Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

Bulletstorm failed to meet the expectations of People Can Fly / Epic Games and EA. It did not even turn a profit when it was originally released in 2011. That's maybe not the kind of a game one would expect to see a remaster of, but Gearbox -- who had apparently acquired the rights to it -- decided to publish one anyway.

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

When I was younger and read a lot more fantasy novels, I used to have a rule that if there were talking animals, the book or series wasn't for me. There's just something with animals being capable of human speech (more than parroting words) that puts me right off. It also tended to be a sign that there were other things I disliked. I guess the rule might apply to video games too.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition: Siege of Dragonspear

In hindsight, I could have skipped going through Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition and jumped right into its whole new expansion, Siege of Dragonspear. Beamdog's quality of life and content additions haven't changed the game enough to warrant a complete playthrough for someone like me who knows it inside out. Then again, thanks to that I could easily tell what hadn't been there in the original game. Beamdog's work tended to stick out.
