Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition revitalizes a classic RPG, bringing it to modern platforms with a mix of success.

On the one hand, it preserves the core of what made the original great: a sprawling world, engaging story, memorable characters, and the deep, strategic combat of the Infinity Engine. The Enhanced Edition also smooths out some rough edges with improved UI, widescreen support, and the integration of quality-of-life features.

However, the Enhanced Edition isn't without its drawbacks. While it updates the presentation, the visuals still show their age, and some players may find the dated graphics and mechanics difficult to get into. Additionally, while the new content adds to the experience, it doesn't always integrate seamlessly with the original narrative.

Ultimately, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is a solid way for both newcomers and veterans to experience a landmark RPG. It faithfully preserves the original's strengths while making it more accessible, though its dated aspects may still be a barrier for some.
