Throne of Bhaal’s introduction is hair raisingly amazing, and Icewind Dale’s ultra-grainy introduction is now smooth and gorgeous. The stylized hand-drawn introduction of Baldur’s Gate II holds up well, needing very little upgrade.
No longer does Irenicus totter out like a Weeble Wobble on ice to take on the generic armored fighter in the opening cutscene. One of the things I appreciate across all four titles is that Overhaul Games (they are the development arm of Beamdog) has taken the time to fix the objectively painful original cutscenes. Know that, unlike modern titles, very few of these lines are voiced, so be prepared for some serious reading. You’ll also find an incredibly dense storyline, but it is buried in literally 1.2 million words in the first Baldur’s Gate, 1.5 million words in the sequel, 582,000 in Icewind Dale, and 800,000 in Planescape: Torment. You’ll see the early fledgling pieces that would become the Bioware staple morality engine. While I’m not re-reviewing the games, it’s important to know going in that all four of these games come from 1998 to 2000. Welcome to the Black Pits - the expansion for Baldur’s Gate. With the bases covered fully, these four games should run like a dream, provided you have 5.6 GB of space for the Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II pack, and 4.1 GB set aside for Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale to store them. The Nintendo Switch is well suited to the task as the device sports a 1.02 GHz processor and 4GB of memory. The most aggressive requirements for these four Enhanced Edition versions requires a 1GHz CPU, with 512 MB of RAM to run. I’m not going to rehash those reviews (ok, maybe I’ll raise up the recent Planescape: Torment review I did), but instead we’ll focus on how these four look and play on the Nintendo Switch. Developer/Publisher Beamdog has taken all of these incredible properties under their wing and given them a fresh coat of glossy polish, releasing “Enhanced Editions” that contain all of the DLC for those games (they were called “Expansion Packs” back then), as well as literally thousands of improvements including new party members, locations, languages, updated graphics and resolutions, and most amazingly, cross-platform multiplayer.

If you can deal with these issues, though, and forgive the outmoded tech (which includes "improved" but-still-not-so-pretty graphics), you're in for a sprawling story full of fun random encounters and the kind of rich role-playing experience not offered by most modern games.Much and more has been said about the incredible storylines in Black Isle Studios and BioWare’s incredible slate of epic RPGs including Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale.

All this, plus slow experience gains means leveling characters is difficult and keeping them alive requires saving after every single encounter. Unfortunately, constant pausing to hunt through the complicated interface makes for a clunky, old-fashioned pace modern gamers might not enjoy. Gameplay can be paused at any time (even during combat), which gives you time to read through help files and make decisions.

It doesn't do enough to teach players about how to use their powers and gear or how to build an effective five-character party. The game's main limitation is its brief tutorial.

Despite these improvements, it retains its old-school gameplay, and that means players have to be ready to learn by trial and error, to save often, and to suffer permanent losses. It's a remake of 1998's Baldur's Gate and includes three new party members, cross-platform multiplayer, and a separate battle arena called the Black Pits. The Enhanced edition is made for the kind of player who enjoys a good challenge as well as learning and using complex rules.
