    So much heart & soul present in this masterpiece. Absolutely miles ahead from current developers like ea, activision & bethesda.

    Well done Larian! Gunning for goty.

    I've never played a hundred plus hour game and then wanted to play it all over again right away. BG3 is an amazing experience and one of the best games I have ever played. GOTY for sure.

    Highly recommended. Everything I could hope for from an RPG and as someone who grew up playing the BG and BG2 this game despite being different does them justice. It the best translation of modern DnD to a game by far as far as I know. Great presentation as well, acting, visuals, music, all top tier.

    But care, once you play this game, a lot of the new games, will feel it's "missing" something, simply because, the graphic, the voice acting and music in this game, are just superb, i don't even have a game that i could compare it to, simply because none of the games can reach this games quality, sure some games can reach on game- play, but not in all the catogories, as i said, it's the Lord Of The RIngs of the games...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good and can be even better with a few patches. it is clear many reviewers did not make it until the end or they would have noticed performance problems and a lot of bugs in the last chapter. It took me around 90 hours to complete the game and I loved the voice acting, music and branching paths and stories.

    Unfortunately the last hours left a sour taste in my mouth. The run up to the boss while being bombarded by enemy artillery made me scream "Who the hell came up with this **** and a boss that has to be taken down with a timer running in the background was not fun at all. The ending cutscene took around 5 minutes leaving many questions unanswered. In Larian tradition this will be patched and an enhanced edition released. This is not okay though, if we invest almost a hundred hours into a game we deserve closure.

    I still had a good time with it but am tired of buying products that will get patched throughout the year to deliver a finished game. It is what it is though and I suggest opening the upper city for exploration and splitting the third act into two. The last act was too cramped and the city should be bigger. It is clear the upper city was cut out of the game but planned initially.    … Expand

    A game that stands out in every way. The story is engaging, with multiple choices that are really meaningful, the NPCs are charismatic, you care about them and you are even capable of falling in love. The mechanics brilliantly translate the rules of D&D 5e, even making adjustments that TTRPG fans may be interested in copying to the tables. 300 hours of play so far and still motivated toA game that stands out in every way.

    With a vast world to explore with varied stories and secrets to discover, Baldur's Gate 3 definitely shines. The cast is largely appealing and voice acting is top notch all-around, even if the storytelling and line delivery is varied in its pace. Character progression is somewhat weak in the opening levels but has a strong foundation for a great buildcraft experience, even if it lacks some on the fly experimentation seen in Larian's past efforts. Despite some performance woes in the later parts of the game and controller hangups, this is a journey worth taking for fans of Dungeons & Dragons or those new to the role playing field.

    Larian Studios, the creators of the latest installment, have gone to great lengths to make sure they didn't disgrace any of the franchise's building blocks. The love and care is evident in Baldur's Gate 3, though needless to pretend, there aren't a few bricks crumbling here and there in this monument. It's far from a perfect title, but on the whole Baldur's Gate 3 is a brilliant computer RPG that is undoubtedly not to be overlooked. [Issue#329]

    Baldur’s Gate III is a title that many would not have thought possible just a few years ago. The game serves to further Larian Studios’s already strong reputation, and the studio deserves massive credit for refusing to panic, taking its time to get things right, and continuing to offer improvements even after launch at an impressive rate. Hopefully, it is able to reap the richly deserved rewards for doing so.
