    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 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 soI came into this really wanting to like it.

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.… Expand

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

    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 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,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 more woke, make females less appealing to men and more appealing to lesbians.

    You click an enemy for your party to attack, they attack and kill it. They immediately ignore all the enemies right next to them and run back to where they were before you told them to attack. This is an abrasive hot pile of garbage that is only recommended by a stereotypical boomer mentality; like fully recommending a car as a 10/10 car, only to find out it breaks down all the time, andYou click an enemy for your party to attack, they attack and kill it.

    Baldur's Gate is a classic and a masterpiece, and its sequel might just be better (depending on who you speak to). Brought together in a comprehensive and complete package, not only do you get hundreds of hours of some of the best RPG action ever conceived, but if you're like me and more comfortable with controllers than keyboards and mice, you're finally able to play this masterpiece in the way that you prefer. There's no other way to say this: by virtue of being two of the greatest games of all time, this combined edition pack is one of the best releases of the year.

    Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions are fantastic games that put a lot of modern equivalents to shame. The graphics are massively dated and the controls are compromised compared to the PC but the content shines through and boy is there a lot of it.

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