    It's probably my biggest surprise this year and easily one of the best games of 2023.

    As of this writing, probably the greatest CRPG ever made. Larian Studios worked hard to prove they can handle the Baldur's Gate IP, and now Wizard's of the Coast have the horrible task of following such a top act.

    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 !

    Huge fan of fantasy RPG's and Larian knocked it outta the park. I have played thru Act 1 in EA and now w/ 3 classes on full release and man, no playthrough is the same. Choices have so many unexpected consequences and the character development is phenom. Graphics are gorgeous running on Ultra on an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti

    The single best adaptation of a TTRPG into a video game. Storytelling is amazing, characters are amazing, depth is insane. I have not seen or had any two play throughs that were the same. Player freedom at the highest regard. Mods are the cherry on top.

    This is an absolute marvel to play, I have sunk hours and hours into this on PS5 already. If you buy it, be prepared to get drawn into a living world where other characters remember you, and your decisions. A world where almost everything, like the real world, has ramifications, if you pick up something that does not belong to you, expect trouble, if you help someone, they are more likely to help you (or maybe even betray you) you are essentially building your own story, I’m currently playing through using my own personal values in the decision making, I expect to die many times LOL.

    The other side of this of course, is zero micro transactions, you buy the game, it’s yours, no trickery, this is getting rarer IMHO and I really value that.

    Thank you Larian Studios, you have won a fan, I love this game and I love the way you treat gamers.

    ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

    In a month, I've managed to finish three full playthroughs of Baldur's Gate 3. This is now my favourite RPG of all time. It truly elevates the genre to new heights.

    Presentation is top-notch, with excellent voice acting across the board, beautifully motion-captured scenes, and wonderful music. In fact, there's one late-game boss that has my favourite boss theme of all time, which fits not only the character but the events leading up to it absolutely perfectly (if you know, you know).
    Every single member of the cast knocks it out of the park with their performances - even the minor NPCs with one line of dialogue. It's a joy to interact with them all. And the story is outstanding. There are so many minor interactions and special dialogue lines based on everything from the situation to your race to who's in your party to your class to even your subclass - I played a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer on my second playthrough and noticed dialogue related to my character's draconic ancestry. It's that complex!

    Combat is quite fast-paced for a turn-based game, and every hit, every spell effect, and every kill is super satisfying. It helps if you enjoy turn-based combat to begin with, but this is some of gaming's best. There's so many little interactions with the environment, like being able to shoot braziers down, push statues over, shove enemies into chasms (a personal favourite), and so on. You can even throw enemies at other enemies! Combat is always exciting and a lot of the encounters are very creative.

    The overall story is just phenomenal. No spoilers, but I found the best way to play is to really get into your character's shoes and properly role-play as them. The bad dice rolls really gave my first character (a bard) that extra level of incompetence as he tried to bungle his way through every encounter. The good dice rolls made my second character (a sorcerer) feel that little bit more intimidating and powerful. I'm not saying it's wrong to "save scum" (i.e; reload a save when you get a bad result on a skill check), but it was so much more fun for me to live with my mistakes.
    All of your companion characters are extremely well-written and all have great moments, ranging from hilarious to tragic. Romance is... abundant. The game's a bit too horny sometimes! But seriously, committing to one character and watching your romance blossom alongside their own personal story is a wonderful experience.

    Questing is excellent. There's so many outcomes, and so many variations of consequences, that no two playthroughs will ever be the same. And that's not hyberbole - as I said, I've done three playthroughs, and they've all been wildly different. The main story eventually leads to the same conclusion, but even that has a bunch of different choices and outcomes. There's a "big choice" at the end but all of the events leading up to it have an impact. It's not like Mass Effect 3's RGB ending by any stretch of the imagination.

    I'm going to echo a lot of player sentiment here, but Baldur's Gate 3 is what I wanted a Dragon Age: Origins sequel to be, in every way. It does everything that game did and then some, bringing that peak Bioware style to the modern age. Hats off to Larian for finally delivering what Bioware unfortunately couldn't. This is easily one of the greatest games ever made, and I hope it inspires more excellent RPGs in the future.

    The attention to detail in Baldur's Gate 3 is astounding. The level of immersion is unmatched. I found myself exploring every nook and cranny of the beautifully crafted world, uncovering secrets and engaging in epic battles.

    However, I must mention that while the game is a masterpiece in many ways, the third act felt somewhat less polished compared to the earlier parts. Some aspects could use refinement to match the overall high standard of the game.

Probably the best Voice Acted video game I have even played. You can play this game in so many different ways, gameplay and story-outcomes wise that it will probably take me years to squeeze everything out of this game.

    In short - this is it. This is it! If you love cRPGs/RPGs then this is pretty much the RPG of the last decade/15 years and one of best ever made. This game is no brainer to buy, it's so good I bought it two more times just to support Larian so they can make more in future.

    Privelage to be part of this experience.

    Finally I am currently in act 3, finishing the game and closing all the stories (70h), and that is why I have taken that long to make a review.

    BG3 creates a new standard for RPG. It's the first game i feel i manage completely my decisions. The amount of work from the devs in this game is insane and quite utopian. Divinity Original Sin saga was the perfect training to create this game.

    The storytelling, the characters, the music, the combat, the mechanics themselves, ... feels like a true D&D experience. Nothing to say about it that is bad or wrong, so 10/10.

    I just finished my first playthrough, and man was it a blast. This is my first Turn Based RPG that I've played, and I never though that I would like this kind of game. Looking forward to doing more playthroughs with different classes and origins in the party. Think it's time for some Dark Urge!

    Baldur's Gate 3 is not the same as the other 2 entries of the series. It has none of the Black Isle design or logic. This is a solid Larian studios that, using the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and the lore that has been developed for it for over 40 years, create a good, immersive game.

    Which leads to the negatives... There are areas and characters that have suffered even though there was a huge development cycle (looking at you Karlach!), with some side quest endings feeling rushed and not as good as one would have hoped. There are no bags of holding (HERESY!) and there are times where the engine stutters and you miss cinematic moves during a dialogue. And apparently everyone in the realms is thirsty and gender is a suggestion!

    All in all, a really good, solid Larian game. If you like CRPGs or RPGs in general you should at the very least try it.

    It is the best experience I had in games so far. Every time I launch the game, it gives me a lot of fun. Almost every session finishes with a story I want to tell my friends. Also, none of us had the same playthrough except for some little details. Also, I found there are so many things I missed in the first Act, so I'll definitely play again from the beginning.
    Best game purchase ever.

Para quem curte mais conhecer a história do jogo com uma facilidade boa, o modo "Explorador" te oferece essa experiência perfeitamente. E para quem curte um desafio maior, o modo "Estrategista" atende perfeitamente (desde que você jogue sincero sem usar "metagame"). E o modo "Balanceado" lhe oferece um equilíbrio perfeito, não fica tão fácil nem tão difícil. A trilha sonora do jogo está magnífica, desde as músicas, quanto aos efeitos sonoros e som ambiente. O jogo está lindo, os datalhes dos personagens não deixa nada a desejar, e a personalização do seu personagem é magnifica, traços raciais muito bem feitos e uma boa variedade de tudo para personalizar do seu jeitinho. Mas o melhor de tudo, é a personalidade de cada personagem do jogo, simplesmente estou apaixonado por personagens fictícios, meu coração está dividido entra a Umbralma e a Karlach. E de início não gostava muito da Lae'zel, mas com o andar da carroagem e de suas escolhas, você percebe que naquela mulher sapo rude e autoritária ainda tem uma mulher meiga e carinhosa do seu próprio jeito. Ainda não tive a oportunidade de conhecer a personalidade da Minthara, mas na próxima run com certeza deixarei ela viva para conhecer.

    Was kind of skeptical if this game was something for me, because I never played D&D or other Baldur's Gate

    Anyone who has actually gotten past Act 1 (approx. 36% of people) would know that Act 2 and 3 has some pretty bad bugs and balancing issues. A great game but its clear that it still needs some balancing patches. Act 1 is perfect (but thats after years of user feedback) but its clear that Act 2 and 3 should have been put in early access before full release.

    This is without a doubt the best RPG I have ever played. Just wow. Everything about it is just perfect. The story is really thrilling and grasps you. Every companion is super well written and has something interesting to them. Also the lack of bugs and the complete non existence of micro transactions makes this a unicorn in the current game market. This might just be my favorite game of all time.

    There's still potential for improvement which is crazy considering the groundbreaking game Larian Studios built here, please give me the farm epilogue Sven, I beg you.

    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.
