    I find no other game better then this one so I guess I will give it the maximum score. I am close to finishing act 2 and I'm having a blast, and I'm saying that from the perspective of a gamer that never played D&D and never really was a fan of turn-base games. I love the game!

    This is the best game ever written and created. Growing up with D&D as well as all the baldur's gate games, this was the successor I was waiting for. Being a forever DM for tabletop games I never had a chance to experience a well structured world. This gave me the opportunity to play all my characters I have created in my head over the years and do pretty much anything I want to do in a world.

    Never thought i would like a turn-based CRPG game... until i encountered and played BG3. This is it! Thanks Larian for introducing me to such a great game... it's the best that has come to fruition!
    Hurrah! Hurrah!

    The game is good. Damn good!
    It's everything I want in an RPG and more.

    If you were wondering if the hype surrounding the game is just, well, "hype"... I can assure you it's not. This a triumph of what a studio that respects their players, and takes pride in their work, can do!

    Bravo, Larian! Bravo!

    BG3 is the best game I played in 2023. Similar to Elden Ring of 2022, I truly believe BG3 will be game of the year.

    I love this game. Feels as close to IRL 5e that, in my opinion, a videogame can. Throughout the gameplay finding things that you usually can't do, even in other games similar to this. Earlier today, I threw a goblin off of a scaffolding, into his buddy, and got them both. Very, very satisfying.

    In the mid-70s, I was a teenager, a friend introduced me to "Dungeons and Dragons". I joined the U.S. Navy when I was 18 (it was 1981) my friends and I played on the ship (while at sea) on the weekends and holidays for HOURS. Now, I'm 60, and THAT GAME is on my PC, just like I remember it. If you have ever played D@D, Get This Game.

The turn-based gameplay style was a refreshing departure from other games I've played in the genre. What truly amazed me was the staggering freedom it offered; you can practically do anything within the game's boundaries. This freedom extends to shaping the narrative as well, with countless consequences for every action you take throughout each act, making every choice feel meaningful.

    The story is nothing short of fantastic. It's one of those rare games where I eagerly interact with every character and creature, driven by a genuine curiosity to learn more about the intricacies of the world. Across multiple playthroughs, I've observed how the dialogue dynamically changes based on the decisions I've made, enhancing replayability.

    Exploring the backgrounds and personalities of the characters in your party is an immensely satisfying experience, surpassing even the Persona games I've enjoyed in the past. Currently halfway through my second playthrough, I can't wait to embark on yet another campaign, this time fully embracing the role of a villain to witness how the story unfolds. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone seeking an engaging and enjoyable narrative experience.    … Expand

    Absolute masterpiece, and i am rooting for it to be GOTY.

    I have never played any BG game before and so, this review is from someone who is new to the game and genre. And i have to say that I am absolutely blown away, and thats a heavy understatement. The game is full of content 100%; storyline, VO, action, mystery, puzzles. There is SO SO MUCH content and I'm about half way now and    Absolute masterpiece, and i am rooting for it to be GOTY.

    The game is full of content 100%; storyline, VO, action, mystery, puzzles. There is SO SO MUCH content and I'm about half way now and I DONT WANT IT TO END!! I don't remember the last game I felt like this, where I wanted to keep playing because it was just so good.

    BG3 does everything right for me:
    -Storyline is fully fleshed, pacing makes sense, dialogue choices are meaningful and impactful.
    -Skills, combat and action is fluid and most importantly, so much fun. You can sneak attack if you like to hide in the shadows, or you can knock enemies prone for crits if you prefer a hard hitting type play, or if you like range, you can also annihilate them from afar with a fireball. There's so many playstyles for everyone.
    -graphics are absolutely gorgeous; the character designs, environment and landscape. I don't know how many times vie stopped to take screenshots because of how breathtaking the game is.
    -the game offers you so many items to play with that you never feel like you're not progressing. Progression really is secondary in this game. You don't need to find OP items or grind to level up to be strong. You play the game and it happens from all the exploration already.
    -newplayer friendly: you don't have to be a DnD vet to play the game, I am very clearly not. It doesn't hurt to learn what each action means so you know what to do, to better your chances of talking your way out of tricky situations or winning a fight but it isnt by any means a steep learning curve. Its a game that anyone can really jump right in and start right away!

    Honestly, there's so much more positives about the game and I would be writing a thesis if i listed every single one. But from my personal experience, it is the best $70 purchase I have made. I know I will be playing this for a long time.

    TLDR: This game is worth $70! It is a COMPLETE game, full of content, fun, repayable, newplayer friendly, no microtransactions, no wardrobe cosmetics, no extra cost for anything. You pay once, you get the entire game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!    … Expand

All this exploration is on top of the amazingly well spoken and written story lines. I want to play with every character. If you are the type of person that might be interested in the story, quests, exploration, and are not turned off by redoing battles, if needed, then PLAY it.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece. And most importantly it is the best example of ethical game development. My OCD wishes there was an easier way to alter a character once created. This game provides the best video game way of playing D&D, and adds vertical aspects that are often missed in a table top game.

On to the actual game itself; incredible! Every choice matters, even the small, seemingly insignificant ones can alter the story in ways you wouldn't expect leading to a "What if I did this differently?" curiosity that makes replaying the game very satisfying. The combat (although I didn't enjoy it at first since I'm usually not a fan of turn based combat) is very engaging and thought provoking, encouraging you to use trial and error to figure out the best way to best enemies.

    And finally, the characters. Oh the characters are so amazingly written, each having a very in depth personal quest that you can affect in a multitude of ways depending on if you have romanced them, they like you or they despise you. Each companion feels important to the story, like they belong in the world and that their opinions and feelings matter to your own character. All in all, there are a million ways to handle every situation and that is what makes this game just so damn good. The developers should be damn proud of this and I couldn't recommend it enough!    … Expand

    Blizzard stop sending your employees to vote down this game. 9000 failed to make a good game in 5 years, I doubt they are competent enough to find the 0 button. And to all the "this is a slow combat game" ... you are stupid. I loved BG1+2, but missing turn based was a weakness of BG1+2 and a strength in games like Pathfinder after they introduced it. It's DnD, not your daily kiddy clicker game.

    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.
