Baldur's Gate Ii Shadows Of Amn

Author: Bioware,
Few games have had as much of an impact on the genre as Baldur's Gate II. Its influence is seen across the market, from the smallest indie titles to development giants. Despite this, there's none of the forgiveness you often see in modern titles. This title requires thought, skill, and luck to survive. There are hundreds of ways to die, but the reward is easily worth it. Baldur's Gate II introduces a D&D inspired world that holds not just death around the corner, but a perfectly executed plot and great environments. It's a long and winding experience, featuring hundreds of quests, items, and characters. In the hands of a lesser developer that would mean repetition, but BioWare has used it to create a living world that's enjoyable to explore. Though it introduces all the classic RPG elements like stats, parties, and classes, the game has a perfect balance that's rarely achieved. There's an intelligent blend of story and combat, of depth and simplicity, and of progression and difficulty. 17 years down the line, it still stands up to the praise of its release.
