This game is definitely a worthy addition to the Baldur's Gate trilogy. The main focus on this is the gameplay and combat. Some of the battles are so massive that there's no way the old infinity engine could have handled it 2 decades ago when Baldur's Gate was first introduced. There are a few flaws that might be annoying at the start though, namely 1) only a very limited number of characters from BG1 can be carried over to Siege of Dragonspear, unlike in ToB where everyone could come over, 2) there's less joinable party members then other Baldur's Gate games, so it can really restrict what kind of parties you'll assemble. 3) The story isn't as good as the original BG1 and BG2, though to be fair it's hard to top the great story telling of Shadows of Amn. The game does not deserve the 2.6 overall rating it currently has. The reason it's score is that low is because a bunch of people review bombed the game upon launch for daring to have a single Transgender character, who's admission to being transgender is very easy to miss given that you have to complete a side quest to unlock the dialog where it's even mentioned.
