    Best crpg I ever played. The world and story reacts to your choices. Free choice in combat style and customization of your class. The very catching story that is tied into the lore of the forgotten world setting. The devs listen to feedback and try their best (and succeeded) to deliver a game that pleases the players

    People used to understand that games of this size, scope & ambition would inevitably have bugs, unintended glitches & even performance issues. However, the game does so darn much & is so insanely fun that any issues I experienced never impacted my overall experience. Wacky things pop up in crowded combat, and there are times where I've had huge performance drops. It's inconsistent, but the nature of the game mitigates how much it distracts from the experience. It's a bit more annoying in cutscenes or dialogue, but otherwise it didn't bother me much. I have experienced one crash after level up, but nothing else.

    The only reason I'm detailing this stuff & not all it does well is because this review would go on FOREVER if I took that route. Better to touch on the handful of issues, then tell you everything else is just amazing. Even though games like Skyrim & BotW are completely different games than BG3, I feel a similar level of "this is amazing" while also accepting the bugs & flaws that come with it.

    Hopefully because it's not tied to some specific console via exclusivity, fans will be more tolerant of these things instead of latching on to them in order to bolster the fanboy console wars.    … Expand

Not just a successor to its venerable predecessors, this game feels like a magnum opus that elevates the entire genre. The Baldur’s Gate series has always been iconic, but this third installment stands as a paragon, demonstrating what can be achieved in role-playing gaming.

    Every inch of this game brims with meticulous detail and careful design, manifesting a sense of wonder and immersion that is peerless. Larian has achieved what many would deem impossible: raising the already lofty bar set by the series’ earlier titles. “Baldur’s Gate 3” is not just a game; it’s an intricate tapestry of player choice, intricate mechanics, and narrative depth.

    Players will find themselves ensnared in a vortex of immersion. Every decision you make feels weighted with significance, creating a truly interactive and dynamic story that evolves with the player at its helm. It’s not just about picking dialogue choices; it’s about feeling the very pulse of the world react to your actions.

    From its compelling narrative to the entrancing soundtrack that adapts seamlessly as players traverse it's vast world, underscoring each moment. The voice acting is nothing short of spectacular, breathing life into characters with such authenticity that they feel more like companions than simply digital constructs. The mechanics are fluid, and the UI is intuitive without being overwhelming.

    One of the game’s most notable feats is its ability to maintain a sense of wonder throughout. The world of Baldur’s Gate 3 is rich and diverse, filled with hidden nooks and crannies that beg to be explored. The personalities encountered are as varied as they are intriguing, each contributing to a world that feels alive and ever-evolving.

    In conclusion, “Baldur’s Gate 3” isn’t just a milestone for Larian Studios; it’s a watershed moment for RPGs. It stands as a testament to the potential of independent game development and sets a quintessential standard that developers will be striving to reach for years to come. If you consider yourself a fan of RPGs, “Baldur’s Gate 3” is not just a recommendation—it’s an imperative play. This is storytelling and game design at its zenith.    … Expand

    To be honest, the best AAA game which isn't even created by AAA studio.
    Thank you Larian for creating such a masterpiece.
    Your game will live on for at least a decade.

    You won't regret buying the game and if so giving a big middle finger to all the known big studios.

    BG3 is the best electronic rpg of all time, it makes Zelda look like an old car all torn apart and broken. The beauty of BG3 is sublime on all levels, the criticisms here are mostly untrue and without any sense of fanaticism as if the game or platform were religion. The only criticism I have about BG3, is that the camera system could have been improved on viewing angle and way of tracking.

This is better than I could have imagined, been gaming since the 90's and I've played almost every big cRPG out there and most AAA RPGs in general.

    As for the Game.
    10/10 for some reasons.
    1. Amazing story.
    2. Incredible replayability, starting from a minimum of 14 playthrough (of a 70-100hrs game), considering ONLY good/evil route for all the main characters.
    3. Choice matters. A simple choice at the beginning, killed (or maimed) a main origin char...a branching plot 20 minutes in the game? Then more options 30 minutes into the game? Oh god yes
    4. As for now every dialog is voiced over and acted, even simple dialogs without option, and just a line from the random character you're not supposed to interact with
    5. I killed a goblin after jumping next to him and pushing him out of a cliff........this alone is worth a 10/10

    Oh let me add, to those bots or Diablo 4 fan who are giving poor reviews.

    This game came out less than a week ago and already has a huge amount of 10/10 reviews. That is what happens when you have 3 years of Early access by giving people 25 hours of gameplay to replay to infinity with every class, more than what most games give at full release

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the options, and then they've already chosen an option before you could have your input.. Then you couldn't see the option they chose, it's caused a few arguments around how it should be selected and if the player talking should actually read out their choice before selecting.    … Expand

    Hugely better than the generic boring ff16 d0gsh*t

    I missed out on the Collectors Edition so 0/10. But the developers said no mtx so 20/10. So that averages out to 10/10. The game is not for everyone so please do not buy it if you will complain the combat is "slow" or there are "too many cutscenes/dialogue". The game allows you to do or play practically however you want and approach things in various ways with combat or game choices. ItsI missed out on the Collectors Edition so 0/10.

    I would put Baldur's Gate 3 on the same illustrious pedestal as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic which was released 2 decades ago.
    This game isn't just the RPG of the year or even decade but of a generation.
    Every gamer and games company will be using Baldur's Gate as a point of comparison for years to come when talking about perfection.

I'm just going to say this is Larian, what Bioware and other mythic studios used to be before being bought by greedy companies. That this game is made with love and passion, and that 20 years into the future, it will still be considered as a reference. Buy it.

    Absolute masterpiece, and i am rooting for it to be GOTY.

    I have never played any BG game before and so, this review is from someone who is new to the game and genre. And i have to say that I am absolutely blown away, and thats a heavy understatement. The game is full of content 100%; storyline, VO, action, mystery, puzzles. There is SO SO MUCH content and I'm about half way now and    Absolute masterpiece, and i am rooting for it to be GOTY.

    The game is full of content 100%; storyline, VO, action, mystery, puzzles. There is SO SO MUCH content and I'm about half way now and I DONT WANT IT TO END!! I don't remember the last game I felt like this, where I wanted to keep playing because it was just so good.

    BG3 does everything right for me:
    -Storyline is fully fleshed, pacing makes sense, dialogue choices are meaningful and impactful.
    -Skills, combat and action is fluid and most importantly, so much fun. You can sneak attack if you like to hide in the shadows, or you can knock enemies prone for crits if you prefer a hard hitting type play, or if you like range, you can also annihilate them from afar with a fireball. There's so many playstyles for everyone.
    -graphics are absolutely gorgeous; the character designs, environment and landscape. I don't know how many times vie stopped to take screenshots because of how breathtaking the game is.
    -the game offers you so many items to play with that you never feel like you're not progressing. Progression really is secondary in this game. You don't need to find OP items or grind to level up to be strong. You play the game and it happens from all the exploration already.
    -newplayer friendly: you don't have to be a DnD vet to play the game, I am very clearly not. It doesn't hurt to learn what each action means so you know what to do, to better your chances of talking your way out of tricky situations or winning a fight but it isnt by any means a steep learning curve. Its a game that anyone can really jump right in and start right away!

    Honestly, there's so much more positives about the game and I would be writing a thesis if i listed every single one. But from my personal experience, it is the best $70 purchase I have made. I know I will be playing this for a long time.

    TLDR: This game is worth $70! It is a COMPLETE game, full of content, fun, repayable, newplayer friendly, no microtransactions, no wardrobe cosmetics, no extra cost for anything. You pay once, you get the entire game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!    … Expand

    Sorry for my english since it's not my language.

    I started playing BG3 few weeks ago during the early acces. Even if i'm not a big fan of the turn based games (the only thing that binds me to this genre is a feeling of affection for the old final fantasy games) just after 20 hours i understood that this game wasn't only the GOTY of 2023 but probably the best game i ever played.

If not the first i would say for sure the second. This game can aspire to become one of the best 5 games ever made. Im not overreacting.
    As i said im not a big fan of this genre and i never played Larian Studios games. I want to be really honest and objective. I was curious of this game just because when i was young i played the 2 Baldur's Gate Dark alliance (not from Larian) games since i am a fan of the old Diablo 1 and Diablo 2.

    When you play BG3 in EVERY SINGLE CELL of this game you breath the love of the Larian Studios developers. It's unbealivable how a indipendent studio made such a beautiful Opera. Everything in this game is soo beautiful... level desing, character design, storytelling, mood, balancing, OST, side quests. It's just unbelieveble. They demonstrate that even if you don't like a genre you could like it if this is made with love and innovaton merging the old and the new in such an epic way. They took one of the most static and for some people boring genre of game making it really dinamic and funny. Its just so good that a small studio like Larian proved that there are small productions able to make much better games in quality than big production. There are people who make videogames only to grab money and people who do it with love (like FromSoftware).

    Personally for me it deserve the GOTY without any doubt (let's wait for Starfield release) but sometimes for some reason GOTY awards are given without any objectivity just because people are stupid. This game have complicated mechanics for the mass and it will sell less than other videogames but this is not a good reason to not be awarded. So, FOR ME.... No Zelda, not this time :) !!!    … Expand

So glad I did. Game of the year! Sure, base Diablo IV is awesome, really enjoyed the campaign, but the Blizzard corporate greed has got me ill and Season 1, damn, it is so disappointing. Turn to BG3 for relief and what an extreme surprise.

    The turned base combat I enjoyed more than I ever I thought I would. I'm a stickler for rules, so I was careful about understanding the combat rules, and all the "it is too hard" complainers need to watch some BG3 combat videos. It is not that difficult. Common sense in most cases, but it is mostly understanding the D&D rules that ensure combat odds favor you, though dice role by luck (turn off that Kharma dice setting) can ruin you regardless. I get wiped, reload, and try again looking for alternative solutions or going somewhere else to gain a level. Oh do I love it.

    This game is so massive and well implemented that my jaw keeps dropping. It is amazing. It is not a double A title, it is a quadruple A title, because triple A corporate greed companies can't match it. How Larian Studios accomplished this while other AAA companies fail leaves me astonished. PLEASE Larian Studios Games, don't be bought out. You folks are heroes now to the player/customer base. You have our trust, our love, our admiration. For everyone else, buy this game, buy it. Just to show support and vote against the monetization of the other corporate greed gaming companies. They are not about gaming and customer satisfaction, they are about greed, period. Larian Studios Games is about customer satisfaction, and boy have they delivered.

    I don't want to give a 10, no game is perfect, I have never given a 10, it is an impossible bench mark. But with respect to what other AAA companies push on us the consumer, my goodness, it is a 10.    … Expand

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe. I wish to share my impressions, while avoiding any spoilers.

    One of the game's greatest strengths is its stunning visual presentation. Environmental details, character models, and visual effects create an impressive and immersive world. Each area we traverse reflects the characteristics of the region, adding depth to the gameplay and allowing us to immerse ourselves in the presented story.

    The story of Baldur's Gate 3 is filled with intrigue and surprises. The developers have crafted a complex web of character relationships, giving weight to our choices with real consequences. As we delve deeper into the game's world, we uncover mysteries that become increasingly captivating with each step. It truly takes one's breath away to realize the multitude of narrative branches that can be explored.

    The combat system is also captivating. The combination of turn-based and real-time elements allows for a strategic approach to battles. Combat isn't solely about strength, but also agility and tactical thinking. The ability to interact with the environment, utilize terrain, and the diversity of character skills create dynamic and thrilling encounters.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game in its early access version might have some imperfections. I encountered a few bugs and unfinished elements that could occasionally affect the smoothness of gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers are continuously working on enhancing the game, and the full version is likely to bring many improvements.

    To sum it up, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that draws players into its world from the very beginning. A captivating storyline, breathtaking visual design, and an innovative combat system combine to create an unforgettable adventure for RPG and fantasy enthusiasts. Despite some imperfections, giving this game a chance is well worth it, as it offers a wealth of experiences to be enjoyed.

    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.

Hopefully, it is able to reap the richly deserved rewards for doing so.
