Both games are currently on sale on Steam for about the same price ($59.99 CAD vs $58.49 CAD). I’ve never played either. I know they’re both supposed to be excellent games. My question is, for those who have played both, which do you prefer?

I don’t think I’ve got a ton of experience with similar games, though I don’t know for sure. I mostly play Souls games and Elder Scrolls games (Elden Ring and Skyrim are my two favourite games of all time). I don’t think there’s much carryover there but I could be wrong.

Hopefully this post could also help someone else who’s curious about the two games.

The story gets better, but it's paced really weirdly and has some major issues. There's a lot that's not explained and the characters often just don't react to what's happening. The visuals and music are GORGEOUS though.

    It just felt hard to relate to. The core premise is intriguing like I want to see where it goes, but it's not intriguing like I feel personally invested in it.

    Baldur's Gate just had this perfect buildup, where you're trying to solve a personal problem, and then it just keeps growing until you're killing gods.
