    Larian Studios has made a perfect blend of their unique gameplay style with Wizard of the Coast's Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons. There is interesting plotlines and quests, with excellent writing and character design. The amount and quality of the content actually fits the 60 dollar price, compared to other games that have less content and more filler for the same price. Truly captivating!

    I don't like DND. I don't like turn-based games. I don't like CRPGs.

    I love this game

    Absolute trash and an embarrassment to the preceding games in the series. I'm convinced the positive reviews are mostly bots.

    I used to be a turn-based game hater before Baldur's Gate 3 came out, but this masterpiece changed my mind, i bought it thinking i would have an horrible experience thanks to my bias but i ended up playing it for 16 hours straight on release, i finished my first playthrough 90 hours in tactician, 90 hours and i skipped almost every character questline!

(except Shadowheart's and Karlach's), loved the ambience, the gameplay, the story, the voice acting, the graphics, the narrator, the map layouts, the music, the characters, the little details like random npcs and animals having their own dialogue, how the maps actually feel alive, how your actions have an impact on them!
    Yes, i used to be one of the believers that Tears of the Kingdom would be the game of the year, but that was because i didn't know that this masterpiece of a game would come out a couple months later, Baldur's Gate 3 is so incredibly amazing that it ended the GOTY contest just like that, at least for me.
    I could nitpick about how the game just fades to black after you get the ending and doesn't let you keep playing or finishing other quests but i understand Larian's reason, imagine having a destroyed version of Baldur's Gate city after the final battle, that would be like 30 extra gbs worth of assets (by the way, please give us a lighter version of the game, i'd sacrifice my Ultra textures for a 100gb installation folder any day of the week), i wouldn't have minded being sent back to the normal city with the final quest finished if that meant i could finish other side quests.
    Last but not least, FIX KARLACH'S ENDING, it doesn't matter if Game of the Year edition, DLC or whatever, the fiery babe deserves better, JUST DO IT.    … Expand

    This game is the pure definition of white knighting. Tons of issues people overlook or play through, and anyone who might have a criticism is chastised.

    Cuando un juego te hace pensar en los personajes, las elecciones que has hecho, las elecciones que todavía querés hacer, el siguiente lugar que querés explorar y la progresión general de la historia DESPUÉS de que hayas cerrado el juego y tal vez estás en la cama o fuera de casa y no puedas esperar para volver a jugar, entonces algo va terriblemente bien.

    Este juego te atrae de una    Cuando un juego te hace pensar en los personajes, las elecciones que has hecho, las elecciones que todavía querés hacer, el siguiente lugar que querés explorar y la progresión general de la historia DESPUÉS de que hayas cerrado el juego y tal vez estás en la cama o fuera de casa y no puedas esperar para volver a jugar, entonces algo va terriblemente bien.

    Este juego te atrae de una manera que pocas veces sentí en algo, es una experiencia diferente, una realidad diferente, es tu vida propia vista por los ojos del narrador y tu personaje. Vos y tu personaje son uno sólo.

    Yo mismo no soy un jugador de D&D. Es por eso que apenas conozco las reglas, pero el juego te brinda suficiente información para orientarte y, con el tiempo, aprendes cosas "juguetonamente".

    El mundo en el juego parece tan increíblemente vivo. Nunca sientes que estás "trabajando en" misiones porque incluso el registro de misiones está escrito con sugerencias escritas, como si estuvieras tomando notas sobre las cosas tú mismo.

    Deambulando por el mundo, descubres algo interesante en cada esquina y te distraes con algo en el camino hacia una búsqueda y luego hurgas aquí y allá y de repente ha pasado media hora y tienes que recordar a dónde vas realmente. porque has descubierto un lugar oculto que absolutamente querías explorar "sólo brevemente".

    Otro punto a destacar son los personajes. Se siente como viajar con "gente que vive y siente". Cuando recorres el mundo, dependiendo de la combinación que hagas en el grupo, las personas también tienen cosas de qué hablar entre sí, algunos se entienden y bromean, otros se enojan, se hacen comentarios aquí y allá. Parece "real". Y no quiero ni empezar con las relaciones personales que haces con tus compañeros. A veces olvidas que es solo un juego preprogramado.

    ¡Y luego las elecciones morales que tienes que hacer! Un simple encuentro con un NPC puede desencadenar una historia de gran alcance que te dejará sin saber a quién creer. ¿Deberías creerle a alguien y a quién ayudas ya quién no? ¿Deberías ayudar a alguien en absoluto? Todo es posible, nada es obligatorio. Las posibilidades parecen infinitas.

    Básicamente, recién comencé a jugar (llevo 30 hs in game) y solo he visto una parte del mundo hasta ahora, ni siquiera puedo comenzar a imaginar cómo será cuando llegue a la ciudad.

    Estoy seguro de que he olvidado una serie de cosas que me gustaría elogiar. Ahora que lo pienso, realmente no sé cómo voy a justificar comprar otro juego a precio completo en el futuro dada la cantidad y, lo que es más importante, la calidad que obtienes por lo gastado acá. Sé que.. duele gastar una cantidad así elevada de dinero, pero $20.000 (unos 60 €) por este juego en realidad no son suficiente cuando ves lo que obtienes (un juego terminado sin apenas errores, nada que comprar a través de DLC, sin microtransacciones, no tienes que estar en un comprar un pase de temporada cada mes a partir de entonces). Obtienes un juego que es simplemente divertido.

    Podría haber dado un pulgar arriba y dejarlo ahí. Eso es bueno porque nadie leerá esta reseña de todos modos. Pero este GOTY merece tantas palabras como sea posible al respecto. Ni siquiera comencé a hacerle justicia, podría hablar de eso por mucho más tiempo.

    Wow! This game feels really good to play. The attention to detail is exquisite. While there are quests and a main story, you can do things in whatever way your curiousity takes you.

The gameplay and mechanics feels like a sandbox that you can experiment with in any way that you want without it feeling like you're forced to do something or that you're missing out if you don't do something. The combat has a slight learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it feels really smooth. There's enough complexity that you can spend hours minmaxing if that's what you enjoy doing, but you don't have to minmax to enjoy the game. Whether you succeed or fail at your rolls impacts the flavor of your gameplay without seriously impacting your ability to progress through the game. It's a nice feeling to succeed on your rolls, but if you fail them, it's not such a big deal that you feel like you have to save scum. If there is a really import dice roll that you don't want to fail, the game gives you many ways to improve the odds of the roll, and if you still fail, you can try again with inspiration dice that you are rewarded with for role-playing your background. The combination of everything makes the gameplay flow in a way that is very smooth and satisfying. I have hardly touched the reload button.

    I could go on and on about every little thing that makes this game great -- art, writing, voice acting, map design, music, sound, etc -- but the main thing for me is that it just feels really good to play. One of the best games I've ever played, for sure.    … Expand

I don't think you'll have a good complete game like this for a while. I hope this win the game of the year even topped the game in metacritic because it is well deserved. The community of Larian are in great position and hope they continue to stay strong because I want more of them and hope they can do well in Divinity Sin 3.

    My favourite thing about this game is that you have decision and you would be in conflicted by your consequence which also would shape your story. Bad or Good, it's still beautiful and you have rewarding moments. You would be amazed or shocked. Even the companion was fun to toy with.

    Also I never thought turn based game especially in Baldur's gate 3 would be so much fun and can be challenging,. Even if you're not a big fan of turned base but I suggestion you should try it anyway. A lots of games these day are in hurry and want to speed thing, so It's time to slow down once a while and enjoy every amount of the game so that you learn to appreciated it.

    Again, it is masterpiece and well done (aside of few buggy). We need more complete game like it. Thanks Larian for this beast game.    … Expand

    This game is undoubtedly GOTY material, it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    While it’s adaptation of 5e D&D may not be for everyone, I believe the game does a good job in toning some aspects down with its “Explorer” difficulty as to appeal to a more casual audience who may not have experience with D&D or wit 5e

    The main storyline also feels disjointed, and as much as I enjoyed acts 1 and 2, there is very little direction or progress in the main storyline until the end of act 2. It feels as if you will spend most of your time running around doing side content with no larger goal in mind. The companion storylines were fun to watch for the most part, however one character in particular seems to be a huge victim of cut content.

    The game is also missing basic quality of life features like easier party management, and some of the fights near the end of the game are just painfully slow as sometimes enemies will stand there for 30 seconds unmoving, and since there's no way to speed up enemy turns I just end up alt tabbing while waiting for it to be my turn again.

    I've been playing video games for 30 years. I was really starting to lose hope that any developers or studios would ever push the envelope again. Take risks and challenge themselves. Listen to the players and release a video game worthy of our time and money.

I was really starting to lose hope that any developers or studios would ever push the envelope again. Take risks and challenge themselves. Listen to the players and release a video game worthy of our time and money.

    I can't really nail down ALL the reasons why Baldur's Gate 3 has enslaved me now going on 100 hours. I think it's the entire presentation. They get so many things right. And then they go out of their way to show you more. It just never stops. There's never a lull in the story or in the action. Never a period of just grinding out XP to level up by farming one location over and over again. They didn't just put a new coat of paint on the genre. This is the genre. In fact, I don't know if anyone has ever been making CRPGs correctly so you might be like me and have never experienced something like this. I haven't been this excited for the future of gaming in over a decade. I can't wait to see how other studios respond.

    The inter-connectivity between everything going on in this game borders on unsettling. Like you're being tricked or something. You get these moments where you're like, "Hey, what . . wait a second??" 

    Like this one where I found a stray dog on the road guarding his master's dead body. My Druid could speak with animals and is very persuasive so we were able to talk the dog into coming back to our camp for food and shelter. He ended up staying and is just our dog now. But he found this red ball one random time when I was at camp and he had it in his mouth and I took it, then I used the throw command and the dog chased it. Pretty neat. Kudos. But then about 60 in-game hours later this happened.

    I'm on a main-line quest and I decide to go rogue. I break into this balcony and lock-pick the door from the outside. My party all crowd into the room and there's this un-dead dog barking and going crazy. The game cuts away to a list of prompts to see how I want to proceed.. And one of them reads "Maybe you still have that red ball that Twitch was playing with."

    AND I DID!! I had it with me throughout the whole game. I had the dog sniff it and then I rolled against my Animal Handling to try and calm him down all the way. Which failed after 6 attempted rolls and 3 save games. So I did have to murder that un-dead dog.

    But I couldn't believe that little red ball made such an unexpected appearance way later in the game. Its that connectivity between everything. Even things that don't relate or won't ever be in the same room together. That random chance, or forgetting something small, seeing coincidences and wondering if they mean something. That **** really makes this world feel like an actual place. Random connections and coincidences happen if life all the time. Never thought I'd see it in a game that felt this authentic.

    One last thing while I'm here. I was debating this so I rolled for it. Here we go.

    I've never done this before in any review. There are some games that I cherish dearly. I don't know if I've ever said this about any game. Maybe in a drunk conversation.
    SONIC FRONTIERS IS THE GREATEST F**KING GAME EVER!! FIGHT ME!!!

    But I've never truly believed that I had arrived at that conclusion with any game. And I believed I would live the rest of my life without ever making such a bold and ridiculous claim.

    However, Larien Studios has shown us otherwise. The impossible has been achieved. Baldur's Gate 3, in-my-opinion, is the greatest game ever made. That's a very opinionated and biased statement that is definitely worth debating so I'll leave that at that and finish with what I do know to be absolutely true. Baldur's Gate 3 is my favorite game of all time. Ever.

    This has been a stunning year in gaming. Might end up being the best year in gaming . . . ever. So Baldur's Gate 3 didn't have a blank slate of bored gamers with nothing great to play. Because there has been multiple instances of greatness this year. I think It's fitting that in a year filled with so many great titles, one of them would not only stand high above the rest, but make a play for all-time greatness.

    Now then, you people have wasted enough of my precious BG3 time. I really hope everyone enjoys this amazing and so very special game. If you don't, don't blame my review. Blame your parents.    … Expand

    BG3 gives so much agency to the player, it feels like it is on an entirely different level than the game that came before it. It stands among the RPG greatest hits for me, and Larian feels a lot like Bioware felt during their prime. I feel the same emotional highs I felt when first playing Mass Effect or KOTOR.

It's an increasingly rare type of gem among today's Video Games, where Live Service and Micro Transactions water down the base experience of most new titles.

    BG3 remains faithful to the DnD 5e experience by taking the base rules, and then bending and homebrewing those rules where it makes sense for the sake of fun or balance.

    It is a complete package, much like the Baldurs Gate titles that released before it, with no need to buy a season pass or a DLC to get the full and complete experience.

    I look forward to more amazing titles from Larian studios in the coming years, hopefully a Starfinder title? One can hope.    … Expand

To be honest, a couple of times I puzzled over it all so much that I had to peep into the guides.
    + Bright, memorable companions. Each of them stole my heart, and even Laezel, with whom we have a difference of opinion. My applause goes to the voice actors and everyone involved in creating the characters in this game. And the personal quests of Karlakh and especially Astarion made me cry.
    + A combat system heavily reworked from the DnD 5e system that rewards the creativity and little tricks of the player. I'm not a big fan of turn-based combat, but the local one pulled me in with my head. Holy Kitties, what a thrill I experienced every time I managed to outwit the enemy, find some interesting tactical solution, and so on. Not only did the battles from time to time not become duller, so the game periodically also threw up interesting conditions for success.
    + Opportunities for roleplaing. The game is attentive to the race and class of the player, which is just fine. For example, playing as a drow, I walked back and forth through the goblin camp as if at home, and no one even objected to me either at the entrance or anywhere else. And being also a bard, I very often managed to agree with the characters about what I needed without bloodshed. And this is just my personal example, and there are many such variations in the game.
    + The beauty of the surrounding world. It is detailed, rich, destructible, interactive. It wants to be explored and used during battles. The lighting here is especially beautiful, sometimes I lingered in locations just to admire them.
    + Faces of characters. For me, this is a separate highlight and from now on my personal little fetish, which I will look for in future games from other studios. The way the characters act in the cutscenes, gesticulate actively, use facial expressions and every wrinkle and muscle on the face is involved in this... Just wow. Sometimes I caught myself involuntarily holding my breath from acting out other characters and copying the facial expressions of my own drow.
    + Delightful musical accompaniment. The soundtrack of the game is already downloaded on my Spotify and listened to several times. Infrequently, the music inside the game has such a strong effect on me: where it evokes sadness and sentimentality, somewhere else it adds fighting spirit and courage. That moment in Raphael's mansion was unexpected and chicly appropriate. The song Take Control and the moment with it from the Control game immediately came to my mind. And when the end credits rolled and their title song played, I simply burst into tears from all the emotions accumulated over a long adventure. I think it's worth it.

    Throughout the entire game, with the exception of a few major battles, my laptop ran the game's ultra-settings at 50 fps at QHD resolution.
    Even upon arrival in the city, I did not experience significant problems, and I have only a couple of small "buts" in relation to this game:
    - The apparently unfinished final part of the game, which begins after the gates to the Upper City. But I think this is a temporary problem, which will be fixed in subsequent patches and hotfixes, which Larian do not skimp on.
    - From what I've heard, a lot of content was cut that was potentially interesting and expanding on the story of the game. I hope it will be added later or its tails sticking out in the game will be polished a little. But its absence does not affect the complexity and pleasure of the game, in my opinion.
    - Cluttered epilogue. It seems that everything was enough for me, and I had a final dialogue with the favorite, but I wanted something like "a year later" for the satellites with whom I managed to become related in more than a hundred simulated hours, as well as small epilogues for those characters and for world, which somehow influenced my actions. We can only hope that the developers will listen to us and add this to the game.

    My review turned out to be unexpectedly large, although initially I did not even know how to express my emotions and impressions of Baldur's Gate III. In my eyes, it's amazing. I have been waiting for it for several years and I will go through it more than once alone and with friends.
    And separately I want to say immense thanks to Larian Studios, which, most likely, will not see this, but still. Despite all the difficulties for decades, they did not turn off the intended path, but gained experience and released games better and better, putting a piece of their soul into them. Baldur's Gate III is their crowning achievement right now, but I'm sure these developers will be able to surprise us in the future. Thanks to them for their intelligence, creativity, perseverance and respect for their audience. Strength to them and inspiration for future games!    … Expand

They have no idea what they are talking about and must've played something made by Blizzard...with battle passes, microtransctions, bloated **** gameplay that gets nerfed each season to limit how much fun players get to have, there is only the slog that only wants to maintain your engagement in their chore lists not your entertainment. Baldurs gate 3 is just phenomenal. Turn based combat, exploration, and dialogue focused scenes are basically the main aspects you'll be dealing with. If you don't like that combination just give this one a miss, it's not for you. I've played through twice, both with custom characters. The 2nd being the dark urge origin. My 1st play through I went down the morally good alignment saving people from the baddies and such and it was amazing, there was so many quests and party members to speak with, finding allies who would be in the camp to speak with later for additional lore and dialogue rounding out their smaller quests. The finale of my 1st run was great and I enjoyed the ending I got. The whole marketing thing of 17k endings obviously isn't true there are slight differences and variables dependent on your choices but largely you'll get a handful of endings. I wish there was more of an epilogue for the characters I spent the last 50+ hours with but you get a few final scenes that close of some things and leave others with some speculation. My only complaint is the dark urge and going for an evil, succumbing to this origin characters dark desires often results in a very evil run albeit to some gruesome moments and I dove right in, but this resulted in a smaller number of allies I could choose for my party, losing karlach and wyll because of the choice I made in act 1 provides you with 1 replacement of an enemy turned friend in act 2. Act 3 in my 1st run left me with so much to do in the way of quests but on my dark urge there were was not as many in comparison, but this is . I definitely had more fun in combat with my dark urge, being evil and resorting to violence has some pretty good rewards if you follow it to completion. All in all I've put over 130 hours not including my early access playtime which was about 30 hours and this game is one of the best ever made. For RPG lovers. A welcome change from the never ending live service pieces of **** that have clogged up the industry of late. Triple A Developers should be worried because this is now the standard for RPGs whether they like it or not. The next dragon age, mass effect or whatever else comes out should be compared to BG3.… Expand

    I have seen a lot of comments about the ending of the game not measuring up to the beginning. I disagree. I think it does end a little abruptly *just like every dnd campaign*, but a sprawling epilogue isnt needed. The story isn't the one that plays just before the credits, its the one you participated in for the 100+ hours it took you to get there. There were some minor bugs in my playthrough, but none that truly detracted from my experience. Things like t-posing ghouls in the background of a cutscene, or a romance scene playing twice. My performance was great across the board, though I am running a pretty solide rig.

I have the attention span of a gnat, but not 1 conversation in this game has lost my attention for more than 5 seconds.

    - Your choices matter, and not in the Tod Howard sort of way. The game totally changes depending on your choices of which there are countless. It makes you want to play through the entire game multiple times just to experience how different each playthrough is.

    - Tactical, turn-based combat with so many different ways to approach any given encounter. The difficulty can vary drastically depending on your plan going into a fight, and there is a massive amount of freedom in how you choose to exploit an enemies weaknesses if you are willing to look for them.

    - The character creation and class system is deep, and only becomes deeper as you level up and unlock more skills and traits for your characters. Each class can showcase it's own utility in all things including combat, world traversal and dialogue. Every character in your party will have their uses depending on the situation.

    - The story is phenomenal from start to finish. It initially makes you feel somewhat insignificant as an entity in a massive world with so much going on around you, yet also makes your decisions for you and your party feel important and impactful to the world you inhabit. There are twists you don't expect, as well as tough decisions to make that can drastically change your playthrough. And the game is paced beautifully as it slowly builds and builds in tension and intrigue.

    Overall this game is probably the most shockingly good game I've ever played. I haven't tried any of the previous instalments in the series, and I had hardly heard of it up until it released this month. But it has ended up, in my mind, being a must-win for game of the Year, even in a year with so many great games being released. This is a special piece of media made by people that clearly truly care about what they have made and they deserve all the success they are having for it.    … Expand

    Honestly one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. Some things you should know if you’re planning on playing:
    1.You have to have your Nvidia driver updated so it doesn’t run like crap
    2. It takes 120 gigs 3. It has turn based combat 4. And it has a pretty confusing introduction It also has some bugs here and there and some frame rate issues but most of the time is runs pretty well.

    Fantastic game and worthy successor to Baldur's Gate 2, one of the best RPGs of all times. BG3 shines with tons of content for free, lots of replayability and great writing.

    Insane game, anyone that thinks about checking it out, try it! The Combat might be not everyone's favorite since its turn based. But do not let that distract you from all the hard work Larien put into the Story roleplay and Impact of your choices. There is no other game that compares to the depth of your choices and the many outcomes it can have on your experience of a playtrough.

    The most important thing that makes a game playable is the gameplay. Unfortunately, the gameplay mechanics of this game are from the 1990s and are very boring. Overhyped !

    Keep in mind that I'm a devoted fan of the Baldur's Gate series and Larian's work as well. My expectations were sky-high, yet the game managed to not only meet but exceed them. Additionally, I find the adaptation of the intricate D&D mechanics into a computer game format, while still being accessible to newcomers, to be an impressive feat achieved by Larian.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece! It's so open-ended, fun, and replayable that I know I will be playing it for years. It's even teaching me how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Larian really knocked it out of the park. Absolutely my Game of the Year!

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is a spiritual successor of the series in the best way one could hope for. The design and level of detail is great, the voice acting is superb and you can feel the love that went into this project.

I look forward to playing this through again with an origin character and different choices.

    Yes, there probably are a lot of things the devs would have loved to integrate into the final release and couldn’t, but compared to other productions I don’t consider this a flaw, rather a reality of game design industry. Personally, I would have enjoyed Alfira or Zevlor joining my party or other non-tadpole-infected characters I meet on my journey. Kagha or another «evil» druid would have been an interesting addition. Also, I could imagine more freedom in terms of evil party composition and story development. Some things appear on a sidenote and could be more tied into the main plot.

    Anyway, I judge what I get and not what could have been.    … Expand

    Aren't masterpieces like divinity, divinity original sin 2 enough to prove Larian Studio's talent?
    I do not appreciate the story Baldur's gate 3 is it a new standard or not? But if we don't consider it as a role model in game development, then we will have junk games like ubisoft, overwatch 2

    I understand the hype and this year as produced some amazing games like Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. And Starfield looks unbelievably good and hope it delivers. This game could and should of been so much more. Find it boring to be honest. Disappointed!

    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.
