Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I've played almost all the Infinity Engine RPG classics in the late 90's and early 00's and wanting to replay them on a modern new PC (or Steam Deck in my case) was always a burden. Installing mods, patches and other add-ons just to get them running is always a hassle when you just want to play. I'm not sure if the bad reviews are for older buggier version of this Remaster, but I had no issues whatsoever. It runs out-of-the-box and looks awesome on 32" 4K Monitor and as well as on a Steam Deck. Actually, I might argue that these Enhanced Editions are almost as made for Portable gaming. The new enhancements are awesome as well. I like the improved interface, additional options in the settings (like max HP on level-up, or similar), zoom function, quick-loot. All of these are small enhancements but make the whole experience smoother and better without removing huge chinks of the 'retro-feeling'. I've now started BG 2: EE, and IWD:EE and PT:EE are soon to follow. Huge recommendation!

Fr I have 130 hours in this game and gotten like 5 different characters to the city then quit. But now that I've beaten BG3, this next run I swear will be the one!

I've enjoyed bg1 and bg2 as well as other forgotten realms top down isometric rpg's for a very long time.

Honestly, it feels its age in some ways, but the Enhanced Edition does so much to help grease the wheels a bit and honestly it's still a pretty fantastic experience regardless.

a classic cant be replaced, just play it
