RPG in its classic form is hardly a genre that seems designed for collaboration. Meanwhile, the first Original Sin proved that learning about plot intricacies and developing a hero with a second living person by his side can be even more interesting than solo gameplay. And Original Sin 2 took the co-op mode to the heights, quite consciously giving players the opportunity not only to help each other, but also to stab each other in the back.
Together with the other player, one can go through the standard main campaign of the game – each player as a separate hero. They can explore history together, fight battles, perform quests, and explore locations in one of the best feature productions of our time.
