    The best game I've played since The Witcher 3 in 2016, I daresay my experience with Baldur's Gate 3 is even better. Masterfully crafted world with superb storyline that can be told in more ways than one and it will still be miraculously coherent by the end of it.

    A dream come true for CRPG and Balurs Gate 1&2 fans. The world building, the narrative, the decissions, the combat, the characters, the possibilities (inmersive sim-like). One in a generation

    Used to play a few turn-based games on mobile before, and I also played SWTOR but I'm more of an FPS shooter kind of player (Doom Eternal), Paladins, etc.). I'm not a D&D fan but god damn I do love the storytelling in BG3, the combat (though not for everyone), and the exploration. If you are a player looking for action and to get your adrenaline rush, this game is not for you.

    I also love the fact that this game has 0 microtransactions, I've been a victim of this kind of crap for a few years now and just recently realized it's all crap. This game is what we used to play, a complete product right from the get-go.

    And for that, I would like to thank Larian for what they have accomplished.

    This game is amazing, the reason it's only a 9 and not a 10 is because it's a bit difficult at first, the controls are a bit wobbly, but other than that it's a great game. I recommend, but still wait for the release on the Xbox, it's still not a Sony exclusive.

    É o melhor RPG de turno que já joguei.

    Zerei pela primeira vez jogando sem assistir nenhum vídeo tutorial, sem entender bulhufas de D&D (joguei apenas Vampiro a máscara de RPG de mesa) e tentei fazer tudo o que podia. Foi uma experiência muito boa.

    Agora estou nível 9 na segunda campanha e a experiência está ainda melhor.

    Teve game over em razão de contar vantagem com a rainha githyanki. Descobri um monte de locais secretos, usei companions diferentes.

    Resumindo estou gostando mais da segunda campanha.

    Em termos de liberdade de escolha nunca joguei nada parecido.

    Desconsiderando alguns pequenos bugs e queda de rendimento no gráfico (principalmente na cidade) avalio o jogo com nota 10.

    A new age of CRPG starts with one that stands above all its predecessors in terms of overall quality. While some might argue that Planescape keeps the crown for plot, there are few games, or media projects in general, that can meet the heights of cinematic immersion, character development and accessible yet enjoyable gameplay which are demonstrated by BG3.

    The possibilities the game give you are insane. The game is super detailed and well thought through

    This game is a masterpiece. Larian Studios somehow managed to outdo their previous titles which is no small feat.

    Might be the best game I've ever played. Truly a masterpiece coming from a developer with a deep love for the IP and the genre. The bugs and minor gripes I have aren't even worth mentioning because it is clear Larian is listening and will fix them. If you buy one game this month, year, decade, generation, or lifetime, let it be Baldur's Gate 3.

    The best D&D game out there and it's not even close. You can literally do anything you would've been able to do in an actual tabletop D&D setup. A true masterpiece.

    Um jogo incrível, um verdadeiro RPG no sentido de interpretar o personagem. A liberdade é muito alta e o combate é tático, pode ser preciso que você aprenda a gostar de jogos por turnos, pode ser difícil no começo o combate, mas vale a pena, jogo incrivel, mais de 600 magias, diversas raças e possibilidades.

    Baldurs Gate 3 is... an absolute masterpiece, it's everything one could dream of for a D&D game and a sequel to the previous Baldur's Gate games, as someone who has loved Larians previous divinity titles, this goes above and beyond and is just bigger and better.

    10/10. I’ve not a huge D&D person and I’m not a hardcore gamer, but the sheer amount of choice, repercussions and variation in the game is mind blowing. It took some getting used to at the start as I had not played similar games, but now I’m just drawn into the gameplay so much. I usually play games for around an hour or two but somehow six hours had passed last night.

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 defined my teenage gamer years. I'm so very glad the series has found a worthy developer to carry on the legacy of those older games -- and really, to exceed them in many ways. As far as I'm concerned this is as close to a perfect CRPG as we're ever likely to see. I hope this provides a foundation for a renaissance of digital Forgotten Realms content.

    I spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times. Coming from DOS2, I feel at home but it's definitely a DnD and Baldur's Gate game. It's a very genuine RPG experience, beautifully crafted so far and I cannot wait to see more and more and more. I rated this a 9 initially but set it to 10 to compensate people who give this game a 0. You areI spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times.

    Baldur gate 3 is the Platinum standard for making rpg. True Rich experience which offers huge amount of content & replay value years to explore. Larian have literally made an anomaly rpg which will make other developers jealous how they did it. It's an phenomenon experience & if you are rpg player you should not miss out this experience in your life time.

    baldur's gate 3 is a visual treat, packing in all the dungeons & dragons classes we love. it feels like an upgraded divinity 2, with choices and encounters that can go a zillion different ways. seriously, if you're into d&d or just looking for a wild ride, this is your game.

    BALDURS GATE IS TERRIBLE FOR GAME DEVELOPERS

    No longer will the game developers have an excuse for why their game sucks and is full of microtransactions. They have had their a** firmly handed to them by Larian Studios who is spanking them and asking "who is your daddy"? This is easily the best RPG that has released in 2 decades and you can tell was made with love, care, and genuine
    BALDURS GATE IS TERRIBLE FOR GAME DEVELOPERS

    No longer will the game developers have an excuse for why their game sucks and is full of microtransactions. They have had their a** firmly handed to them by Larian Studios who is spanking them and asking "who is your daddy"?

    This is easily the best RPG that has released in 2 decades and you can tell was made with love, care, and genuine respect for gamers everywhere. With an amazing story that captivates you and has you constantly asking yourself what is happening behind the scenes, phenomenal companions that each feel like their own person who you want to learn everything about, to the streamlined mechanics that feel as smooth as butter.

    Other game developers should feel EMBARASSED that they have been so thoroughly outclassed. All AAA games by big studios should be on this level of quality, but their laziness and greed has held them back to the realm of mediocre. Shame on every large developer that isn't Larian Studios.

    So basically I hate playing this game, but hear me out! Before you jump into conclusions I'd like to explain why I gave this a positive score.

    1. Baldur's Gate 3 spits in the face of PS and Xbox by standing its ground and delivering to PC players first. It's been a long time since a AAA game has given us anything good because normally big studios would develop their games for Consoles
    So basically I hate playing this game, but hear me out! Before you jump into conclusions I'd like to explain why I gave this a positive score.

    1. Baldur's Gate 3 spits in the face of PS and Xbox by standing its ground and delivering to PC players first. It's been a long time since a AAA game has given us anything good because normally big studios would develop their games for Consoles first and then throw up a half-finished, half-tested title for the PC gamers. Don't get me wrong, the game is still buggy as hell but what's happening right now is historical and it hasn't been seen since probably 2006-2007.

    2. Another thing that plays a huge role as to why this game will receive a positive score from me is ... yep you've guessed it - no battle passes, no microtransactions, no lootboxes. You pay for the whole game and you get the whole game. Simple. Again, something that nobody does nowadays and yet everybody wants to see more of.

    3. You can literally undress your character completely but when you see that 800K daily player count something seems off, doesn't it? When was the last time you saw a AAA studio do this? I personally haven't.

    4. You can play offline.

    5. AAA title for 60 USDeez - the way it's supposed to be.

    As an fps player I absolutely despise the camera in this game and how it moves separately from the character. The bugs and the crashes don't help my experience either, however I'm willing to support it solely because Larian Studios flashes their butt cheeks in the faces of those conceited nobs at Sony Playstation and Micro&Soft Xbox and shows more backbone than all of the studios in The West combined.

    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.
