    I've been a fan of Larian Studios for many years, I know all their productions,
    Baldurs Gate 3 is the best game I have ever played in my life.
    400 hours on PC Steam, all achievements and now I just bought the PS 5 version and I'm going for the platinum trophy.
    Thank you Larian Studios for this wonderful game !

It was always fps and third person shooters. After hearing about this game through the decreasing population of Diablo 4 and its lack of Endgame, I needed anything to fill the void. I ended up buying this with my brother and it's been one of the most unique experiences in gaming I've ever had in my 20 years. The strategy and chess mindset involved is something I never thought a game could be. If you don't plot your moves and turns right, the game gets pretty demanding and challenging, which is a great thing. The challenge is there, the soundtrack is beautiful (think Fable, Kingdoms of Amalur), the graphics are beautiful in they're own comfortable way, similiar to that of Diablo 4 or Path or Exile (I personally love that style). Last but not least the gameplay and story both sit way above water and Id give them both a 9. On top of all the other attributes this game brings to the table, along with such a custom and unique path and dialogue system, this game gets a 10. The last time I gave a 10 to a game was Uncharted 4 so this says something. To all fps guys who never really tried something like this. Give it a try and sit with it for a few hours.… Expand

    When a game that revolve around the dungeons and dragons mechanics gets good, you can notice it for the first hours, and this is no exception.
    Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the best RPG game I've played, and I get so involved in this, since the very first time I've roll my dices, that I've have already surpassed 100 hours of gameplay.
    What an awesome game

So glad I did. Game of the year! Sure, base Diablo IV is awesome, really enjoyed the campaign, but the Blizzard corporate greed has got me ill and Season 1, damn, it is so disappointing. Turn to BG3 for relief and what an extreme surprise.

    The turned base combat I enjoyed more than I ever I thought I would. I'm a stickler for rules, so I was careful about understanding the combat rules, and all the "it is too hard" complainers need to watch some BG3 combat videos. It is not that difficult. Common sense in most cases, but it is mostly understanding the D&D rules that ensure combat odds favor you, though dice role by luck (turn off that Kharma dice setting) can ruin you regardless. I get wiped, reload, and try again looking for alternative solutions or going somewhere else to gain a level. Oh do I love it.

    This game is so massive and well implemented that my jaw keeps dropping. It is amazing. It is not a double A title, it is a quadruple A title, because triple A corporate greed companies can't match it. How Larian Studios accomplished this while other AAA companies fail leaves me astonished. PLEASE Larian Studios Games, don't be bought out. You folks are heroes now to the player/customer base. You have our trust, our love, our admiration. For everyone else, buy this game, buy it. Just to show support and vote against the monetization of the other corporate greed gaming companies. They are not about gaming and customer satisfaction, they are about greed, period. Larian Studios Games is about customer satisfaction, and boy have they delivered.

    I don't want to give a 10, no game is perfect, I have never given a 10, it is an impossible bench mark. But with respect to what other AAA companies push on us the consumer, my goodness, it is a 10.    … Expand

    The graphics are stunning.
    The game is well thought through and keeps you on your toes, what may start off as a minor quest to get help from a granny at her home may land you in some deep dark caves that remind you of something of a horror circus.
    The music and sound is top notch.
    The gameplay is fun and well thought through.

    I suppose the only potential put off that doesn't apply to me is the learning curve, it's not like some brain dead game like diablo iv that you can just pick up and spam a button to kill everything, you actually have to use your brain a little here and study the environment you are fighting in.

    Every little detail in this game is perfect. While there are some extremely minor bugs, this game is absolutely fantastic and is so rich in its content and scale. With huge player agency and 1000s of hours or gameplay and replay-ability. This game has clearly set the standard and the curve and is a marvel. Everybody at Larian deserves huge congratulations.

    As for the Game.
    10/10 for some reasons.
    1. Amazing story.
    2. Incredible replayability, starting from a minimum of 14 playthrough (of a 70-100hrs game), considering ONLY good/evil route for all the main characters.
    3. Choice matters. A simple choice at the beginning, killed (or maimed) a main origin char...a branching plot 20 minutes in the game? Then more options 30 minutes into the game? Oh god yes
    4. As for now every dialog is voiced over and acted, even simple dialogs without option, and just a line from the random character you're not supposed to interact with
    5. I killed a goblin after jumping next to him and pushing him out of a cliff........this alone is worth a 10/10

    Oh let me add, to those bots or Diablo 4 fan who are giving poor reviews.

    This game came out less than a week ago and already has a huge amount of 10/10 reviews. That is what happens when you have 3 years of Early access by giving people 25 hours of gameplay to replay to infinity with every class, more than what most games give at full release

    Lets start with the disclaimer, the game has bugs and they are being worked on to the point you notice. The biggest in my opinion are in 5 hours I've locked up twice and there is an issue where cloud saving will lock so you cant save (it says it in the corner continously). The cloud saving just means you turn that off in steam/gog and turn of cross sync until you need it, then off again.Lets start with the disclaimer, the game has bugs and they are being worked on to the point you notice.

The cloud saving just means you turn that off in steam/gog and turn of cross sync until you need it, then off again. The good parts I wont get into details but they have put so much obvious love and attention to detail into this being a real player driven narrative. I got myself into some trouble by calling in some NPCs with a horn to help with a courtyard...they attacked a recruitable NPC who them was hostile. I spent 5 hours playing this court yard a dozen different ways, all fun and keeping me going to eventually get the NPC helpers murdered (saved 500 gold!) And split my party so some ran back inside and some across the map...and then after a long rest came back to find that npc in a sorry state but the quest fixed.

    Larian has done what no one has tbus far for me, immersed me to a point i talk to everyone, i have every intention of playing through again at least twice and I'm in act 1 (cleaning up the area). The quest line web is so interwoven if you look at players everyone has these moments that are huge twists and all unique to THEIR play through. I can't recommend this enough and if you can, play with a friend group, but limit that group to one wold card player.

    My biggest complaint is the autosave, keep it event based but give me an option to turn on every 15 or 30 minute autosaves. I mean there are outright player death options in dialogue and with the other issues some redundancy is needed.

    Need aasimar please :)

    Why 10/10? Play the game and figure out why these bugs are minor setbacks.

    L'opera di Larian studio è da 100 senza alcun tipo di compromesso, i "difetti" elencati sono tutti risolvibili tramite patch e sono cose che NON compromettono l'esperienza del videogiocatore on nessun modo.
    L'industria videoludica si divide in giochi fatti veramente bene ma recensiti male e in maniera oggettiva e giochi con mappe nemici e meccaniche riciclate che vanno avanti grazie al loro nome e ai pareri sempre oggettivi dei recensori.
    Baldur's gate 3 offre una libertà immensa con diversissimi modi per arrivare al finale (ben 17000 modi diversi), il combattimento a turni e coinvolgente è presenta chicche interessanti (ad esempio altezza e peso vengono considerati così da far stordire il nemico o farlo cadere magari in un pavimento crepato), l'ambiente circostante è un elemento da tenere sempre d'occhio durante i combattimenti dato che possono esserci elementi che danno vantaggio al nostro avventuriero (come:barili,oggetti sospesi fino ad arrivare anche ai tetti dove è possibile arrivare con i personaggi).
    Il party è veramente importante parlare con loro è legare porterà solo che vantaggi (oltre che a moltissime romance), ogni run cambierà anche in base al vostro party e alla peculiarità di ogni personaggio, ad esempio avere un personaggio con maggior percezione rispetto a noi può portarci a scoprire diversi segreti presenti nella zona di gioco così da condurci a qualche tesoro o qualche sorpresa inaspettata.
    La personalizzazione del proprio personaggio è a dir poco fenomenale, si possono fare creazioni in maniera curata e ben dettagliata che vi faranno perdere ore e ore per quanti elementi si possono cambiare a seconda della razza scelta. La trama è piena di spettacolo e di emozioni, ci troviamo nei forgotten realms di D&D, non si sente mai un singolo momento di noia e si respira sempre aria di avventura e magia.Ogni NPC circostante ci può portare sempre a una variazione cosi da far vivere ogni atto in maniera completamente diversa a seconda delle nostre azioni o dell'approccio che abbiamo avuto.

Also, no DRM, no microtransactions, no lootboxes, no battle passes, no greedy cash grab DLCs, etc. If you like CRPG you have no excuse not to play this absolute masterpiece. Other than D:OS2, the only games that's even been remotely as good on the CRPG front these past two decades are Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and NeverWinter Nights 2, and Knights of the Old Republic 1-2 yet Baldur's Gate 3 still manages to be leagues better than all of these.… Expand

    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]

Hopefully, it is able to reap the richly deserved rewards for doing so.
