Aug 24, 2023I’m still conflicted with how I feel about Baldur’s Gate III, and I probably will be for a while. While it carries on the legacy of perhaps one of the most influential CRPGs of all time, I’m not sure if it’s better than the first two games that preceded it. It is a different story by a different team and, while it’s deeply connected to those first two games, it is a promising start to more new adventures set in a familiar world that I’ve always loved.

Aug 21, 2023Baldur's Gate 3 is awesome. A superlative RPG that allows you play like you want it (almost) without limits. It missions design, story and graphics turn it in one of the best video games ever. [Recommended]

Aug 9, 2023Baldur's Gate 3's visuals are both stylish and detailed, and come off looking great on the Steam Deck. It takes a little tweaking of the display options to get the right settings to keep the game running smoothly while still showing off all the beautiful graphics.

Aug 10, 2023Nothing can ever truly recapture the freedom that imagination brings to a tabletop game. But Baldur’s Gate 3 is proof that Larian Studios knows how to capture that spirit and develop in pursuit of that feeling.

Aug 18, 2023I look forward to playing, and replaying and replaying, Baldur’s Gate 3 for possibly years to come. It’s clearly a role-playing game classic and has already been an overwhelming success for Larian Studios. It’s just unfortunate that I end up comparing the relatively limited power of a video game to the power of my own imagination — and it also feels like a problem the game can’t solve. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece of a D&D game in every sense of the word, for good and, sometimes, for ill. [Polygon Recommends]

Aug 10, 2023It's an incredible world to get lost in, and though it may take you 100 hours, you will want to play it again and try new things. It is, in summary, the best Dungeons & Dragons game anyone has made, and probably ever will make - unless there's a sequel in another 20 years. [RPS Bestest Bests]

Aug 3, 2023It remains to be seen if the swelling story manages to stick the landing once some more secrets are unveiled, but it's so far, so great for Larian Studios and a riveting installment in the Baldur's Gate franchise. [Review in Progress]
