Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

We all know that this game is a classic. Honestly, I'll come back to it every 4 years or so just to feel like I'm home. If you've never experienced the magic of Faerun or Baldur's Gate then please, accept my heartfelt invitation. Turn the lights low. Shut off that stream on the 2nd monitor, and get lost and amazed by one of the greatest games of all time. I'm sure I'll see you again in 3-4 years.

For a game that is over 25 years old to have a loyal and wide following whilst still picking up new players is testament to its strengths. It also makes clear that graphical performance is secondary to balanced gameplay and good design. Yes, it throws up huge challenges quite quickly but, at the same time, it is all doable. Reload? Yes, if it was a cakewalk it would likely have been forgotten about for being insubstantial. The Enhanced Edition irons out a lot of the wrinkles and is very playable today. Like RPGs and haven't played this? Then do it - you may be in the minority who don't like it but you probably won't be.

You can set this game to story and have no challenge, or you can set it to hair pulling, keyboard slam a puppy hard. Great game however you do it. It is a very old version of D&D though, so if you are coming from that, it might be a bit of a shock. Also, if you don't have Minsk in the party, you are doing it wrong. Right Boo?

Once you get used to the old school CRPG systems, you experience a cool adventure with a lot of party build options, decent combat, interesting world and charming dialogue

The game seems like your standard early rpg, but starting it is almost impossible. Instead of having it default to be full screen it is default to be its original pixels on your big modern screen and you have to navegate the itty bitty screen to find the button to make it big enough to see. That's a ridiculous design choice and someone should fix it.
