Is Divinity Original Sin 2 open world?

Divinity: Original Sin 2 isn't a single, seamless open world like Skyrim; instead, it features large, interconnected, act-based maps that act as "open zones," allowing massive exploration within each area, but you can't freely roam between Acts once you've progressed, creating a structured, yet expansive sandbox feel with lots of freedom. It's more like Baldur's Gate 3, with big areas to explore and secrets to find, but progression is generally linear across acts, with higher-level enemies acting as natural barriers to new zones.
