This game is fun, feels like a true evolution of the formula I played as a kid (BGS titles). I would recommend this title to anyone who enjoys open world RPGs, the attention to detail here is just fantastic. Are the cut scenes as good as BG3, absolutely not, but they get the job done. But through interacting with the world/characters I feel like I'm making an impact on my surroundings. Unlike other stale open world titles where everything feels so watered down, this game is the opposite of that. Do NOT be intimated by the difficulty, this game is actually not that hard. It might be more involved but I think anyone who enjoys these types of RPGs will welcome the challenge. A lot of the survival elements are things I enjoy in these first person games anyway - I have mods for Cyberpunk 2077 that do the exact same thing.

Another quick point I want to make is this AAA game had an amazing release. This title is optimized well and Warhorse should be praised for raising the bar. Is there some jank? Duh it's an open world game. But what other titles that come out get you 40 frames on a GTX 1060 (I don't use this hardware but I've seen videos of other users testing this game). This game doesn't rely on upscalers at all, it runs like a dream. This is the standard all major studios should be held to.

9.2/10

Sadly you have to log in to play it.

Amazing game! I can't believe I never played this before. Like many people I'm here because of BG3 and this game hit that sweet spot for me instantly. It does start slow but once things get rolling you can't put it down.

Larian delivers consistent quality in their titles and that is no different here. The game play is less chance based, meaning most characters will hit their target, and the use of spells is way more present. This title focuses more on having fun with the abilities rather than carefully selecting what to use when. You won't find any crazy cut scenes in this game either but I don't think that hinders the experience at all, its just a different level of production.

I think my only complaint would be the lack of a jump and push action, but I'm just used to playing Baldur's Gate. Another small annoyance is the party management. So many times I wanted to split up my party and do more coordination when starting a fight which wasn't as fluid in this title. Other smaller things like the lack of a hotkey to separate and regroup the party is also not present. But would these be issues back when this title was released, of course not. I think going back and just now playing this after BG3 makes you realize how crazy Larian must have been to attempt something like that.

I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys RPGs - its a blast!

A very solid Remaster of a great video game.

If you have never played this title a great way to check it out. The Remaster isn't bind blowing but adds some quality of life features and does enhance a lot of the lighting.

The gameplay has not changed at all from the initial version of the game so I could totally understand why some would find this remaster slightly scummy.

Sadly I can't recommend this version of the game.

I purchased this version to play the DLC because you can't buy the DLC for the initial version of the game, which is questionable.

However with the hopes that maybe this version would run better it turned out to be the opposite - even with mods and ENB this version refuses to play at anything above 60 FPS. It also tears slightly and nothing I can do fixes this right now. I have games like Sins Episodes Emergence, GTA San Andreas, and Quake that can all run at 165 FPS with no mods required. Even my Normal version can run at higher frame rates with the help of mods so I really don't understand what is different here.

This is not how aging games should be taken care of and it clearly shows how BGS doesn't care about their titles once they are released.

At first I was really bad at this game, but then I just started cheesing levels and now I'm slightly ok! Very fun game!

This game was fun to play with my friends however I don't think it was as fun as House Of Ashes. I actually really ended up enjoying the characters but the ending felt cut off - as in shorter than expected. Beating the pirate captain I expected there to be another encounter where all my characters might have the chance of dying but instead, like the big action sequence in House of Ashes. Felt like this game was about half the length of what it should be in my opinion. And it was cut off before it got really good, I wanted to know more about the boxes and the ship.

Such a blast! I played the older one as a kid and holy cow what a fun remake of the game! I would wait to purchase this on a 50% sale, I believe the amount of content is around equal to what you pay for.

For Super Earth!!! Lowkey this game is a blast with your friends, it feels like a great spiritual successor to L4D. The horde based shooting makes sense, the missions while all being not crazy in depth serve their purpose. I'd even argue that the missions work perfectly for a game like this.

Servers are being pushed hard so that is why the game is mixed right now. Don't believe it, this game is NOT mixed, its a 9/10. The Devs literally had no idea this game was going to be this big.

The best Co-op Shooter I've played in years.

I was one of the people who was really hyped for the initial game and of course was not thrilled at release. For years I kept hearing about the updates, but didn't ever return. So recently I jumped back in and wow its not even the same game anymore. The progression is very deep and the core survival mechanics work well, everything feels very balanced. All of that being said I jumped into my old save, and even though I am still getting into a lot of the content I did not start over again which I remember was kinda lame. But once you getting going there is a lot of game here.
