Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition - PlayStation 4

Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, & Siege of DragonspearI am so thrilled these games have reemerged as I played them when they first came out back in 1999 and 2000 and I still have them. I will say it’s a “memory lane” blast playing these again and my jaw hit the floor when I noticed these games were available for pre-order last week as I didn’t get the memo they were coming out, but after my “no way, this is not possible” moment, and pulling my jaw off the floor, I instantly ordered these, as well as the Icewind package and Neverwinter Nights too.I played the d&d book and dungeon games a little as a kid and have been hooked on the pc d&d games since Pool of Radiance from 1988, which I still have. Actually I guess I could be called a “collector” as I still have all of my old pc games, so buying this rerelease that transitions to the PS4 was a ”no brainer” for me. I must admit I was still a little shocked that I was holding these rereleased games in my hands when they arrived on the 15th – and luckily I only had to wait on pre-order for six days as I never knew these games were being rereleased and transitioning to the PS4.I’m a BIG memory lane person and this “blast from the past” is a HUGE hit with me, so buying these was a must have moment for me. Looks like I’m the second review of these games, where I’ll leave the same game review for both packages. Also, I agree with the first reviewer completely in the differences between these games, and I will add that I’m really looking forward to Neverwinter coming out in December. I will add that I truly hope more of the d&d pc games make their way over to the PS4 as I would love for the Dark Sun series and Icewind II, as well as others, also come to the PS4.Here’s what’s so cool about all of this. First, I find these games to be super fun and super addictive and I really enjoy playing them. Second, when these games came out back in 1999-2000 it was, if my memory is correct, a DX4-100 or a Pentium 100 pc chip if you were lucky on a 15 inch monitor; so replaying these games on a PS4 with a large 4k wide-screen tv is mind-blowing and super cool.These games were all HUGE when they first came out and are all still highly revered today, some 20 years later, which shows how GREAT they were back then. In my opinion, those of us that played these “back in the day,” purchasing these rereleases and converts to the PS4 is a “no brainer” and a “must have” and I have already purchased the pre-releases and hope many more follow as I’ll be buying those too. For the new players of these classic games, I could easily say “go for it” and buy these as they are already priced as a “Greatest Hits” and “All DLC included,” so the price is right and the games are classics and an absolute blast playing.

Game arrived early, and was loose in case( this is more than likely not sellers fault as I have purchased games from walk in stores and this has been an issue as well. ) If you are reading this then your already a fan of the old school turn based RPGs and these games are the pinnacle of the genre and have yet to be beat. Sony has done a fantastic job porting it and I have yet to run into any issues with the game. Controller instead of mouse and keyboard are a tad strange and takes a bit of getting used to. Overall pleased with game as well as seller

I had this on my computer years ago, just purchased for the PS5……love it!

Used to love this game but this is the enhanced version which is very different and not as fun it is kind of hard to play....little disappointed.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!! They managed to take a great hack and slash grain game and turn it into the stupidest game ever! In order to play you have to wait to find out what it wants then pause the game click on the person you want to use what you want them to do and then who you want them to do it to and then unpause the game and let the computer do it for you. You do nothing but watch I have already sent it back!!!

The graphics in the cut-scenes have been re-worked, but other than that, this is Baldur's Gate, pretty much exactly as I remember it, years ago. The controls are a bit of a challenge to learn on the PS4, (this game used to be a PC title) but after some time, you get used to it. Awesome game that uses Dungeons and Dragon's game mechanics!

What can be said that hasn't already been demonstrated by the effect on the industry and countless youtube video essays? These are some of the most well written, voice acted, and designed RPGs of all time.
