Reviews

"The writing of Baldur's Gate has always been one of its strongest aspects. The story remains unchanged and still holds up."
8.5/10 - Destructoid

"Hammers out a multitude of bugs found in the original release, as well as introduces brand new characters, storylines, and modes to play through.
8.5/10 - Inside Gaming Daily

"Enhanced Edition has received a number of visual upgrades including support for high resolutions that provide a far more panoramic view of the game's lovely, lush backgrounds, and a mousewheel-controlled zoom function for quickly shifting to a more down-and-dirty view of the battlefield."

Story-Rich Gaming Experience

Your journey begins as all great cRPG tales once did: quietly, within the walls of home, before fate tears everything open.

Forced from the safety of Candlekeep under mysterious circumstances, you’re thrust into a conflict that threatens to ignite the Sword Coast. Your world has always been limited to the fortress library’s ancient halls, where your foster father, Gorion, worked tirelessly to shield you from dangers you never understood.

All of that is about to change, setting you on the path that made Baldur’s Gate a legend.
