Welcome to our Baldur's Gate 2 Review. This time we're taking on Throne of Bhaal, the 2001 expansion pack to the original Baldur's Gate 2, Shadows of Amn. This expansion pack is part of Beamdog's Enhanced Edition of the game.And since you don't have to go out of your way, or put a penny more into getting Throne of Bhaal... the only question that's worth answering in a review is this... Is this one of those good old expansions that took things to the next level? Or is one of the bad ones, whose only aim is to milk the success of its core game?




Here are our previews reviews of the series:

Disclaimer: This is a computer RPG review, it's not meant to comment on the D&D ruleset or on how well the game implemented it in its mechanics. This review is for a non RPG specialized gamer who's maybe hyped about Baldur's Gate III because of the trailers and footage of BG3 he or she has seen and who has maybe played Larian Studio's Divinity Original Sin II.





There are many games you could play in preparation for Baldur's Gate III: Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear, Baldur's Gate II Shadows of Amn, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale Heart of Winter, Icewind Dale II, Neverwinter Nights 2, NWN 2 Mask of the Betrayer, NWN Storm of Zehir. If you already decided that Baldur's Gate 2 is going to be one of them. Should you go ahead and also play through its expansion pack, Throne of Bhaal? Hopefully our review will help you decide. We still encourage to watch videos on baldur's gate 2 gameplay.


Our other reviews are based on a criteria that assigns weights to aspects of the game that are particularly important for us. It is not meant to be the ultimate truth about the game. Classic Role Playing Games is our favorite video game genre for a reason, and there are a few things I expect from them...
