Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions
Two classic isometric CRPGs bundled on Xbox, lovingly remastered but frozen in 1999 design philosophies, text-heavy, turn-based, and uncompromising.
GamerScout Verdict
Essential for old-school CRPG fans willing to move slowly; rough entry point for modern RPG players expecting faster pacing.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions
I approached these Enhanced Editions cautiously. Planescape: Torment is a story-first RPG where you play as an immortal amnesiac solving a murder mystery across a gothic fantasy city. Icewind Dale strips narrative down to dungeon crawling and combat. Both use the Infinity Engine, the same tech that powered Baldur's Gate, and both lean hard on AD&D rulesets that reward reading tooltips and planning ahead. If you want dialogue trees that actually branch, memorable writing, and tactical turn-based combat, Torment delivers. Icewind Dale is faster-paced and more straightforward, pick a party, kill monsters, grab loot. Neither game holds your hand. Both assume you'll live with a wiki open or spend hours experimenting. The Enhanced Editions clean up the interfaces and add new content, but the core games haven't fundamentally changed since their original '99 release. That's either a feature or a dealbreaker depending on how much patience you have for old-school pacing. These aren't for everyone, but they're essential for CRPG enthusiasts who can tolerate slow starts and dense mechanics. Torment in particular rewards deep engagement with its world. On Xbox, the controller interface works fine once you adjust to it, though these games were designed for mouse and keyboard. If you're coming from modern Baldur's Gate 3 or Dragon Age expecting instant gratification, you'll bounce off hard.
