7 RPGs That Will Make You Forget about Real Life

Baldur’s Gate II

Thanks to the recent enhanced edition, more gamers remember this gem. Even at the time of its release, however, critics and gamers alike praised its depth, storytelling, characters, and incredible length. With an incredible amount of content, much of it specially tailored to the game’s many possible classes, it remains one of the greatest examples of BioWare RPGs to date. Heck, even Mass Effect references it repeatedly.

Continuing the story of Baldur’s Gate, the sequel easily stands on its own as a fantastic game. Flush with an incredible mod support base that would make Skyrim blush, Baldur’s Gate II is a game you can start up and, while playing, forget to eat.
