Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

They do, unfortunately, end up being interesting takes on character classes, and not necessarily interesting characters in and of themselves. Controlling a party of characters - each with specific abilities, actions and inventories - cycling through multiple menus and pop-ups across the screen, and navigating dense dialogue trees all lend themselves to a mouse setup. While Divinity: Original Sin II is an excellent game on its own, it feels like Larian’s proof of concept for Baldur’s Gate 3 in a lot of ways as well. There were only a handful of Quick Action icons, and you would quickly get more things then you could fit.

Creating your player character and taking them from the initial safety of your home in Candlekeep, through the Iron Mines of Nashkel and onwards into the bridging events of Dragonspear and the epic battles and face-offs of Baldur's Gate 2 really is still one of the great RPG experiences.It is entirely possible to mix and match companions across the spectrum providing you maintain a degree of neutrality in your dealings. Bearing in mind this will only be a useful feature come September 6 when the PlayStation 5 version launches (and beyond), we’ve decided to disable it for now to allow us to solve the issue in the interim.

Anytime I see "ZL" I'm like "oh, they mean L2" and then promptly forget that ZL exists until the next time I start a new game. The maps in Baldur’s Gate are massive, which makes for quite the sprawling adventure, but also the slog when you want to backtrack.

Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 has wowed players with its vast world set within the Dungeons and Dragons universe. Odd lighting effects constantly distract from gameplay and just trying to get around the map becomes a chore. After just a few hours I’m sailing along on my adventure, much further along than I’ve been in past iterations of the game without putting in more hours. It’s a highly customizable RPG experience with multiplayer that does a fantastic job at adapting that classic feeling one gets while playing a tabletop game with friends into a video game experience. Nintendo’s portable platform certainly feels like a perfect home for these epic adventures, with players able to dip in and out of huge quests whenever they feel like it in handheld mode – and now it’s the turn of the inspiration behind Pillars and Divinity to take centre stage as the Baldur’s Gate saga arrives in its enhanced edition form, all tarted up and ready to take players on one hell of a ride.So, while you can’t play Baldur’s Gate 3 on your Switch, there are plenty of platforms available to enjoy the game on.
