    This game really has all for a CRPG type of game. The only downside is that the combat is way too slow-paced due to being turn-based. Would've want realtime with pause like the earlier BG games, at least as an option (kinda like how Arcanum works). Beside that, everything is really great. And the story is really awesome and funny too. It's like KOTOR and Dragon Age Origins on crack.

This game is a breath of fresh air and it’s nice to play a game at launch that is completely finished and not a broken buggy mess. Yes there are some issues with frame rates but nothing game breaking. And I’m very happy with the idea that this game has no microtransactions no payed dlc it’s a one time payment and you have hundreds of hours of content. The studio really should be proud of themselves for putting a lot of love and care into a game, one that is easily my contender for game of the year! This is a perfect game for sure Expand

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.

    I actually always despised that camera angle.
    And I love this game (especially we can zoom in like in a 3rd person game).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Much like Fallout, Skyrim, The Witcher, Disco Elysium and the latest Pathfinder, Baldur's Gate 3 is another step in the never-ending RPG stairway. It's a game that takes everything that has been done before and moves it (arguably more than) a step further while evolving the genre as a whole.

    After tens of thousands of hours playing videogames throughout my life I can safely say that to this day I haven't played and RPG that gives you so much freedom on your choices and adapts to them so easily. The ripple effect of your choices in one act - even the small ones - will turn into a wave in the next one. You can make the most random and nonsensical choices - and even turn back on them later, and the game will still give you a path forward and make it feel like you're living in an ever-changing world where your decisions matter.

    As a disclaimer I want to say that Baldur's Gate 3 has a lot of bugs, especially in the later acts. It's by no means a perfect game BUT with the amount of choices and different paths the game presents to you, it's impossible for things not to break. However, from my personal experience, every bug I've encountered - including the gamebreaking ones and softlocks - doesn't even make a dent in how great this game is. It doesn't matter if it has bugs because the scope of this game is so big it'd take YEARS of gameplay for anyone to see everything the game has to offer.

    I'll cement this and explain it better in the next part of this review, but I wanted to say this before we get into spoiler territory.

    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Personal experience with mild SPOILERS ahead:

    I'm playing this game with 3 of my friends and we have 70+ hours in this run. While they're doing a Chaotic Good playthrough I'm going full Evil with The Dark Urge. I've slaughtered whole towns behind their back. I've murdered and committed other heinous acts against important Story NPCs while they weren't watching. Every choice I made went against everything they stood for, and a lot of them happened AFTER the whole group interacted with said characters.

    At this point, any other game I've played would've either forced you into a predetermined path with set-in-stone events or simply stopped functioning in one way or another. BG3 is still holding, we're still making choices, NPCs have disappeared, lost their minds or turn against me and the story is still giving us plenty of choices to move forward. The consequences of our (mostly mine) acts can be seen all around us, and they're shaping our path forward, but not forcing anything upon us. If I wanted to redeem myself right now, I could. If all my friends wanted to turn Evil with me, they could. This is the true definition of 'freedom' within an RPG, and that's what shapes BG3 to be the best RPG to this day.

    Un juego al que me aventure siendo mi primer CRPG, jamás pensé que me podría haber gustado tanto, sin duda para mi es el juego mas ambicioso que he jugado este año y uno de los mejores videojuegos jamás creados directo a mi lista de favoritos.
    Unos personajes a los que coges cariño, una banda sonora épica y melancólica, y unas misiones y tareas tan bien escritas que tras 110 horas de juego no me aburrieron en ningún momento, no todos los juegos tienen que ser así, ni creo que vaya a ser un estándar en la industria pero si esta calidad fuera lo normal la industria seria mucho mejor.
    Larian ha hecho un juego inigualable y para mi es mi GOTY

    No game I have ever experienced has as much love and genuine effort placed within it that one cannot even experience on a single adventure.

    No BS microtransactions to distract and extract, no nonsensical battle pass, just a wonderful game made by some wonderful people.

    It's not very often I see a dude in a suit of armor with a bunch of devs dressed in cosplay and ultimately become endeared to them as they exude a dedication to the game itself. It really shows in their work.

    Thanks!

    I missed out on the Collectors Edition so 0/10. But the developers said no mtx so 20/10. So that averages out to 10/10. The game is not for everyone so please do not buy it if you will complain the combat is "slow" or there are "too many cutscenes/dialogue".

(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.

    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.
