Welcome to our Baldur's Gate 2 Review. Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition is the quintessential medieval fantasy game and this why...


As part of our Road to Baldur's Gate 3 series, I took on the challenge to play and review this Dungeons & Dragons classic RPGs.


Here are our previews reviews of the series:

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 Dare II, Neverwinter Nights 2, NWN 2 Mask of the Betrayer, NWN Storm of Zehir. If you only have time for one or two of these... should Baldur's Gate 2 be one of them?



Hopefully our review will help you decide. We still encourage to watch videos on baldur's gate 2 gameplay.


This review is based on a criteria that assigns weights to aspects of the game that are particularly important for me. It is not meant to be the ultimate truth about the game. Classic Role Playing Games are my favorite video game genre for a reason and there are a few things I expect from them... You can check our system of categories in one of our early videos.
