It appears that GameBanshee's earlier report of layoffs at Snowblind Studios didn't quite account for the seriousness of the situation, as the company's former animator Ben Hopper has cast a far greater shadow on the company's future.
WTMG's Aaron Price: "Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II is literally the same game, since it’s a direct port. All the best parts, and all the flaws, all are still prevalent in this release. It does feel a touch better thanks to upgraded hardware, thankfully no areas have slow down, while some sections early on in the sewers felt a bit sluggish originally. If you have good memories of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II, or maybe you missed out, now is your chance to play a version that feels spot on to the original. If you weren’t a fan originally, then this version really is not going to win anyone over."
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance II was originally released in 2004, and for those who enjoyed this ARPG or similar titles back in the PS2 era, the game will be a lovely and nostalgic journey.
My cousin and I would play this thing all night when we'd stay over each other's houses when we were young. A lot of great memories of this game.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is a remaster of 2004's PlayStation 2 hack-and-slash dungeon crawler set in the Forgotten Realms.
