    Игра не без шероховатостей на старте, но на фоне халтуры, которая выходит в последнее время от крупных студий она является глотком свежего воздуха. Прошел DoS и DoS2 от Ларианов, являюсь поклонником серии. Играл в Бету БГ3 и был очень доволен. На данный момент всё ещё прохожу первый акт, который был немного переработан, столкнулся с парой мелких багов. В остально игрой очень доволен.Игра не без шероховатостей на старте, но на фоне халтуры, которая выходит в последнее время от крупных студий она является глотком свежего воздуха.

    Wonderful game! I am so happy that there are studios out there like Larian and FromSoft still out there. This is what integrity, passion, talent, pride, and hardwork looks like. This team at Larian seems unreal, when you look at what is out there. They should be proud of what they have accomplished.

    A truly great game with almost unlimited possibilities, an amazing and interesting open worlds and great dialogues. If you want to lose yourself in a side quest that lasts up to 10 hours and the quest giver is a goat you can only talk to if you are an animal friend, that is the game for you. IMO that game is the new rpg-Standard and definitively GOTY.

    Cuantas más horas juegas y más avanzas (llevo unas 60) más te enamoras del juego y ves todo lo que tiene que ofrecer. La cantidad de posibilidades abruma y cualquier decisión puede cambiar drásticamente como trascurre la historia. Es sin duda la mejor adaptación de un juego de rol a videojuego. Una obra maestra que va a marcar historia.

    Hit around 100 hours played today, came to give it a 10 after just experiencing the end of act 2. 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. This is on another level of depth and quality, what a game. Hope other studios take notice and I get to play another game like this.

    I have never enjoyed a game so much in my life. I loved Divinity Original Sin 2, and I grew up on the Forgotten Realms books (still waiting to hear about Drizzt in BG3) and this game marries those two together so well.

    I love the environments, the dynamic combat, the dialogue, freedom of quest order and direction, the graphics, the amazing variety of classes and multi-class combos.

    The origin characters/companions all have their own stories to experience, and they're even more engaging when you PLAY as them ... this game has at least a thousand hours of fun available to those who want a game with a lot of replayability.

    Brush up on your D&D 5e knowledge before you try it, but know they don't do everything EXACTLY how D&D does.

    It does have some bugs, especially states. Meaning that sometimes when loading my characters don't have torches active. Loading again they do. Those are though so minor considering the fact that this is the first game where I feel I can roleplay a neutral

    The game is amazing in everything it sets out to do. 0 faults. Buying this and playing this instead of the rubbish we get fed by the AAA companies is like sticking ur middle finger up at them. This is worth your time and money. Its sad that getting a game like this is now rare.

    It would be a waste of time for me to ramble on when in all reality, after what I would believe to be almost a full playthrough, I probably haven't seen half of what there is to see in this incredible Dungeons and Dragons based RPG from Larian.

The amount of dialog options, story paths, encounters, and events in this game is absolutely astounding. Even compared to the Bioware and Black Isle games. The 5th ed. D&D system lends itself perfectly to these types of games with loads of actions and spells available depending on your class and level. The story is as compelling as I've seen in any video game regardless of platform or genre. I find myself being constantly blown away by the twists and turns along the way.
    Technically speaking, it's also a gorgeous looking game and runs very well on my mid-tier system and still looks great with many of the bells and whistles turned down/off.
    The character models are ridiculously detailed and convey a more than adequate amount of emotion. Especially compared to some other games in this genre. Spell effects are A+. The voice acting and sound are top tier as well. TL:DR This is far and away the game of the year. even if you're not the biggest fan of this genre is probably worth a try for the story alone.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a little bit of everything; PC (built by me), Xbox, Playstation, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10) Outstanding.
    A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    It's been years since I've played a game that I enjoyed so much that I play it every chance I get. So far I'm 150 hours in and I believe I'm about to beat the game. Occasionally, I did run into a bug that didn't allow me to continue a quest, but I would just load an old save and loose about an hour of progress to fix it and try to be more careful. Usually It was because I would try to attack while one of my characters were in dialogue/ cutscene. This is a turn-based game and I learned to like because it allowed me to strategies more but usually I don't like turn-based games. I'm also not a D&D player and find the dice rolling a little annoying when in the cutscenes trying to get the story to go where you want to, so I scum save. Surprisingly, I didn't have to reload often. I've enjoyed the story and I could see myself replaying this game. I started a co-op campaign and starting to see how different the game can be based on your choices and it's a remarkable accomplishment.

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 :) !!!

    Joguem, deem uma chance, ou esperem uma promoção, mas pra mim hoje esse jogo por R$ 200,00 vale cada centavo, melhor que muito jogo aí de R$ 350,00 com microtransações dentro do jogo (quem conhece tá ligado).

    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.
