It is a canonical work of rarely seen proportions. Baldur’s Gate is the role-playing game that set the standard for fantasy RPGs for decades, and if one were to compare its status and importance to works within cinema, it could fairly be called the Citizen Kane of role-playing games. That is how significant and influential BioWare ’s 1998 classic truly is. From a gameplay perspective, it feels close to perfection, even if younger players may initially find parts of it dated. However, if they give the game a genuine chance, I am convinced they will discover its greatness — especially thanks to the excellent “Enhanced Edition” releases by Overhaul Games . The controls remain intuitive, and with the enormous flexibility surrounding difficulty options, the game is perfectly suited for both hardcore veterans and complete newcomers. The game’s mise-en-scène is genuinely genre-defining, filled with varied and memorable environments. Personal highlights include the forests surrounding the Wood of Sharp Teeth. The colours of the trees still strike me during every playthrough as absolutely stunning. The world feels cohesive and alive, and the way characters react to your actions creates an impressive sense of immersion — especially for those who experienced the game in the late 1990s. The dialogue is also of the highest quality, with a sense of humour that was never fully recaptured in Siege of Dragonspear , even if I still appreciate that expansion greatly, and perhaps above all for its ambition. The tone balances the deep darkness at the heart of the narrative with the adventurous spirit that defines most of the player’s journey. The pacing suits me perfectly as well, with a mystery that slowly grows larger and more ominous the longer you play, before culminating in a grand finale. I have completed this game at least fifty times, and I will continue returning to this legendary adventure — especially in its refined Enhanced Edition form. In truth, I can barely mention a single negative aspect, simply because I am far too much of a fan, even if I fully understand why certain elements may frustrate some players. I loved the game when it released shortly before the turn of the millennium, and somehow, I love it even more today. If you have the time, and are willing to invest yourself in a truly extraordinary role-playing game, then this is the ultimate place to begin.

ok so, ill get right to the point on this one: if you are coming here looking for a nostalgic old dungeons and dragons game with an engaging story and fun characters, you have come to the right place! HOWEVER, if you are coming here just after playing baldurs gate 3 then chances are that i would NOT recommend this game. this game is to old and clunky by today's standards and doesn't even make sense sometimes (ie: saving throws). considering all this i guess its a little bit silly that i played and 100% this game because i actually DON'T like old d&d.

After finishing Baldur's Gate 3, I moved on to the next game on my list which was an action game. I thought I was ready to move on from the CRPG style of gameplay, but it turns out I was wrong. After getting curious and looking up the original games and then seeing that they would play on my Steam Deck, I immediately took advantage of a sale to pick them up. Well, you know where this is going. Bye bye planned action game. Hello, 1998 CRPG. There was no nostalgia effect for me. This was purely an appreciation for the world of D&D combined with a great experience with the game design. Also, it's a testament to how great playing on my Steam Deck OLED is. This was a relaxing play through that I kept wanting to play well past bedtime. Are the graphics great? Nah. Was the story original? Nah. Did I just enjoy it the whole way through and am now moving on to BG2? You bet.

Weirdly, I only recommend this game if you've played it before, preferably when it was released. If I played it now, without being there at the end of the 90s, and being completely blown away by it, I'd probably play this for an hour or so before going on to do something more fun. However!!! ........ However, I was probably about 26 when I played it, so half a lifetime ago for me, and it is nice to explore the open world maps again, and enjoy what these guys built. It's a comforting, retro experience. I still love the artwork and the music. But there are plenty of frustrating aspects to this game that I wouldn't forgive if the game was new.... so (again), only recommended - by me - if you're revisiting it :)

Are you pushing 50 and feeling nostalgia for those days when you used to play D&D with all your friends? Do you like weird side quests and byzantine rules? Do you really really, really really, like killing Kobolds? Then girl, I have just the game for you!
