    1st time I've enjoyed turn-based combat. The story is interesting and your dialogue choices actually matter (I've reloaded a few saves just to see what happens if I choose something else, and am usually surprised how different the outcomes can be).

    I find myself playing until 2am most nights and feeling like a zombie at work the next day. Rinse and repeat.

    This game is the absolute best RPG game I've ever seen.
    The sheer amount of things you can do and the vast variety of outcomes you can get is outstanding.

    I have not experienced any game breaking bugs, occasional character clipping or disappearing textures is fine by me.

    The best RPG I've played in decades! A pinnacle of gaming that everyone should try out! The music, the atmosphere, the narrative, the gameplay, the combat and so on are so beautifully crafted that it's leaving me wondering what happens next every time I stop playing it for the day!

    И, конечно же, нельзя не отметить музыкальное сопровождение. Оно создает неповторимую атмосферу каждой локации и момента игры. Звуки природы, бои, мелодии в городских тавернах — каждая нота добавляет живости и настроения происходящему.

    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Unfortunately, I've seen comments in a similar fashion. Unlike some people, I enjoyed the level cap in a CRPG. In the DoS series, I enjoy min/maxing. Since the maximum level is uncapped, I felt pressured to kill some characters that I wouldn't otherwise. Here, I felt more freedom. Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic;

    Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic; however, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's much less crowd control, which means fights resemble actual battles rather than one party stun-locking the other throughout the entire fight.

    The story is marvelous in my opinion. I don't like games where my character wakes up one morning, and for an hour, the game tries to tell the backstory. The game starts with action and ends with action.

    One issue is that, until Act 3, the story flows intensely along a narrower path. In Act 3, the game takes you to a very large city where you need to slow down and adapt to new stories, unless you want to skip all the content and rush through the main story. I felt a bit conflicted about it because I didn't want to miss out on side content, but I really wanted to follow the main story. However, I can't give it a low score because there's so much content in the game, lol.

    Also, I must mention that the romance aspect is terrible. I completely ignored it throughout the whole game because the dialogues are too amateurish. I wish they hadn't included it at all if they didn't have the time to align it with the overall quality.

    Milestone in the history of computer games.

    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.

    This is for sure the best RPG since quite time. So many decision, so many choices to do, to be... Finally a game that challenge you to THINK and not just grind. Thank you Larian for this masterpiece. One disappointing thing though - why shields not visible when not in battle? Hope you'll fix this, or at least give option to show shield or musical instrument while not in battle.

    Just started my second playthrough, and even just a couple of hours in I'm seeing things I never saw before.
    Such depth, such care taken. It even has a fantastic controller implementation for those of us who like that.
    Absolutely game of the year for me (and yes, I have played Starfield).

    No hyperbole, but this really is just as absolutely close to a perfect game as is possible given our current technology limits.

    for 70 hours of gameplay I got only to the 2nd act, I have not had such immersion in games for a long time. This game, in my opinion, has only one drawback - if you start playing it, you will forget about the world around for at least a few weeks

    There are 0 microtransactions and i personally have played 180 hours with one a few laggy spots and only two major bug (a boss was bugged for me and a companions romance quest was bugged for me)

    Larian deserves all the praise in the world for making arguably a top 3 best game of all time,dont listen to the little crybabies review bombing the game because the game was too hard for them or they just played a dnd game without even liking dnd.

    When they said that you can play this game in so many ways, they weren't kidding. You can be anyone and side with anyone or completely obliterate everything in your way. Just don't forget that actions have consequences - this is implemented on a whole new level.

    I absolutely love DOS2 but BG3 managed to improve on many aspects. I'll be playing this game for hundreds of hours.

    Probably the biggest achievement is that they managed to make a CRPG quite approachable for people who never touched the genre. As a result, more people will be looking into other CRPGs, which is a win for this relatively niche genre.

    Larian really loves what they are doing, and it shows. I applaud the fact that this is such a massive success. Not only me, but it seems like the devs didn't expect it to be such a massive hit either. Well deserved.

    The best rpg i ever played in my entire life, by far!

    The care and attention Larian gave to this project is remarkable, when i talk to my friends about our progression, sometimes we try to do the same thing but the path we took, give us a complete different experience in the process. Also Larian emulated perfectly DnD 5e, they made some changes, yeah of course, but this changes made

It´s fantastical world, vibrant and charming characters, seemingly infinite ways to approach the situations and all those cleverly weaved little stories into that amazing, intriguing overarching narrative. I want to explore everything, talk to everyone. I want to spend time with my buddies and some more time with my loved one.
    Everything is accompanied by beautiful music, those cinematic Bioware-like dialogues add so much character to every dialogue, sounds of battle are so well produced and.. there is just so much life and love in this. And all of that for 60 eur. I would gladly give double. This absolutely is a new standard for RPG´s. And it almost certainly is my GOTY, and I am saying that while being insanely excited for Starfield.

    act1 felt very frontloaded in terms of quality, comedy, shock value, etc.
    act2 needed more content overall but was solid in terms of what was there.
    act3 needed more depth or "oomph" to some of the quest lines. there are bugs, and when you're playing a game this massive right out of the gate of course there are going to be issues, but i can't really dock on them on that because for me

    controller feels 10x better than mouse and keyboard. lack of WASD control on M/K is a horrible design choice but controller offers you character control with the joystick.

    i don't mind save-scumming but there needs to be in-game options that take away this advantage. offer a "hardcore" mode that locks you in to your choices and rolls.

    in my mind the problem with the companion relationships is that they aren't flushed out enough but it's not something you're likely to notice until you're in later parts of the game.

    Slam dunk, baby! Didn't think they would be able to surpass the quality of a gemstone like divinity 2, but what do you know - they just did. Than you, Larian, for proving that the gaming industry isn't all crooked and lacklustre. Thanks for not stuffing your pockets with our cash without giving us something memorable in return.

Than you, Larian, for proving that the gaming industry isn't all crooked and lacklustre. Thanks for not stuffing your pockets with our cash without giving us something memorable in return. I recently bought the cashgrab named 'diablo 4' at full price, so playing a soulful game with real and creative content like this was refreshing, to say the least.

    Keep up the amazing work! I hope more studios will see this as a motivation to up their game, because the gaming (and even movie) industry need to be revitalised - and soon. The general expectations of such forms of entertainment are dumbing down each day.

    I haven't played a D&D game since the old Ultima games, so I wasn't prepared for this.

    Friends said it was a must buy. Some got very emotional playing it. I'm not usually a fan of turn-based games, nor of PC mouse and keyboard gameplay. But the turn-based play is great and I can play with my PS5 controller. The cross save function convinced me to get it for the PS5 too. 10/10 GOTY

    This game is not GOTY, this is a game of a decade. A truly worth sequel to legendary Baldurs Gate games. I’m sure that in 20 years we will remember BG3 as good as we do remember the BG 1 & BG 2 now. A true love letter to any RPG and D&D fan, or even just a gamer that wanted a good product, worth it's money.
    BG3 is an innovational piece of art, a gem in our time. Hats down to Larian studios.

    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.
