    In an era where the gaming landscape is often marred with microtransactions, in-game purchases, and various other monetization strategies, BG3 stands out as a beacon of what gaming was and should always be about: pure, unadulterated fun.

    What a fantastic CRPG and work of art. A personal game of the year, perhaps of the last 10 years. I am hopelessly addicted. Not without some minor flaws, but a masterpiece nevertheless. Trust the dice? Hmmm.

    This game is the result of massive efforts of people who love what they create. It's creative, very versatile and full of well designed stories and dialogues and allows you as a player to experience it on the way you want. Never experienced THAT level of possibilities, not even in games like Planescape Torment. I will play it at least a second time even if it takes hundreds of hours to finish it.

    I havent been this exicited about a game since at least the origianl breath of the wild and maybe not even then. I think this is the most I have enjoyed a game since college 20 years ago. It helps that I am exactly the target audience prefering my games turn based and being an avid DnD fan but I know that others who dont share those traits are loving this game too.

    If you like the genre it's a masterpiece, but you must really like it, because it's very slow. From my point of view it was 74 hours well spent

    I don't write reviews often but this is what a game should be. No Microtransactions and just focused on player experience. I'll give my money to games like this all day even though they are far and few between.

    Never in my life I played a game so immersive as as BG3.
    I am inside this story, it feels amazing, I feel invested, involved.
    The combat is just glorious, the dialogues, the characters. Always something different to do.
    How often a game makes you "feel" so much?
    This is not a game, it is an experience.
    BRAVO!

    In the first Act you need to take a room full of baddies where the everyone will agro against you, so I climbed into the rafters and had each of my characters drop a barrels of oil and "smokepowder" into the torches below... blowing everyone up before they can fight back.
    For another fight I chose to snipe at enemies with my thief's bow and quickly go into sneak mode. When the they come looking for me, I stab them in the back from the shadows.
    Not to mention you can talk your way out of most fights.
    This is so much fun and more varied than games like Divinity 2 where every fight feels like a prolonged mini boss fight. Larian also loves their environmental effects like fire, ice, water, etc but thankfully they have toned that down a lot since D2.
    There are also plenty of puzzles that are fun, varied and interesting and nearly all of them aren't essential to the main story so you can totally skip them if that's not your thing.
    There were a ton of bugs and crashes on the first couple days of playing but Larian squashed most of them quick. There's still some graphical quirks and UI annoyances like I need to click on a character portrait multiple times to be successful, but I have no doubt the devs will get to them in time.    … Expand

They have no idea what they are talking about and must've played something made by Blizzard...with battle passes, microtransctions, bloated **** gameplay that gets nerfed each season to limit how much fun players get to have, there is only the slog that only wants to maintain your engagement in their chore lists not your entertainment. Baldurs gate 3 is just phenomenal. Turn based combat, exploration, and dialogue focused scenes are basically the main aspects you'll be dealing with. If you don't like that combination just give this one a miss, it's not for you. I've played through twice, both with custom characters. The 2nd being the dark urge origin. My 1st play through I went down the morally good alignment saving people from the baddies and such and it was amazing, there was so many quests and party members to speak with, finding allies who would be in the camp to speak with later for additional lore and dialogue rounding out their smaller quests. The finale of my 1st run was great and I enjoyed the ending I got. The whole marketing thing of 17k endings obviously isn't true there are slight differences and variables dependent on your choices but largely you'll get a handful of endings. I wish there was more of an epilogue for the characters I spent the last 50+ hours with but you get a few final scenes that close of some things and leave others with some speculation. My only complaint is the dark urge and going for an evil, succumbing to this origin characters dark desires often results in a very evil run albeit to some gruesome moments and I dove right in, but this resulted in a smaller number of allies I could choose for my party, losing karlach and wyll because of the choice I made in act 1 provides you with 1 replacement of an enemy turned friend in act 2. Act 3 in my 1st run left me with so much to do in the way of quests but on my dark urge there were was not as many in comparison, but this is . I definitely had more fun in combat with my dark urge, being evil and resorting to violence has some pretty good rewards if you follow it to completion. All in all I've put over 130 hours not including my early access playtime which was about 30 hours and this game is one of the best ever made. For RPG lovers. A welcome change from the never ending live service pieces of **** that have clogged up the industry of late. Triple A Developers should be worried because this is now the standard for RPGs whether they like it or not. The next dragon age, mass effect or whatever else comes out should be compared to BG3.… Expand

    Didnt expect the combat to engage me, started at lowest difficulty just wanting to see the story since that's more than worth the purchase. After only a few battles i was as engaged on the battles as i was on the story and ended up switching to Tactician. (max difficulty)

    Never expected turn based combat to be so thrilling.

    The reason I m giving this game a 9 and not a 10 is for the weak companions relationship. I was expecting something like Mass Effect but it s very shallow and sometimes personal moments feels very cheap.

    A fantastic game with everything anyone could want from a Dungeons and Dragons RPG. It's the closest you can really come to playing the table top, without actually playing it. The story is great, the freedom of choice is great, the graphics are great, and the Divinity style turn based combat suits the Dungeons and Dragons IP fantastically. This is one of my top rated games of all time.

    Until playing this game, I was not into turned-base combat or single player experiences. But now I'm addicted and eager to join my friends in a co-op campaign. Loving just how much thought and effort was put into this game! Let it serve as a lesson to all the studios that have been creating games of lower and lower quality over the past 5 years or so.

    The world, characters, atmosphere, voice actors, writing and the cool turn based combat with so much depth to passives/actives and classes, it's all so AMAZINGLY cool.

Only preorder MTX which is totally fine.

    10/10 Game for me! This is coming from someone who's not an avid Turn Based Combat gamer. Thank you Larian Studios! I am not setting my expectations to be always as high as BG3 for you, but you've won someone over. Looking forward to your future projects.    … Expand

    I was a bit sceptical at the start since Mass Effect is sci-fi and I love space plus the combat for Baldur's Gate at first seemed meh and odd.
    Anyway once I started playing, I was not disappointed! the characters, the lore and the gameplay though it looked simple are quite complex and interesting. The best part is that your actions and choices make a huge impact on the ending and how the game treats you going forward.
    I had a good experience with Mass Effect's choices but this game nailed it to perfection.
    Still playing the game and loving it. Definitely a game that I recommend playing at least twice as there are so many pathways that can't be explored in just a single play-through.

It's amazing that a company can actually make promises and actually deliver. 30 hours into the game and I'm still in ACT 1....amazing! There is SOOOO much to do in this game.

    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.
