Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Reviews

Thus begins one of the most nuanced and best told stories DnD has to offer. One of my favorite games as a kid. Wonderful to see it updated and available again on so many devices and with the ease of steam install on modern hardware/os.

Baldur's Gate is the seminal rpg that defined a generation. There is much to love about this game if you can get past the AD&D mechanics.

A nostalgic experience that is through and through enjoyable. My dad had PC copy from the early 2000s that I grew up around. I didn't remember the story at all or gameplay, just watching him play, now me playing it has fulfilled many old memories.

I just don't know what to say, something that started with a simple curiosity about what the first Baldur's Gate was like and turned into love, besides it being my first D&D, I had no idea about anything, I didn't know how to play or how to set up my class and yet I learned the hard way (dying, dying, dying, dying). The story is fantastic, the side quests divert you from the story in a natural way that makes you immersed in the game world. The companions are incredible (Branwen is my favorite) I did it twice before this review because I felt like I had to play the game more than once to enjoy what I learned the first time. 9/10 Fantastic only Fantastic

Beat Baldur's Gate 3 and wanted more Baldur. Definitely an old game and in some aspects you have to meet it where it is at, but I'm really enjoying my time with it. Would recommend.

An absolute classic and the grandaddy of BG3. Admittedly a bit pixel-heavy for the modern age, but with a map completely packed with secrets and quests that add richness to the main story.

I finally beat this for the first time. Has a simple story with complex gameplay and rules. Persistence was key for me, but the journey was worth it. I already transferred my character to BG2 and am looking forward to beating that game for the first time, as well.

It's a good game, but I've heard the sequel is better. I personally was not that invested in the plot, but the writing was enjoyable enough for me to finish it. 7/10

This game is a classic. The isometric 90s gameplay based on AD&D 2e can take a bit to get used to, but it's worth it.

Absolute classic game. One of the best CRPGs ever. Starts off nice and lowkey rather than being the typical overblown epic 'you are the chosen one' campaign.
