10 Steam Machine Games That'll Make PS4 & Xbox One Owners Jealous
7. Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
The fact that all the great old-school AD&D RPGs have been getting the HD remaster treatment is a testament to their lasting popularity. In terms of storytelling and world-building, the Baldur's Gate series is right up there, crafting a medieval-fantasy world that's among the richest and most lore-filled ever created for a game. This Enhanced Edition includes both the main game - Shadows of Amn - and the Throne of Bhaal expansion. You create a character to your liking, then venture out into the world in search of quests, adventure, joining up with other characters, and exploring the gorgeous pre-rendered world. Some people may be put off at first by the start-stop AD&D combat, but getting to grips with it you'll discover that it's an extremely rewarding and rich gameplay system. The game also features full cross-platform multiplayer, so you can hook up with your PC or fellow SteamOS friends online for one of the best co-op RPG experiences around.
