    Las personas que valoran con un 0 este juego deben tener problemas graves...

    Simplemente por sus gráficos, su sonido, su guión, ambientación, sistema de builds... en fin

    El juego es brillante, completamente mágico, lo cierto es que no hay uno igual... Cuánto más avanzas mejor se vuelve, es impresionante

    It's Larian, after all. One of the few studios left who still make games to make a good game.

    Absolutely overwhelmed all my expectations.
    Imagine a game that makes you think constantly about replaying it more than once while you're still messing around in your current game.
    I can divide the quality of BG3 into 3 parts. Act 1: Fantastic 10/10. An immersive and overwhelming immersive experience. Massive, Exploration, Emotion. Act 2: Amazing 9.5/10. Darkness... and emotions. You    Absolutely overwhelmed all my expectations.

    Act 2: Amazing 9.5/10. Darkness... and emotions. You will have a mixed experience with a bit of Drama and Horror here. Exploration is great but you will feel it to lower back a bit.
    Act 3: Excited -> Overwhelmed -> Curious and lively. Those are the first things that come to you when you step into Act 3 10/10... Then an exciting urban adventure. But the small quest lines started to shorten, it made me a little disappointed. I can say that it is an incomplete delicious taste. you will see what you build from Act 1-2 starting to wobble a bit. 9/10... to the end, it can be said that the part that made me feel a bit disappointed the first time I played. Because bugs start to appear more dense films in the late game. The storylines also begin to end (There's a sketchy feel to the atmosphere). But anyway, the epic and the convergence point at the ending will make your mind excited and satisfied. 7.5-8/10

    But I know that Larian Studios will address these in their big patches quickly. Future expansion, DLC, and mod content for BG3 can be said to be extremely promising.    … Expand

    At its core BG 3 is the closest anyone has come to putting a dnd experience on the computer while it should be noted if you have a problem with 5E you won’t like this as that is what the game is set in, if you have no clue what that means don’t worry about it.

    The devs put a lot of work into this game for sure; you can feel it just from the first few hours of gameplay.

    I made an account to write this review, by the way.

    A spellbinding and enchanting entry in to the widely acclaimed Baldur's Gate series. 23 years after BG2, Larian has managed to make a game that built on the original RPG elements, while bringing forth high quality graphics, character depth, an imaginative narrative, and player choice to the forefront. An instant classic that has raised the bar for all past and future cRPG games.

    A week into playing the game and it has tied Fallout New Vegas as one of my favorite games of all time, this is the type of quality of game I expect from every big budget AAA, and AA studios to make and will hold them to.

    I don't even want to write a review, do you like well-made RPGs? Do you like or have ever been remotely interested in D&D 5th Edition? Have you wanted a game as good, if not better, then the first Dragon Age?

    Well here it is, and if someone doesn't like this game, that's about the genre, not the game itself in most cases, in my humble opinion.

    Massive release from Larian, this game has successfully merged the open ended approach of a DnD tabletop campaign with the style of crpg Larian fans are familiar with. The story beats and impetus in the plot have honoured the previous two Baldur's gate games and the final article is something that everybody must play at least once in their lives. GOTY material right here!

Move over bread, there’s a new game in town, and it's not just your regular run-of-the-mill escapade – it’s Baldur's Gate 3.

    From the    Alright, folks, pull up a chair and gather 'round, because we're diving into the pixelated brilliance of Baldur's Gate 3 – a game so enchanting, I forgot I had a real life. Remember when we thought sliced bread was the best thing since... well, ever? Move over bread, there’s a new game in town, and it's not just your regular run-of-the-mill escapade – it’s Baldur's Gate 3.

    From the moment the game loads, it's evident: my social life was about to take a severe hit. The graphics? Crispier than my grandma's fried chicken. The story? More compelling than my aunt's tea-time gossip. And the gameplay? Smoother than that questionable pickup line from the guy at the bar last weekend.

    Larian Studios clearly sold their collective souls to some mystical entity (or maybe just a Beholder) to produce a game this rich. Every character seems alive with their quirks and unique dialogues, and if you haven't tried voicing them out loud in your best dramatic overtones, are you even playing it right?

    Every decision I made in Baldur's Gate 3 felt weighty, and trust me, choosing where to brunch on a Sunday has never been this difficult. Whether I was scaling treacherous terrains, forging alliances, or just making a tadpole-induced friend (no spoilers!), every moment was an adventure, a challenge, and a chuckle.

    Speaking of humor, the game's wit is sharper than a rogue's blade. It never misses an opportunity to offer a sly nudge or wink, reminding you that even in the direst of circumstances, there's always room for a chuckle.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 didn’t just raise the bar; it launched it into another dimension. If this game were a dessert, it’d be a seven-layer cake, with each layer more delicious than the last. So, do yourself a favor: dive into the world of Baldur’s Gate, but maybe warn your loved ones first – they may not see you for a while. A game? More like a lifestyle.    … Expand

    Absolute banger! Reminds me of golden age Bethesda/Bioware/Blizzard around 20 years ago.
    This dropped as hard as Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009 and The Witcher 3 did back in 2015.
    These days probably only Larian, Owlcat and Obsidian can drop a true banger. A game with soul, deep non-contrived narrative, player choice, fleshed out world, detailed and meaningful character creation.

The character and sound designs are amazing, the environment is beautiful, and the gameplay and story beats are engaging. Player choice feels meaningful and the game encourages you to interact and explore. Bravo to Larian Studios for delivering such a well-executed and refined experience. Larian is a refreshing and welcome outlier amongst AAA game developers in 2023. They are a bright beacon contrasting against the gloomy sea of slapdash cashgrabs, whose developers are so fixated on microtransactions and battle-passes that they neglect to create fun and fulfilling games. I am excited by the high bar set by Larian Studios with Baldur’s Gate 3 and optimistic it will continue to raise industry standards in the AAA space.… Expand

    Best game. I am literally playing 3 games at the same time. One Solo play through, and one each with two of my friends, and i’m still enjoying every one of them. One of the reasons why is because in each play through I have a different party composition. I’ll be playing this game for a long while.

All of their characters are so different but I feel an actual connection to them. The story itself honestly could have ended at act II and I would have felt satisfied; it's just that good. The whole end to the second chapter was the best (by far) experience I've ever had in a video game rivaling fallout 4's brotherhood of steel ending or the last mission of halo 3. For the first time in a game I feel like my choices actually matter, and I can do things the way I would really do them if I were my character.

    I really only bought this game because I loved BG 1&2. I wasn't that excited for it, but playing it has been really enjoyable. There are a lot of in depth quests and choices to make, and combat feels good. I'm not a huge fan of the stat checks, as you can have a character with +10 roll a 1 and fail, or a character with -10 roll a 20 and succeed.

    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.
