Attack on Titan 2 - A.O.T.2

Abandon all fear. Attack on Titan 2 is the gripping sequel to the action game based on the worldwide hit anime series "Attack on Titan."

A.O.T. 2 is 'Playable' through translation layers like CrossOver, though it requires D3DMetal to avoid frequent crashes and graphical artifacts related to Titan textures.

What the world thinks

Parallels Desktop: Generally NOT recommended for this title. The virtualization overhead combined with the game's heavy CPU demand for physics results in significant stuttering and sound crackling, even on M2/M3 Max chips.
