24 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoyed the combat in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, and wanted to experiment with very different party builds with plot largely out the way, you'll probably have a great time with Icewind Dale.
Gameplay

Look at the precision of mechanics, gameplay agency, and extremely wonderful storytelling.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is still excellent and fits the game's atmosphere well, but I found it less memorable than Baldur's Gate's music, particularly its iconic exploration and environmental themes.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty can be hard, but there are a lot of options to allow a player to simply play through on the story.
