I find Switch games hold its value, at most if I decide to sell the game, I would end up only paying $20 for the game..
PC, worth every cent if you have sense.
This.
Planescape is in my top 5 games ever, but NO WAY am I paying more than $20 for it. IwD = worth $5. Together worth $25 tops.
How can this these games be played without a mouse and keyboard? Just curious, like great games and all, but think I'll leave this one for the PC..
exactly what I was thinkinh
some games are only meant to be played on PC
Not this one apparently.

"Baldur’s Gate on Nintendo Switch may be the best way to play the series"

"But the second control scheme maps movement directly to the left thumbstick. Now you can walk a single character around — or the entire party, in formation — like you’re playing a modern third-person RPG."
"However, you lose the ability to point and click at objects on the map once you lock the control stick to movement. . So Beamdog has turned each point of interaction into a hotspot that automatically shows you a contextual icon. Move the party close to a locked chest, and you’ll get the icon for lock picking. Move to a stairwell, and you’ll have the option to move on to the next floor of the dungeon without the repetitive, annoying reminder to “gather your party.” It’s a much more elegant way to play the game, rivaling, and in some ways exceeding, the original experience on PCs."
The interface has been redesigned for console. I played both games recently on PS4 and they control relatively well. The most annoying thing to be honest was having to manually go from left to right of your shortcut bar at the bottom but even then, that wasn't the end of the world.
That’s expensive lol
I loved these games when they came out, I'd probably love playing them again on a handheld when travelling, but there is no way in hell I'm paying that much to do so, enhanced or not.
I love my Switch, but for reals, $59 for a 22 year old game that was "enhanced" 8 years ago is having a laugh.
EDIT: It costs ~$60 for both on Steam at regular prices too :-O
