Does perfection exist? Maybe not, but Baldur's Gate 2 is really close to it.
Even if some of its mechanics could feel old to younger players, its weird and horrific atmosphere and writing have not been surpassed by Baldur's Gate 3. Shadows of Amn is a dive into the more strange and alien aspects of the Forogotten Realms, and the entire Chapter 5 is a masterclass in rpg game design. Sometimes the game can feel too hard or too unapologethic, but to me this makes it even better. 10/10. Together with Ocarina of Time, Half-Life and so on, Baldur's Gate 2 stands tall into the history of videogames.
