Who wants a free video game? Of course, you do, who doesn't love a good freebie? Sadly, however, not all freebies are for everyone.
We all love video games, otherwise, we wouldn't be reading this article. Yet, if there’s one thing better than video games, it’s having video games for free. The recent freebie in question is for an awarding-winning RPG to download and keep, for some at least.
So what is the video game we speak of, I hear you ask? Well, it’s none other than Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Originally developed by Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect studio, BioWare, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn was released for PC in 2000.
This action RPG was well received at launch. On Metacritic, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn scored highly with 95 from critics and 9.1 from users, cementing itself as one of the best-reviewed games from BioWare.
Then in 2013, this beloved RPG was made even better with the release of Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This enhanced version of the game came equipped with improved visuals and performance, as well as all previously released DLC, new challenges, characters, a difficulty setting, wide-screen support and much more.
