    Great game but they could have easily added companions BG2 style. As it is, replaying the same game you played 15 years ago with silent companions and asking 15 euros for it, it's kind of a stretch. Worth it for 5 euros or if they add some DLC companions in the future.

    I played the first part after the continuation. Playability stays the same, still the second part is much improvement, including graphics (huge improvement in only 2 years), mechanics (i.e. spell managing), the thing I don't like though are locations that repeat themselves in second part even though they are better used in terms of a plot.

Icewind Dale makes the same mistake as Baldur's Gate, limited dialogs, cliche story. The expansion, Heart of Winter 7/10.… Expand

    Icewind Dale is good team-based RPG with huge focus on combat. The plot was very simple and straightforward but still engaging, combat - interesting and tactical enough on Hard difficulty, only the final fight was very disapointing.

    Beamdog has done really good job 'enhancing' this one: the game looks decent and feels comfortable to play. Except for pathfinding, it's still terrible)

    Canadians responsible for this edition restrained their own creativity almost completely, delivering a polished product true to the original game. [13/2014, p.63]

    For someone looking for a game like the Baldur’s Gate titles but with more emphasis on spending time fighting monsters and delving through dungeons, this may be just the thing.

    Icewind Dale isn’t a perfect game, but it’s one of the best RPGs of all times. Obviously, the Enhanced Edition is also among the best in the genre, but it only brings minor improvements into the mix.
