    A very beautiful game and an a pretty nice story (might not fill the void of BG2, tho), Worth playing. However, it feels kind of short in terms of soundtrack and the turn based system might not feel that "appealing" to some audiences, which was my case.
    Very enjoyable and hoping it gets more content in the future!

    The character stories/arcs are engaging and interesting. There is depth to the decisions they make, what they react to, and a variety of personality types. There are sad moments, humorous scenes and moral grey areas that are genuinely difficult to decide.

    As a fellow game designer, I commend Larian Studios for how they have implemented DnD 5e mechanics. DnD combat can, at types, be prolonged and sluggish, but they've made the combat feel relatively fast and epic.

    I had already spent over 100h in Early Access, and it's a joy to see all the changes Larian have made in the final release (for the better).

    More game design companies should look at Larian Studios as a blueprint for creating a well-rounded game. This game has been made with passion.    … Expand

This RPG is a SOLID, RICH, ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING experience that, one could say, establishes a "new standard" (you know it was coming). I find myself trying to explore every path with my good Druid, often chaging form to access new zones and... damn! should I have succeeded this perception check I would have found the button and not used a skill. And when you want to create a new character, choose different paths, know that the developers already know what you'll try during your second playthrough, perhaps even your third and sixteenth. Larian, I will remember this crypt and those armed skeletons, and I now know you knew I would disarm them the second time around. Baldur's Gate 3 is Larian's gift to us players who want and love a true RPG, turn based, with options beyond our dreams. I mean I converted one bad guy leader into a walking corpse, which ultimately led me to be attacked by an entire village of mushroom: how should I have known? Everytime I think of little me enjoying Divine Divinity, I can now add grown up enjoying BG3. I dream of BG3 and different paths and strategies, that's how I know this game good, real good.

    If you're a fan of BG and are expecting more of the same from BG III, you might be disappointed or delighted, depending on your preferences, but know that it's quite different from the previous two games in the main BG series.
    The combat in particular, as it's turn-based rather than real-time, and while it has rules from Dungeons & Dragons, it's very similar to Divinity: Original Sin.
    If you're a fan of D:OS, you might like what's in the game, but it does have different systems for combat.

    All in all, it's a decent but flawed game that still needs polish.

    Review:
    I played it during early access, and I'm sort of disappointed with the state of the full game.
    There are some quality improvements in some areas, including features that were requested like better sorting, stack splitting, and such, but even considering those, the issues the game still has are still enough to weigh it down.

    Customization:
    The appearance customization is a big improvement over D:OS II, and some options have been added that weren't in early access, but overall, it seems too limited for a game where you see your character's face so often.
    It's definitely not as in-depth for face customization as Bethesda's games, despite seeing your character more often in BG III than you might in a game such as The Elder Scrolls (where you hardly ever see your character's face).
    Rather than choosing the features of your face, such as nose, eyes, etc., you're restricted to choosing from a selection of faces, with customization mostly being colors (e.g. eyes, hair) and add-ons (e.g. eye makeup, tattoos, piercings).
    The piercings are a bit lacking, as even if you find ones that you like, they'll come with others that you can't remove.
    For example, you won't be able to choose between an earring and an ear piercing elsewhere, nor can you choose only one earring.

    The ability customization is pretty good, but as it's based on D&D, it's quite limiting.
    Unlike some other role-playing games, you'll be locked out of certain features, rather than being able to do most things.
    For example, the Wizard can learn spells from scrolls, but other classes cannot, and while some races have an ability giving better vision in dark areas, others don't.
    Class-wise however, there is multiclass, allowing for choosing an extra class later (albeit, only on Balanced/Normal and Tactician/Hard difficulties, and not on the Explorer/Easy difficulty), and so, it isn't much of an issue as a result.

    Story:
    The pacing is strange in some places, and some content seems to have been removed that early access had.
    For example, the tutorial area has been streamlined, and certain character customization options are no longer.

    Characters are hit-or-miss in personality, but it's good to have some oddballs to change up the pace.
    That said, character dialogue seems a bit odd at times, as characters can have out-of-place reactions for their personalities and circumstances.

    Dialogue is okay at times, and feels a bit limited at others.
    There are times when you might want your character to say something but must choose what the developers want characters to say.
    There are also times when your character will make comments on things.
    It's good to keep things lively, but it can be out-of-place for a character and be pretty bad for role-playing.

    Audio and graphics:
    The music, voices and sounds are well-done for the most.
    Graphics are pleasant enough, though there are bugs where things start stretching and such sporadically.

    Combat:
    On the Balanced/Normal difficulty, I found the combat to be quite difficult, and a bit inconsistent.
    During my first start of the game, the three enemies after the prologue caused a lot of damage to my characters, but on my second start with a different character, they were no issue.

    Difficulty aside, the interface is quite unintuitive using controllers, and still a bit clunky using keyboard/mouse.
    Also, the interface varies greatly between controller and keyboard/mouse, with the interface being very minimalist for controllers.

    Exploration:
    Movement is very sluggish, and interacting with objects is quite the task.
    Because of how object interaction is tied to movement, there will be many times where objects that would be easily able to be gotten in real life will be impossible to grab normally in the game. Characters will sometimes run around a table to grab an object they could've grabbed from the side they were on, even though they grabbed another object from that same side. The camera is also lacking in its zoom options. Modding: As of this review's writing, there is still no official modding support. There are likely going to be tools like there were for D:OS I&II, but for now, it's not bad as modders have made quite a few quality mods to improve aspects of the game.    … Expand

    One of the best games i have ever played. The attention on detail is incredible and the story for far is really good.Companions are complex, maps are really large and with many hidden stuff and quests.
    Game of the year for me.As the story progressing the atmosphere is getting a lot more creepy and dark!

    Playing this game feels like being part of a fantasy TV series.

    I love the way the story unfolds, the choices are relevant to the player experience and overall the game is so immersive that often I can't even tell how much time I spent on side activities.

    A brilliant RPG experience!

    If you are reading this review to understand whether you should buy this game or not, then my advice will be very simple.

    Give this game a chance.

    It doesn't matter if you're familiar with the Dungeons & Dragons series, other Larian games, or previous games from the Baldur's Gate series. This game requires no preparation in order to start playing, although some understanding of D&D 5e will be very helpful.

    It doesn't matter if you like the turn-based cRPG genre in general. This genre is definitely not for everyone; BG3 requires a lot of time to be completed. You will probably replay for several hours a single huge fight, which in the reality of the in-game world would last a maximum of a minute, without being able to speed up the animations of characters.

    It doesn't matter if you want full control over your game experience or if you give control to the randomness of the dice. Most of the choices are YOURS in dialogue, and the world will respond to them. And if something did not go as you wanted, nothing stops you from "save scumming" (when you quick reload the game to get the desired outcome) the hell out of this game other than your own forgetfulness of pressing F5. On that note...

    It doesn't matter if you want or don't want that famous bear scene in your play-through. Want a scene with a bear? With a demon? With a vampire? With an alien? Just with a character of the opposite sex? With no one? The world is your oyster.

    That said, It must be pointed out that this game has some things that might be annoying for some players. Ally AI in battles might be too aggressive, so an NPC you want to live will rush forward, will be focused, and will die in a single round of combat, so you'll have to replay the whole battle even if it was the 9th and last one of long combat. The inventory is too old-school and requires a lot of management, especially if you want to swap group compositions from combat to combat. And bugs, which exist but are not regular and are actively fixed by developers.

    But still, these problems are not crucial and might be even better for this style of game, so I'll give this game 10.

    This is a game that has been created for many years by people who really love it.

    This is a game that does not try to suck money out of the player in any way possible.

    This is a game that might be the game of the year at least, or even of the decade, or of all times.

    Thank you, Larian. Praise the absolute!    … Expand

    A Love Letter to Baldur's Gate 3, Through the Lens of a Lifelong Gamer

    Ladies and gents, boys and girls, and all lovers of pixelated glory, gather round as I regale you with a tale of a video game experience that's unlike any other. You see, I’ve been basking in the electronic glow of video games since I was a wee lad of 6. Yep, back when pixels were as big as bricks and controllers were corded leashes that kept you within a 2-foot radius of the console.

    Fast forward to now, a ripe age of 40. That’s right, I’ve spent 34 illustrious years on this virtual journey, hopping from one digital world to the next. From the blocky landscapes of Pong to the sprawling realms of the latest RPGs, I've seen it all. But nothing, and I do mean nothing, has quite rocked my socks like "Baldur’s Gate 3."

    Let's put this into perspective. Over the years, I've saved princesses more times than I've actually gone on real dates (don't tell my wife). I've built empires, toppled alien invasions, and even made a digital duck jump over pixelated trucks. Yet, all of that pales in comparison to the epicness of Baldur's Gate 3.

    Why? Well, for starters, the characters! Oh, the characters! They're more layered than my mom's lasagna and that’s saying something. Conversations in the game are so riveting, I find myself questioning my social skills outside of it. “Why can’t I persuade the barista like I persuade a goblin chieftain?” I ask, as I sip my not-so-free extra shot latte.

    Then there’s the storyline. It’s like diving into a book where you don’t just read the words, but you live them. With every twist and turn, my heart rate oscillates like a roller coaster, and not just because of my age and questionable diet.

    Oh, and don’t get me started on the graphics. There were moments I had to pinch myself, and not just because I sat for hours and lost feeling in my leg. It’s the kind of visual delight that makes you wonder if you're playing a game or if you've been transported to an alternate reality. Maybe, just maybe, my years of gaming have finally granted me that special power!

    In short, Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just a game. It’s an experience. A tour de force in digital storytelling and a testament to how far we’ve come since those blocky pixels of yore. So here I am, a 40-year-old kid, standing on the virtual mountaintop, shouting, “THIS is the pinnacle of gaming!”

    Thank you, Larian Studios, for reminding me why I’ve been glued to the screen for 34 years and counting. Here's to many more hours of losing myself (and occasionally my legs) in the enchanting world you’ve created.    … Expand

    - AAA budget indie funding
    - Passionate developers
    - Talented developers
    - Experienced developers
    - Honest developers
    - Beloved IP

    Normally no more than 2 of the above come together, especially with how normal it has become for developers to sell their souls to cunning businessmen with no interest in games or people.

    The CRITICISM:

    I see a lot of criticism that it's just "DOS3" and not BG3.

    I grew up with BG1 and BG2 and really liked them, but the combat always bothered me. These games were made to be a DnD experience on the PC but the combat in DnD is turn-based, while the combat in BG1 and BG2 is an awkward blend of real-time and pausing.
    BG3 does DnD more justice in terms of combat.

    Likewise I can see the DOS2 DNA in BG3, but it is still a DnD game through and through that centers around the DnD city of Baldur's Gate, feeling a lot more matured and true to both previous BG games as well as DnD.    … Expand

    Going into act 3 the game was a rock solid 10/10 for me, but after finishing the game I have to amend that to a 9/10. Act 3 is noticeably lacking in polish, I had multiple quests bug out, some of which I couldn't complete at all and others that were ruined as a result.

    Going into act 3 the game was a rock solid 10/10 for me, but after finishing the game I have to amend that to a 9/10. Act 3 is noticeably lacking in polish, I had multiple quests bug out, some of which I couldn't complete at all and others that were ruined as a result. And the performance is really bad, with an RTX 3080 and 13700K I lost about 50fps going from acts 1 & 2 to 3, which made for a choppy experience. And while there were some great quests, the act starts off so slowly, I spent hours just exploring which was made less enjoyable because of the aforementioned performance issues. The start of act 3 is the first time I've felt bored playing the game.

    The length of some fights is another sore spot for me, especially when you add CC into the mix, waiting two minutes for your turn only to get stunned thus skipping it just feels awful, this really became a problem in act 3 with so many enemies on screen at once, the combat became a chore that I had to do in order to get more story content, which was incredible. This was made even worse due to certain friendly NPCs bugging out and not moving/attacking, which caused the game to pause whenever it was their turn (I had this happen on the final fight and others). I think a lot of little things had just started to really grate on me by this point, especially things like the dodgy camera movement and fighting in buildings which was so cumbersome. And I can't count the amount of times the camera bugged during dialog so I ended up looking at a door or wall instead of the character.

    I know I'm being a bit negative but overall it's still an incredible game, with the best story and voice acting that I've ever experienced. I rarely get so invested into characters, but the character development was so so good. And the attention to detail was top class, everything in the game world felt connected, sometimes in unbelievable ways. My friends and I are planning to start a MP campaign now that we've all finished it, which should be fun, but I do hope that Larian can work on fixing some of the issues I mentioned before we make it back to act 3.    … 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.
