This game is definitely not for the M1 chip. It is horrible. The screen is weird The texture looks awful The resolution does not help at all Crashing issues Apple, please place a warning or remove from M1 compatible software
Bad choice
I just bought this game for my MacBook Air M1 running macOS Big Sur. Lots of problems from the beginning. I couldn't access the game menus or they would not open on the screen, but the killer problem was that after 10 minutes of trying non-working menus, I had to force a quit using option command esc. This game is not worth the money if the game cannot even run on the machine. It is not even worth downloading if the game was to be offered for free.
terriable
deleted this game after purching it.. it would be a cool a game .....if i was 8 years old .. graffics are not thtat great and game play is so boaring.. if you like boaring games then this is the game for you! what a waste of money
Cannot even get character generationt to work
100% worthless, and poorly designed. Not intuitive at all, and I am an experienced gamer. When generating a character to begin the game, options are not to save, but to just go back or import from previous game (which does not exist if you are new to the game). Ludicrous.
Now worthy of 5 stars
My originaly review from 2017 gave this this game only 2 stars because the developer was unable to provide the latest version of the game on the Mac App Store for years while updated versions of the game were available on other platforms (the MAS version was stuck on version 1.3 for 3 years while the rest of the world was enjoying version 2.5). Lo and behold, it now appears the developer finally updated the MAS version. As a result, I can now heartily recommend Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition. This is a classic RPG that has been given new life. Fantastic, mythic storylines filled with drama, romance, humor, and wit, Badlur's Gate EE has nearly endless replay value. Well worth the money if you love a good story and enjoy solid imaginative D&D gameplay. Buy it! (Original 2-star review included below for reference) ------------- It’s been 2 years since version 1.3 came out, and version for other systems and platforms have moved on past version 2.0 and then some. The developer has given nothing but non-believable excuses for why they can’t update the Mac App Store version of this game. I would have given this game 5 stars except for the fact that the Mac App Store version is seriously outdated, with hundreds more bugs than the current version available on Steam. There is no excuse for a failure to update of this magnitude. Do not buy.
No hope for updates?
I’m adding my voice to the complaints about a complete lack of updates since 1.3. It’s as if Beamdog has abandoned the Mac App Store version of this game and that is severely disappointing. I’d say, “Lesson learned. I’ll just buy games on another platform from now on,” but how is that an acceptable outcome? Such a shame, because while a number of aspects of the game are dated, it’s still a great deal of fun to get that D&D fix. (Especially when it’s hard to get a group of friends together for the actual tabletop game!)
Buy elsewhere
