    This is just perfect. The GOTY by far, but it's by far more than a simple GOTY. It's perfection. I dont think you can play it, and be like "meh, it's ok", it will for sure surprise you and you will want to play it for 12 hours straight. Astonishing, beautiful

    A worthy addition to the Baldur's Gate games of old. Great use of D&D ruleset, no garbage microtransactions to milk the customers of their money, great graphics and story, great character customization, and great quest design where I feel like I can approach quests from multiple angles (an improvement over old BG games).

    The long beta process helped this game launch with far fewer bugs than I'm used to in similar large CRPG releases, which are normally notoriously buggy.

    At this point, I'm happy to pre-order whatever the next game Larian Studios puts out because of my confidence in their vision, talent, and products they've put out.    … Expand

As a long-time fan of the genre, I can confidently say that this game represents the pinnacle of immersive storytelling, strategic gameplay, and technical achievement. Larian Studios has truly outdone themselves, and "Baldur's Gate 3" deserves every bit of its perfect 5/5 rating.

    From the moment I stepped into the world of Faerûn, I was awestruck by the breathtaking visuals and meticulous attention to detail. The environments are richly designed, whether it's the sprawling cityscapes, the eerie dungeons, or the lush forests that beckon exploration. The character models are a work of art, intricately capturing expressions and emotions, making every interaction and cutscene a visual treat.

    But what truly makes "Baldur's Gate 3" shine is its unparalleled storytelling. The game weaves a complex narrative with twists and turns that keep you guessing at every corner. The depth of character development, nuanced dialogue choices, and morally ambiguous decisions elevate the storytelling to a level seldom seen in gaming. Every character you encounter feels like a fully realized individual, each with their own motivations, backstories, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

    The gameplay mechanics are a perfect blend of old-school RPG elements and modern innovations. The turn-based combat system is both tactical and engaging, encouraging strategic thinking and experimentation. The class and character customization options are staggering, allowing players to create unique protagonists that fit their preferred playstyle. The ability to shape the outcome of the story based on your choices and actions makes each playthrough a fresh and exciting experience.

    The attention to detail in the world-building is awe-inspiring. Lore enthusiasts will be delighted by the game's fidelity to the Dungeons & Dragons rule set, which creates a deep and immersive experience for both newcomers and longtime fans. The interconnected quests, hidden secrets, and lore-rich environments make exploring the world of "Baldur's Gate 3" an absolute joy.

    The voice acting and sound design further elevate the game's immersion. From the haunting melodies that set the tone to the distinct voices that bring the characters to life, every auditory element is finely tuned to create an atmosphere that draws you in and refuses to let go.

    In a world where RPGs are a dime a dozen, "Baldur's Gate 3" stands head and shoulders above the rest. Its exceptional storytelling, strategic gameplay, and technical prowess make it the definitive CRPG experience. If you're a fan of rich narratives, strategic battles, and the magic of Dungeons & Dragons, "Baldur's Gate 3" is an absolute must-play. It's not just a game; it's a masterpiece that will leave an indelible mark on the CRPG genre for years to come.    … Expand

    I played it a lot with a friend from school. It was exceptional game as well as as BG2.
    At that time I thought then even if BG3 will be ever released it will not match it's predecessors... But it exceeded them! Well done to whole Larian studies!

    * Movement is very slow: Your group moves rather slowly and you can find yourself looking at your party move somewhere for minutes on end.
    * You will be reloading A-LOT: The RNG, combined with the limited healing options really forces you to reload frequently.
    * Plot is very "Sci-Fi Fantasy": While D&D is known for its slightly cheesy world, this game leans very heavily into the "Dark Fantasy & Sci-Fi" elements of D&D.
    * Combat can be challenging, but also offers a lot of room for exploits. Given the game's many rules, spells, mechanics and items there are hundreds of ways to cheese and exploit fights if you want to.
    * Act3 is more disjointed and less polished than Act1 and 2. While the first two Acts offer a clear main objective, Act3's more "free form" outcomes are less satisfying as not everything gets a fair conclusion.    … Expand

    Literally the best RPG I have ever played. Basically every choice that you make feels like it has some sort of consequence. Pair that with an amazing story, world and characters and you have a 10/10 game

    Baldur's gate 3, this game which reconciles the RPG with the video game. The characters are polished, all have a super interesting background, and seeing them evolve over the course of the story is just pleasant, not to mention the twists and turns! Graphically, as long as you have the right equipment, it's simply splendid, the effects are breathtakingly beautiful and you really feel like you're walking through the world of BG. However, there are still a few small bugs but which will apparently be corrected quickly and which absolutely do not spoil the gameplay (they are very rare). Being a fan of tabletop RPGs, I really find the sensations associated with it. Thank you LARIAN, we dreamed it, you did it!!!    … Expand

    Well worth the wait.

    It’s not the same a sitting around the table with your friends, but it’s a good substitution. People are reporting some bugs (ruined save games and such), but I haven’t encountered any, so far. I’m still in Act I. Graphics are good, but not amazing. However, that’s not the main point of this game. Still, they’re a lot better than previous Larian games, so that’s    Well worth the wait.

    Gameplay. for some people this will be a game that’s too slow. Turn-based isn’t for everyone. I like it though. If you’re a fan of such games, then BG3 will be a great experience.

    UI. a bit clunky at times. Characters sometimes walk into traps they spotted earlier. Spellcasting can be difficult in the beginning of the game. But once figured out, it’s easy to use.

    Story. not the most surprising story out there, especially if you’ve been reading fantasy books and have been playing DnD since the eighties, but it’s well written and entertaining.

    Environment is well designed, recognizable from previous Sword Coast environments. And when there’s an encounter, it’s easy (and advisable) to use the environment to your advantage (I have the high ground).

    All in all, I really like this game. There’s room for improvement, so that’s why I ‘only’ give it a 9 out of 10.    … Expand

    Masterpiece.
    Only 3 problems:
    - D&D mechanics are not so fun in a videogame, most are counter intuitive and boring.
    - Mute heroes in dialogues.
    - You must create a custom character to join a party in multiplayer.

    Larian has crafted something truly special. Something that captures what it's like to play table top D&D, adds in the quality of life improvements that you would expect for a game without braking the experience. Most importantly the game is exciting and fun to play. It is dense, and you are rewarded for getting into that dense material in both game rewards and experiences.

So other developers now have ZERO excuses not to match BG3 in terms of game quality, gameplay and polish.

    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.
