    This game masterfully executes the D&D experience. In addition to all this, for the size of the game, its graphic quality is incredible and especially the localization of subtitles for different countries. Really a game that elevates the franchise even further and manages to demonstrate what a studio with people passionate about a project is capable of doing. My GOT this year without a doubt.

    Everything looks, works perfectly organically and authentically. I love the dialogs, the variety of how to handle every situation and their results. For me, the - so far - perfect BG / DnD adventure.

    BG3 is a masterpiece, plain and simple. people who give this game a rating below 6 are extremely jaded. best example is one guy who rated it a 4/10 to "balance out the hype", lol. i rate it a 8.5 - 9/10 (after the bugs i have an issue with are being dealt with) but for now, its a 8/10.

    + the characters are well written, and have unique personalities and struggles
    + the dark urge origin fits surprisingly well for it being a highly customizable character
    + the combat being turn based is amazing, thats how baldurs gate 1 and 2 should've been
    + the world design is phenomenal, it rewards exploration
    + the quests are amazing, full of twists and many ways to solve them
    + the itemization is great, so many powerful items that define classes, literally BiS
    + the music is absolutely amazing, its so immersive, so forboding, mysterious

    now the cons:

    - the performance is bad in act 3
    - some quests are bugged
    - using long rest as story progession is weird and makes you miss some story beats, especially during act 3
    - camera is weird too, why does it hang on mountains? is it a literally person holding that camera and can bump into stuff?
    - the inventory is bad, you get lost easily without proper sorting

    anyway, thanks for reading my review. :)    … Expand

    New to the genre and normally not that much into such games. However this game and the community make it to easy to get into it. So much different approaches/options on how you can progress also gives the game a good reason to not just play through it once. Top 3 GOTY 2023 candidate for me

    I'm very grateful that Larian put out this old school game the way they did. Is it bug free? No. With gigantic content and a very large, lovingly designed game world, is it in far better condition than the dirt that all the big publishers have been putting in front of us for the last 10 years? Hell YES.

    Un juego lleno de detalles. Si esperas jugar sin salirte de las mecánicas habituales, te sabrá a poco. A parte de la trama y la espectacularidad de sus escenas, el potencial de este juego está en la libertad para solucionar encuentros o situaciones de formas muy diferentes. El juego te invita a encontrar otras formas de jugar.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumphant return to the beloved world of Dungeons & Dragons, offering an engaging and immersive experience that's sure to captivate both veterans and newcomers to the series. The game's story is rich and compelling, drawing on the lore of original D&D content and setting up a grand mission through the main characters' infection with a mind flayer parasite. What trulyBaldur's Gate 3 is a triumphant return to the beloved world of Dungeons & Dragons, offering an engaging and immersive experience that's sure to captivate both veterans and newcomers to the series. The game's story is rich and compelling, drawing on the lore of original D&D content and setting up a grand mission through the main characters' infection with a mind flayer parasite. What truly sets the narrative apart is the freedom of choice, allowing players to craft their own unique story from thousands of possibilities.

    The gameplay mechanics are faithful to the standard 5th edition D&D system, with Larian Studios infusing their signature style from previous titles like Divinity Original Sin 2. The level cap of 12 strikes a perfect balance, and combat feels authentic to a D&D tabletop experience. The game's graphics and sound are captivating, with impressive visuals and a beautiful soundtrack that includes tracks like "Down By The River." It's easy to lose yourself in the character customisation menu or be wowed by the cutscenes, creating an atmosphere akin to an interactive animated movie.

    Innovation shines through in the game's features, such as the use fall damage and environmental elements. The intelligent scaling of difficulty, where NPCs make smarter decisions at higher levels, adds depth and challenge without being overly frustrating. While some minor bugs were encountered, Larian's responsiveness to player feedback and commitment to swiftly addressing issues is commendable.

    Overall, Baldur's Gate 3 is a must-try game for players who enjoy CRPGs or RPGs as a genre. Its blend of faithful adaptation, innovative design, and attention to detail creates a rich and rewarding experience that's hard to fault. Whether you're exploring the vast world, engaging in strategic combat, or making choices that shape your unique story, this game offers something special for every RPG fan.    … Expand

    Dialogue options really change the world, and the endings. Your race, class, sub-class, and history heavily alter the choices you are given during gameplay. The difficulty is above average even on easy difficulty, but as it is possible to roll back the save, it doesn't have that much of a problem. Incredible story, good music, interesting characters. 10/10 for me.

    Amazing game! In a time where most games that come out are money sinking half-finished rubbish. Baldur’s Gate 3 shines with a complete game with hundreds, or more like thousands of hours of gameplay to enjoy. There are some bugs here and there still, but they are outweighed by the fun I’ve been having with this game.

    What Larian Studios was able to do with 6 years of development is absolutely astounding. This game is a polished masterpiece in my opinion. Thank you, Larian crew keep on being awesome!    … Expand

    They created a very polished game with a vast world. The graphics are great. The storytelling is great. The characters are alive and awesome. I am about 25 hours in and am loving it. It let's you do a lot of different things in different ways. If you're a bard, you can insult people during dialogue to hurt them. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a premium product from a game.

    BG3 is the best electronic rpg of all time, it makes Zelda look like an old car all torn apart and broken. The beauty of BG3 is sublime on all levels, the criticisms here are mostly untrue and without any sense of fanaticism as if the game or platform were religion. The only criticism I have about BG3, is that the camera system could have been improved on viewing angle and way of tracking.

    Realmente um dos jogos mais incríveis que ja vi, pois a preocupação com os detalhes, os diálogos, os diversos segredos que muitas vezes passam batido pelo jogador casual, as diversas formas de resolver as quests, realmente é cartilha que deveria ser seguida pela maioria das desenvolvedoras.

    One thing that would have made this game even better would be voice lines for the player's choices.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the options, and then they've already chosen an option before you could have your input.. Then you couldn't see the option they chose, it's caused a few arguments around how it should be selected and if the player talking should actually read out their choice before selecting.    … 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]

    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.
