly overhead…but rest well, knowing you have put a smile on the face of those whom have simply perused the title of your post!

Argh, and I just picked up Sunless Skies today too.

I still haven't played the first D:OS yet. Should I do that, or just jump in at the sequel?

You will be missing out on a freaking amazing game if you don't.

Funny, on MAS the new one is $10 cheaper than the original, which is $40 ("plus in-app purchases"?!?). Also, the enhanced edition is also there and costs the same as the regular edition. Or you can pay $30 more for the Enhanced Collectors Edition (not available on MAS though.) I'm not sure which one to never get around to playing.

The Enhancen Collectors Edition includes the two prequel games also. I quite enjoyed Divine Divinity when I played it a year ago. A rare old school RPG gem. So take this one if you like classics, and have plenty of time on your hand.

But you'll definitely want the Enhanced Edition. It has some changes compared to the original, and some balance stuff, more story, and DLC included. And split coop multiplayer, if you are into that sort of fetish.

You actually get the same in both cases: the Enhanced Edition was a free update for the regular version. It's massively confusing that both are still listed separately on the MAS. I guess they couldn't change the already existing entry?

I will play this...after PoE II DLCs, Torment, Bard’s Tale I-IV,Wasteland 3, and Divinity: OS 1.

Good problem to have...

I suspect that they're listed separately to allow people who purchased the game early on (the non "Definitive Edition") to run both side by side - as I believe the number of changes meant save files were not backwards/forwards compatible - while people purchasing the game later on can just get the DE and enjoy a single patched version. Why they didn't unlist the non-DE seems weird, though.

Anyway, onto DOS2: Great game, runs well on Mac, however I'm confused about them advertising HDR. I assume macOS can output HDR to a compatible display, but the MAS listing implies this can be done on the iMac display.
