“Irenicus is gone and the Throne of Bhaal is silent, but the victory feels more like a funeral than a triumph. My party has scattered to the winds, and now I’m just a mortal again, haunted by the echoes of Minsc’s laugh…”
“There are two types of older games out there: Classics that still hold up from a modern perspective and Games that are outdated relics of their time that aren't fun to play anymore Baldur's Gate 2 is the latter. There…”
“Stands among some of the best wRPGs ever made in my opinion. Lots of replayability due to some branching choices, great music, competent writing(for the most part), and just great gameplay overall. Some of the character…”

“Disclaimer: I remember when BG2 came out but I didn't play it at the time, so rest assured that this review is not colored by childhood nostalgia. Is this game good and worth playing in 2026? As long as you're willing…”

“Quite probably the pinnacle of second edition D&D computer (vs tabletop) gaming, this thing has eaten up months of my life, and that was BEFORE the Enhanced Edition came along years after the original release. The…”
“A follow-up to the wonderful Baldur's Gate, now filled with even more lore, characters, locations to visit, quests to find and do, a new ensemble of companions to recruit, with a few returning ones such as the lovable…”

“I seriously don't understand why people find the Baldur's Gate series so enjoyable. Nothing but save, try, attempt, save again, over and over. It is one of the most overhyped games out there. I get the nostalgia of D&D,…”
“While "good" back in the day, now is just decent, the ia of dps spells are garbage so you must micro them, healing works better and buffs kinda too. The sequel is a jump in work, but unless you come with an open mind…”
“After finally completing this game for perhaps the third time, I can say that BGII:EE is a very well made remastered version of the original game. I love the inclusion of the three characters introduced in the first…”

“Closes out the Bhaalspawn saga in a really satisfying way. Shadows of Amn is an absolute gem and still holds up really well to this day if you can get you head around the slightly archaeic rules of 2E. Throne of Bhaal…”

“Hey hey, I had a save problem with this game. Just like I had for the first game. I hear both games are great, but I won't find out for myself.”

“One of Canada's greatest contribution to culture, second only to Heated Rivalry.”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Dated but still worth every penny. Bg1, its expansion, siege of dragon spear and then bg2 with its expansion essentially play as one unbroken game/storyline. Amazing story but the gameplay/combat does have a learning curve if you're unfamiliar with dnd. Game has hours and hours…”
— a player, Steam review · 171 hrs played“I never played bg1 or bg2 before bg3, so I was spoiled by 3 in many ways, and even still this game feels amazing. If you enjoy KOTOR style combat, this is for you. High tier roleplaying options as well. If you are into CRPGs at all, this is a must-play.”
