    A solid conversion of two roleplaying classics. There are technical issues though.

    While most definitely not for everyone, players who delight in THAC0 number crunching, dungeon dwelling, retro RPGs, or any form of fantasy writing will find a lot to enjoy in these former PC-only titles.

    Very disappointed in the BG3 release for ps5. It's very underwhelming & a disappointing experience.

    I came into this really wanting to like it. (I always loved the soundtrack, and it's still great.) While many games from the 80s and 90s standI came into this really wanting to like it. (I always loved the soundtrack, and it's still great.) While many games from the 80s and 90s stand the test of time remarkably well, I just can't say that is the case with this collection. The graphics are bad, but honestly, that's not something that bothers me very much as long as I'm having fun. The main problem here is that the UI is so primitive, and that playing requires so much menu diving and constant fiddling that I can't imagine that anyone but hardcore fans of the original PC games will tolerate it. If you like spending hours going from one menu screen to another, and doing very little actual combat and looting, this might be up your alley. If you have played any semi-modern action RPG, I would stay far away. None of the quality of life features that have become so prevalent that you don't even think about them any more are present in this game, and their absence smacks you in the face when you start playing. If you like this style of game, I would recommend Divinity: OS2 instead. It's much more accessible. Full Review »

    Baldurs Gate was a story for the ages, it was perfect, so what do they do "Make Changes", add characters and tamper with Dialogue to be moreBaldurs Gate was a story for the ages, it was perfect, so what do they do "Make Changes", add characters and tamper with Dialogue to be more woke, make females less appealing to men and more appealing to lesbians. After the 6th time the NEW Gay orc had made an attempt to sodomize my character, when I was trying to work on Aaeries romance tree, I gave it in. The changes might not be hugh, but man are they in you fkn face..
    This IS not the Baldurs Gate people fell in love with, play the OG game with mods..Youll be waste hours of your life thinking your experiencing a game beloved by millions when if fact it not at all that game.
