    I've been playing games since I was 6 (i'm 32 now), this is the best game i've ever played. I've tried CRPGs in the past but didn't get too far into them because of the size and complexity which was overwhelming. But Baldur's Gate 3 made a story that is so engaging, with dialogue that feels so real and immersive that I forget time when I'm playing it and can't wait to see what's next. II've been playing games since I was 6 (i'm 32 now), this is the best game i've ever played.

But Baldur's Gate 3 made a story that is so engaging, with dialogue that feels so real and immersive that I forget time when I'm playing it and can't wait to see what's next. I clocked at 125 h in my first "good aligned" playthrough and just started another one with a more "evil aligned" role-playing and I'm 24 h into the second playthrough and it's already vastly different story-wise and gameplay wise since I'm playing another race+class and I'm using different companions. Dialogue options are different, companion interactions are different, questlines went a totally different direction, basically I'm playing the same general story but the road to its end is 70-80% different and hopefully the ending will be different.
    100% recommend trying this game out! It's a masterpiece in production value, value for money and if you've read anything about the developers, Larian Studios, you probably saw these are the people you want to support with your money. Now GO, get lost in the wonders of Baldur's Gate 3, stop wasting your time on metacritic :))    … Expand

    500h in and i still want more

    The amount of ways you can approach quests and combats, the amount of freedom of choice and reaction by the game and is incredible. Larian accounted for people to sneak, steal, move objects, etc and have NPCs reacting to that.

    So many hours of cinematic perfection through mo-cap and just great writing overall

    Graphics 10
    Gameplay 9.5
    Sound 10
    Story 10

    The only reason why I gave 9.5 to the gameplay is due to the choice of removing race differences... I wonder if woke critics had an impact on this choice.

    Anyway, thank you Larian Studios for this absolute masterpiece.

    I've been waiting for a truly good cRPG since Divinity: Original Sin 2. Giving the Baldur's Gate 3 license to the same studio was the best option. BG3 is amazing and the freedom and versatility has no ends. There are so many details and fun mechanics that you just need to do reruns to try it all out. This will be my top game for quite a few months and may not see an equal for quite a few years.

    -You really get immersed in the game and have to think about what you're doing.

    -Actions have consequences, that's so awesome

    - Tactics are required in battles

    - The music is very good, the first time I turn up the BGM ( -The map design is insane and the fact that everything about the map has a purpose and there is fast travel and 1,000 secrets to find.

    The new gold standard of the industry considering role playing games. If you'd told me that we'll have anything other than Zelda:TotK this years GOTY title, i'd tought you've gone mad, then comes this game and now I can't imagine BG3 not winning it.

    As an old school TTRPG and CRPG fan, Larian really exceeded my expectations on this. Visuals, sound design and story are all top notch. Sure it’s not bug free, but for a game as massive as this, minor bugs are to be expected. And hopefully fixed soon. But its a 10 due to how much I am enjoying my first playthrough and I’m almost at the end. Going to start another playthrough immediately after.

    I don't say this lightly, and I do say it with a fair bit of bias (given story-heavy RPGs are my favorite genre), but Baldur's Gate 3 is probably my favorite game of all time.

    The game has multiple unique properties that make it awesome. In my opinion the story telling, the continously more immersive story and the plethora of good writen character makes this a 10/10 rpg. Moreover every combat situation has been challenging fun and I never encountered something that felt unlogical or unnecessary.

The story is very immersive. I actually care about some of the characters fate instead of messing around and choosing all the wrong choices for laugh. The characters are very unique, each character has their personality differ from others which makes it easier to recognize when there are hundreds of character in the game.

    The story is very well-written since it gives me the details little by little when I am progressing and this brings up my curiosity and want to know more about what's going on. I honestly thought I would give up halfway before I started playing this game because of the combat, but in the end, I have no regret at all for playing the game. It really worths my time spent in the game and it gives me the satisfaction of exploring and doing the strategy based combat.    … Expand

Les graphismes sont à couper le souffle, avec des détails minutieux dans chaque recoin du monde du jeu, que ce soit les paysages majestueux ou les créatures fantastiques.

    L'une des caractéristiques les plus impressionnantes de Baldur's Gate 3 est la profondeur de son système de jeu. Les mécanismes de combat sont stratégiques et stimulants, demandant aux joueurs de prendre en compte chaque action et chaque décision. Les classes, les compétences et les sorts sont variés et bien équilibrés, offrant une multitude d'options pour personnaliser l'approche de jeu.

    L'histoire du jeu est captivante et riche en rebondissements. Les quêtes sont bien conçues, avec des personnages auxquels on s'attache rapidement et des choix moraux difficiles qui influencent l'histoire de manière significative. L'écriture est brillante, mêlant habilement l'humour, le drame et l'épique pour créer une aventure inoubliable.

    Un autre aspect remarquable est l'attention portée aux détails et à l'interactivité. Chaque objet, chaque dialogue et chaque interaction contribuent à l'immersion du joueur dans le monde du jeu. Les choix du joueur ont de véritables conséquences, ce qui donne l'impression que le monde réagit réellement à ses actions.

    En outre, le jeu bénéficie d'une excellente prise en charge des mises à jour et de l'ajout de contenu, montrant l'engagement continu des développeurs à améliorer et à enrichir l'expérience de jeu.

    Baldur's Gate 3 réussit à équilibrer habilement les éléments classiques des RPG avec des améliorations modernes, offrant ainsi une expérience qui ravira tant les fans de longue date que les nouveaux venus dans le monde de Donjons et Dragons.

    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.
