Icewind Dale is the final game created in the Infinity Engine using Dungeons & Dragons 2e rules, after
Baldur’s Gate and
Planescape: Torment. Despite being made after those games, it doesn’t stack up to any of them.
Baldur’s Gate provided a balanced experience and
Planescape: Torment focused heavily on story.
Icewind Dale, on the other hand, is a combat slog, and that descriptor should tell you what I think of it.
