Although new additions by Enhanced Edition developers Overhaul Games and Beamdog go a long way towards making the first two Baldur’s Gate games tolerable for today’s players, the whole experience is very heavily tailored to a specific fanbase. Players not willing to put in dozens, if not hundreds, of hours conforming to AD&D rules, reading extensive blocks of text, and crossing their fingers during repetitive dice rolling sessions should look elsewhere. However, if the prospect of nearly unlimited player choice alongside a well-written slow-burn fantasy adventure is intriguing, then the Baldur’s Gate series is almost required playing.

Not for D&D newcomers. The game plays beautifully and has aged well, however for an old game it has been beautifully recreated for today’s consoles keeping the “Baldur’s Gate” titles alive. Although it may not wow new players compared to titles of today, if you are a D&D player, you’ll love the gaming production.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition isn’t a remake of the famed RPG classic; instead, it acknowledges the many improvements modders have created over the years while seasoning the content with some worthwhile content additions. Despite a dearth of immediately obvious changes, Baldur’s Gate has aged well, and new players will find many hours’ worth of fun if they approach it with an understanding of its increasingly antiquated framework.
