    Larian's latest game presents a perplexing dichotomy. On one hand, the studio's talent in crafting immersive worlds and compelling narratives is evident. On the other, glaring flaws significantly detract from the overall experience.

    The question arises: Are the glowing reviews genuinely reflective of the game's entirety? Or are they merely the impressions of those players boasting about being "60hrs in still in act 1"? What exactly are they doing during this time? Admiring the scenery? Lighting torches in buildings they'll never revisit?

    The ending is a stark reminder of the original "Mass Effect 3" debacle – a conclusion that left fans outraged. For this game, the praise seems misplaced. The abruptness, lack of depth, and multitude of bugs make replayability beyond Act 2 unappealing. Why replay when the payoff is so unsatisfying?

    Performance issues are hard to ignore. Even with a high-end setup, frame rates were inconsistent. Act 3, in particular, was riddled with stutters and memory leaks. This segment's lack of polish is reminiscent of the issues "Cyberpunk" faced at launch. Yet, for some reason, these problems seem to be brushed aside by many.

    The game's narrative suggests cut content, with characters built up in the earlier acts only to be reduced to mere boss fights later on. Raphael is a prime example. Minthara, introduced as the evil choice romance option, is riddled with bugs, making her more of a liability than an asset. Choosing her path means sacrificing two well-developed companions, a trade-off that feels more punishing than rewarding.

    Companion dynamics swing between two extremes: overt flirtation and outright hostility. A middle ground is sorely missing. Some companions, like Haislin, become redundant, especially when others, such as Jaheira, offer so much more.

    While certain aspects of the game, like explicit scenes, are detailed, others, like the final act and inventory UI, are lacking. The imbalance is palpable.

    Many are quick to defend Larian's dedication to the game. However, this is no longer an Early Access title; it's a full release. If these glaring issues are acceptable to some, it's a concerning reflection on the state of the gaming industry.

    BG3, despite its moments of brilliance, is overshadowed by its flaws. The journey, which started with promise, devolves into a different, less satisfying experience by the end. It's hard not to question the authenticity of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, especially when the game's latter stages are so problematic.    … Expand

    Best game I have ever played in my life. The depth of the design and the impact that your choices have on the narrative is perfect.

    The only downside in the entire game is that character creation is a little basic, but even then there are a lot of choices that make up for it.

    They completely outdid themselves with BG3. It's familiar, nostalgic, sharp and fresh all at the same time. Yeah there are bugs. Lots of them. But the game is so good, overlooking bugs is trivial.

    Now I understand why other big established developer teams were upset at Larian a month ago. Larian is master esoteric professor who lives in the treacherous mountain pass; complaining devs are the students who refuse to walk to school up hill through the snow because it's hard.    … Expand

    We dont deserved this too good of a game. I just created a metacritic account just to praise this game. Too good!

    It makes you slowdown and imerse yourself to the game. There are consequences where you actually feel it. The gameplay is perfectly balanced. The AI enemy is too good!

    Oh, and no microtransactions! Dialogues are engaging

    Everyone has been to eager to come here and praise this game before getting through it entirely. The first act is a master quality product. However, as you move through the game and into the next two acts the shine wears off. There is an abundance of cut content. Entire zones that are left out. Companion characters with incomplete story and much more. Here is a list of cut content. AsEveryone has been to eager to come here and praise this game before getting through it entirely. The first act is a master quality product. However, as you move through the game and into the next two acts the shine wears off. There is an abundance of cut content. Entire zones that are left out. Companion characters with incomplete story and much more. Here is a list of cut content. As always, the critics didn't get far enough to give a proper evaluation.

    Act 1 - 9/10
    Act 2 - 7/10
    Act 3 - 5/10

    There is insufficient space for me to list all of the cut content, but I will post a few of them.

    1) The Upper City - The most obvious one. Swen himself talked about the "Affluent Upper City" just 2 weeks before launch and described as it being fully explorable and yet it's very noticeably absent from the final game.

    2) Shar Worship - In EA the player was able to select Shar as a diety which game with it's own unique dialogue trees, especially when interacting with Shadowheart as a fellow Shar worshiper. Despite the fact that voice lines were datamined indicating this had functions well into Act 2, it was cut when the game launched.

    3) Karlach's Ending - Datamined content shows that not only did Karlach have a full ending where her infernal engine was fixed and that she survived, but that most of it was fully voiced and complete. However it required triggers from the Upper City portion of Baldur's Gate and when that was cut, so was Karlach's Act 3 storyline. What we have behind have been confirmed to be Karlach's "fail state" endings which were meant to only play if the player neglected her quest chain.

    4) Minthara's Story - Minthara was meant to have a much deeper story, including a pregnancy. These were likely cut due to Minthara being a late stage addition to our roster but dialogue lines remain in the games files that show that not only did Minthara have a lot more content for herself but your other companions had a lot more to say about it.

    5) Halsin's Story - Another late addition to the roster, Halsin was originally intended to have a great deal more endgame content involving the Druid circle, but this appears to have been cut more early on than some of the other items thus far.

    6) Raphael the Merchant - Originally Raphael was meant to be a fully viable option to remove your tadpole, in fact the "Soul Coin" items that you collect in game where originally meant to be a powerful alternative currency accepted only by Raphael in exchange for possibly retrieving your soul as well as a long list of incredibly powerful artifacts from the House of Hope that would be sold by Raphael himself.

    7) Avernus - An entire area of the game. Avernus was meant to be fully explorable and of similar size to the Underdark Area of Act 1. It would be a source not only for Soul Coins but other rare materials, highly difficult fights, and special content for Karlach.

    8) Tav the Dark Urge - A lot of people were both surprised and excited to see the addition of The Dark Urge origin as the Bhaalspawn/Evil option that was missing from EA. As it turns out, Tav was originally the Dark Urge and they were all one origin. Tav was meant to be Bhaalspawn and separating the two seems to be what caused the narrative divide between the Dead Three storyline and the Mindflayer plot.

    9) Omeluum's Ring - In the EA version of the game this ring would block your Tadpole entirely. It could not grow, it could not grow stronger, and you could not use Illithid powers. In the launch version this ring prevents you from being charmed despite Omeluum still stating that it blocked the influence of the Elder Brain/Absolute.

    10) Bhaal and Orin versus the Creche - An entire Act 2 battle was cut in which Bhaal's forces, led by Orin, attacked the Githyanki creche which led to a fight where you either sided with one or the other or had a massive 3-way fight on your hands.

    11) Orin and the Dragon - Orin was meant to corrupt a Githyank red dragon, leading to a boss fight against a Slayer-formesque Dragon.

    12) The Hag Coven in Act 2 and 3 - You may notice that accepting Auntie Ethels help in the first Act can lead to a negative effect when fighting Hags. You may also notice that despite Auntie Ethel having letters from other Hags in her basement, she is the only one you encounter. Originally there was meant to be a full three act story involving the Hag coven including the mysterious "M" who seems to have been their leader.

    13) Epilogues - Full epilogue cutscenes have been datamined that varied greatly depending on your choices. These were the "17K ending variations" that Larian told us about, yet they are completely absent in the final game leading only to a fade to black scene at the end of the game.    … Expand

This game is awesome and Larian exceeded all of my expectations, but it's not a 10 tho. BG3 has issues, so let's start with them, and talk about good stuff later in review.
    - bugs, lots of them. Mostly it would be something minor, like bugged cutscene, or stuff on the table you cant reach, companions not jumping over the edge, even tho if you start controlling them they are perfectly capable of making this jump, or other weird jumps, when you hit something mid-air and stuck in there. I had one bug with the quest, and I couldn't finish it, and save was too far to replay everything all over again. Only once I encountered "game-breaking" bug, when one of my companions couldn't travel, and refused to go to the camp, had to replay last 20 minutes again. It's better then most of recent AAA games, but this game is not without a sin
    - 3rd act cinematics. I absolutely loved cinematics at the 1st and 2nd act. But in the most of them in 3rd I was disappointed. Just overall quality, default music playing in epic moment, weird movement, companions shaking, dialogue cut-off or repeat itself and other strange things.
    - camera. Perhaps the worst thing in this game. Camera controls are just bad, and camera itself most of the times is showing inside of the walls or something weird else. It's getting worse with the fights where enemies are on the different levels and with the ladders
    Average stuff
    +- companions. All companions are well written, All of the main companions have an arc, which you can close in multiple ways. Some companions are fun to be around, some are annoying, and thats ok, they voice acting is on point. But GOD DAMN, why are they so HORNY
    +- performance. Most of the game for me was without the issues, usually I've played for around 4 hours and then had to exit game and open it once again, due to FPS drops and I have high-end pc. But act 3 is way different, when I entered the city I had to exit-enter game every 2 hours at least for game to be playable
    +- battles. I love turn based combat, but I can see how it could be an issue for someone who never played games with turn based combat and does not have an experience with dnd ruleset or other tabletop RPGs
    Now to the good stuff
    + audio. I absolutely loved music and voice acting. Several songs from this game are already in my playlist for dnd sessions. Voice acting is on point, my personal favorits are voices of Narrator, Rafael and Mol. God, I love them
    + freedom. This game really awakens your curiosity. I never had an urge to google how to do this quest, or look up where I could get a better sword. Game gives you all the tools, and you have to find the way to use them. Overall world is fun to explore
    + story. Both main and side quests are great. What I love is that most of these side quests carry on later in the game.
    + replayability. I'm absolutely sure, when I'll going to do my 2nd playthrough I'll get absolutely different experience, and it's wonderful
    + memes. Do I really need to explain myself here?
    I haven't tried coop yet, need to try it as well.

It's been a while since I have played a game that made me feel so happy and have so much fun, the graphics are amazing even though I had to play them on low because of my computer being a bit weaker for games like this one, the story is very good and the characters feel very alive and fun.

    I love this game with all my heart.

    But (a bit spoilers from here on)

    Act 3 was very rushed, a lot of people already pointed that out, I know about the cut content and I would love if Larian brought back all the cut content in a Definitive Edition and brought back the endings, I kinda of understand why they released the game unfinished, but I really wanted to have experienced the whole game as they intended to show us, a lot of the characters don't react to the things you do in Act 3 and Upper City was talked so much about only for it to not be in the game.

    I really want Larian to fix the endings and bring back the cut content, a part of me has a bit of faith that they will do this because of what I heard they did to Divinity Orginal Sin 2, that they fixed a lot of things in the Act 3 of the game and listened to feedback.

    As much as I am disappointed that the studio didn't give us the actual full game (saying this because of the cut content) I still had so much fun with it and loved every single second of it.    … Expand

However, this game feels like playing in a tabletop D&D game with that jerk of a DM who tries way too hard to kill you, and is way too much of a stickler for everything. "Oh, you didn't SAY you were walking through the fire? Well that was the shortest path so now you're burning!" It also has some really annoying bugs, and the UI leaves a lot to be desired, and honestly the animations are pretty bad too. Also all the NPCs are jerks for some reason. It just really isn't for me.… Expand

    El juego es un sueño, generoso en contenido, maravilloso para sesiones largas y cortas. Me devuelve a aquel niño de 15 años que se paso el Baldurs 1,2 y Expansion. Jugar a este juego me hace feliz. Un auténtico 10.

    Most in depth game I have ever played. I love CRPG's and RPG's in general and this is a game clearly made by people who will also play the game. Complete game on Launch with nothing you have to buy to get the full experience was a huge plus. I would highly recommend this game even to people who have never played this genre before as the tutorial is very useful in learning the systems.

    What a home run! It is fun, colorful, crazy, and you can do almost anything you dream up. Absolutely worth the money, this could be the best game of the year!

    Hands down this game is the best game made ever, in the history of gaming. There may be a game that is better but if it's better it must pay you to play it.

    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.
