    Perfect game, full of activities, choices and a vast fantasy world. The turn-based fights are quite strategic, in fact they are hard but also fun. Each choice changes the plot, so we can start more runs always different. Such a beautiful fantasy hasn't been released in a long time...

    Huge fan of fantasy RPG's and Larian knocked it outta the park. I have played thru Act 1 in EA and now w/ 3 classes on full release and man, no playthrough is the same. Choices have so many unexpected consequences and the character development is phenom. Graphics are gorgeous running on Ultra on an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti

    The single best adaptation of a TTRPG into a video game. Storytelling is amazing, characters are amazing, depth is insane. I have not seen or had any two play throughs that were the same. Player freedom at the highest regard. Mods are the cherry on top.

    The best looking CRPG by far. Carefully crafted vistas of the magical world are stunning and gameplay-stopping, to make a screenshot, or just to admire for a minute. All the environments are very detailed and the number of things you may call “spectacular” is almost overwhelming.

Carefully crafted vistas of the magical world are stunning and gameplay-stopping, to make a screenshot, or just to admire for a minute. All the environments are very detailed and the number of things you may call “spectacular” is almost overwhelming.
    Never have I ever heard such a thoroughly voiced RPG. Everyone has a voice, from the narrator, to your companions, to significant figures, insignificant ones, everyone! Wow! That takes a lot of effort. And that’s impressively immersive while doing the actual gameplay. Now, there’s a painful gap in all that excellence. The protagonist. I won’t go into detail here, because there are none. Silence. The sounds are really there as well. All of them, the steps, the crackling of a fire, the bombastic explosions, the little, almost indistinguishable things. And finally, music. Oh yeah, baby, the music. Sometimes it’s quiet and pretty much unnoticeable, but when the drama really hits, so does the melody. It even has songs with vocals! Spot on, beautiful and perfectly adding to the whole experience.
    The sheer amount of unique enemies you’ll face throughout the game stands out. There’s a lot, like really a lot! And all of them feel different, challenging, interesting, awesome. The battles aren’t easily won on the balanced level of difficulty, providing enough resistance to trigger the usage of planning, strategizing, preparation and, sometimes, save load abuse. The interface panels, which are mostly used in combat, are far from perfect, and I’ve found myself struggling with them again and again.
    The world is vast, brimming with life, secrets to discover, places to explore, views to adore, characters to meet, foes to defeat, heights to fall from and break your neck, doors to lockpick, chests to loot, books to read and so much more! So much, that main questline quickly becomes a hindrance, putting pressure on you to move on, while you’d like to take your time, and stay a little more. Every location is different, every situation has its own smell and flavor, nothing repeats, nothing gets boring.
    Kill them all. You can if you want. Another distinguishing feature. There are no OP guards just to limit your murderous cravings. Oh no. You can totally paint it red. And it feels real good, I must admit. When the words fall on def ears, and the weight of a coin purse isn’t an argument, when your charismatic wink doesn’t quite get you what you want, there’s always an option to let your weapon do the talking.
    Character progression. I feel this is where the game falls a bit short. And by “a bit” I mean like 20+ hours short, for me personally. I’ve hit the level cap way to early. That’s a design flaw that should not have made it into release. Level cap is needed, but when it hits should be balanced in the ballpark of the final endgame. The equipment. The amount of it is too low for my taste, some items even not enough to equip all the companions. Again, loot amount is a question of balance, but I found this balance tipped quite wrongly. The loot system as a whole feels clunky and unpolished.
    The story is deep… dark and spills blood and viscera when properly shaken. Couldn’t help myself not to write that. There’s no debate about how gory and darkly and desperately painful the stories in the game are. Little of them have happy endings, little still can instill a smile. A smidge more humor and rainbows wouldn’t have hurt. Here’s what this game is not – hilarious. Not even funny. The story is admirably well-crafted and sufficiently captivating to enjoy watching it unravel. Especially with your own input, in a form of decisions, from which good ones seem to be none. The twists and turns are plenty, nothing is perfectly clear until the very end.
    A lot of hard work went into the (bloody)merry bunch of companions. Their stories are masterfully interwoven with the main theme, their quests are true delights to follow and experience. They are heroes, they are villains, they are mighty and fragile at the same time. And in the end, if handled correctly, they make you proud.
    The protagonist, you, the player, and your very own character, you don’t get the same treatment as companions do. You have no voice. You have no name. Nobody’s proud of you. Your significance is questionable at best. You never feel enough attention or recognition. The game catastrophically fails to bring the main hero forward and give them the treatment they deserve. Larian Studios never delivered in that regard. The previous games were also lacking.
    Just to mention, the game has no DRM!
    Not to rate it a 10 would feel wrong. The biggest and most ambitious CRPG ever created. Crafted with love, dedication, impeccable attention to detail and best interest of gamers to play it in mind. Must play, not only for RPG fans, for every gamer there is. A masterful work of art in an interactive live form. Magnificent!    … Expand

    The game is one of the best games I have ever played. The story, characters, and world is very immersive. It is turn based crpg so that may detract from your enjoyment if you do not like those sorts of games. It is one of those once every 10 years sort of games that push the envelope of what is possible in gaming well done! Oh and best of all no micro transactions and amazing dev. team that cares.

    The storytelling, scenarios, and visuals are nothing short of superb, and the game has lots of memorable and interesting characters to interact with.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is divided into three acts. Unfortunately, the third act experiences a dip in quality due to a handful of bugs and some inconsistencies in quest progression. These hiccups are a result of the intricate web of choices available to players. Additionally, the pacing takes a hit towards the end, making the game feel like it drags on a bit. These issues prevent it from achieving a perfect 10/10 in my eyes.

    Nevertheless, Baldur's Gate 3 remains an absolute must-play for any RPG enthusiast.    … Expand

Think you could play through it 10 times and not find everything. Time just melts away when you are playing it. The writing and voice acting is perfect I don’t think I’ve recognised a single voice twice. You will be disgusting, angry, elated, cray with laughter, vomit. Everything!

    The game so far has run with no issues except one bit of screen tear when we literally caused the biggest explosion ever. The combat is challenging and one missed place person or rubbish decision can literally lose you a battle. The world is beautifully crafted with so many things you can easily miss or will need a different class to access. It’s mind blowing. For me the best feature is the online co-op, I love playing through a narrative with my mates. They laughs and arguments are unbelievable. It causes conversations you thought you’d never have and find out personality traits you never knew you mates have. It is absolute gaming perfection. I am in no way and rpg fan. I love racing, football, platforming kind of guy but this has changed my look on rpgs. The fact I get to enjoy it with mates just secures it as the best game I have ever played in my life. Keep up the good work Larian. Fantastic    … Expand

    Beautiful both for genre enthusiasts and newcomers. I played one of the, in my opinion, most beautiful but underrated games of the late '90s: "Hall of Dead: Faery Tale Adventure 2". Obviously, in those years, "Baldur's Gate" and "Diablo" were born and they were the absolute masters of the genre. However, "Baldur's Gate 3", with its turn-based combat mode and its potential system to perform any type of action, in addition to the fantastic graphics nowadays and the original fantasy setting, in my opinion, is to be considered one of the most beautiful video games of all time.

    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.
