Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I cannot express the amount of joy this game has brought to me in my early teen years when it came out. Now this new version is even more enjoyable. Treat yourself with this masterpiece - but stay a mile away from siege!

Loved the BG series on my old 200Mgz P1, and BGEE has brought back an old friend with improvements to boot. A must buy for those who love RPGs

I played the original Baldur's Gate many years ago, back when it first came out, on my dad's PC at the time. I was fairly young, 10 or 11, and inexperienced with PC gaming. But the game was a real treat. Recently, nostalgia crept in, and I ended up getting the enhanced editions to play through the series once more. So, having done so, twice now, I never had any technical issues, the games ran beautifully. Graphics are fine, gameplay works, and the story still sucked me in, even though I remembered most of it from the original game. It works. It's a great game. Not much else to say. If you are on the fence, never played it, and want to experience a great, timeless RPG, then jump in. If you wonder if it will satisfy your nostalgia, it will do that too.

...except if you haven't played it yet there is something wrong with your life. The second instalment only gets better, right time to play this since BG3 is looming on the horizon.

I loved Kotor 1-2, Shadowrun, and Divintiy: Original Sin 2 these were the only turn based RPGs I actually beat in full, so playing a Dungeons and Dragons RPG from the late 90's seemed like it would never happen. Not until I saw the trailer for Baldur's Gate III; I knew I had to see what all the fuss was about. My first experience with Baldur's Gate was actually many years prior as a wee lad my dad downloaded Baldur's Gate II and I played maybe 15 minutes of it and realized it was trash and never played it again. I played this game blindly and god damn I didn't put it down for 3 weeks and I beat it. The game is difficult for a new comer atleast and it had excellent writing for the most part. The only gripes I had with it were that magic felt really weak due to having limited amount of spells, though that certainly changed in the Sequel which was masterfully done. This game is not overrated, it's underrated as I had a blast with no prior experience in this series.
