Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition Reviews
Combined, these four games carry over 400 hours of some of the most well written RPG storylines I've ever played. The Enhanced Editions provide a wealth of quality of life improvements that make them bearable for new platforms. While there is bafflingly no touchscreen support for Switch, and the multiplayer is AWOL, there is simply no better way to take these wonderful RPGs on the road than the Nintendo Switch.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition Pack is a return to one of the best known and most prestigious sagas in history. This port to Nintendo Switch allows us to play, in portable mode, one of the best role titles that exists. However, despite the great content, it does not give us any motivation to play this title again for more than 20 years.

Baldur's Gate I & II Enhanced Edition is nothing more than a port of the remasters previously released on PC, clustered in one single cartridge for the Switch. The content is massive, as all the expansions are part of it, but the series deserved a little facelift.

A stunning re-release of a pair of genre titans, the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack is an eminently thoughtful and evocative reminder of just how good these RPGs were and how now, PS4 players can finally turn back the clock and see what all the fuss was about. Trust me, you won't regret it.
The Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack offers incredible value for money, with hundreds of hours of role-playing game action spread across two main games and various expansions. While players unfamiliar with the series may find the presentation or the sometimes finicky navigation unappealing, the narrative remains compelling, the characters engaging, and the combat challenging. More than that, it's the first opportunity for console gamers to play two of the greatest RPGs of all time, and it shouldn't be skipped.
Despite showing its age a bit, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is still a strong and classic RPG.
I consider myself both a CRPG fan and a retro enthusiast, but the experience of trying to play Baldur's Gate on Switch is a frustration that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm not saying you shouldn't play a Baldur's Gate title in your lifetime; I just don't recommend you get it on Switch. This is an experience that is meant for a PC and the prospect of having in it on the go is not enough to overcome the poor implementation. If you really need to play these games portably, I recommend purchasing a laptop.
Enhanced editions of the first two Baldur's Gate games have finally arrived on consoles.
If you have ever been curious about the original Baldur’s Gate games but for some reason have never experienced them, this is an excellent way for console players to jump in and give it a shot.
Balder's Gate 1 & 2 enhanced editions, despite the age, still feel like a more modern game. Aside from the massive amount of content that alone makes this purchase worth it. The unique gameplay keeps the game interesting. The story and quest are enjoyable and worth a play through.
Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions is a remaster pack of two beloved RPGs of generations past which may not conquer new audiences but which ticks the necessary boxes when it comes to bringing these two games to the 21st century. Though visually dated, hardcore fans and dedicated players will find hundreds of hours worth of content in this set.

There's no other way to say this: by virtue of being two of the greatest games of all time, this combined edition pack is one of the best releases of the year.
GREAT - If you’re up to the challenge, Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Editions are great experiences on the Switch. There is easily over 100 hours of entertainment here and although both look a bit dated, I found playing them on the handheld to be a great deal of fun.
This Switch version is hands down the best way to play these games. They hold up remarkably well in 2020 thanks to the engaging story and memorable cast of characters.
