Really enjoyed this game. I was pleasantly surprised by the realism and immersive action. My biggest compliment is the graphics. Holy crap are they amazing!

I recommend you buy on sale or even at full price. Well worth the money.

I've only played a short time but already feel comfortable endorsing this game.

-Beautiful visuals
-Well optimized
-Great story

Definitely worth it.

Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Frogwares' Holmes games. It is similar to Chapter One but with a few improvements. Improved deduction screen (takes some getting used to though) and no combat in this iteration. Maps/locales are more varied but there are less side quests/side stories to enjoy. The game is definitely shorter than the previous game but is not lacking in quality. Considering the challenges they faced developing it I would say they did an admirable job.

Recommend buying at full price if a big fan or on sale if not but you still enjoy detective/investigation games.

INCREDIBLE game! Highly recommend if you like the Mass Effect games and previous Bioware RPG's.

The only FC game that feels really realistic and has realistic gun play. I do not even mind that there is no customization and that the story is rough around the edges. The combat makes up for it. Highly recommend you give it a chance!

Great classic! Still... this a port so do not expect anything new. Unless you're a huge Forgotten Realms fan like myself I advise to buy it on sale. $30 is a lot for what they're offering.

Bottom line: Feels like the classic but I still recommend to buy on sale!

The first and second IWD games never got the fame and glory of BD but they really deserved it. Both great games in their own right. I never liked finding characters along the way like in BD. I really enjoy making six characters from scratch and taking my time doing it.

It's like HL1 but MUCH MUCH better.

I've played a lot of great games but this one easily makes my top 20 best games of all time. Bioshock 1 was great and Bioshock 2 was decent but this game takes things to a whole new level (literally and figuratively)...

1. Graphics are great for 2013.
2. Story is absolutely incredible (do NOT look up spoilers or you will regret it). You will be in a pure state of rapture! See what I did there?
3. Combat is similar to the other games but improved in many ways. It feels more smooth once you get used to it.
4. The skyline system is fun as ♥♥♥. You'll understand what I mean once you play...

And do yourself a favor and play the story DLC (episodes 1 and 2) that follows the events of the game.

Highly recommend for a person who is patient, enjoys a challenge, enjoys a slower story that is very complex, and one who doesn't mind a game that doesn't have a ton of action. Also, graphics are amazing and the game is well optimized (for NVIDIA at least).
