    Game as good and innovating as original was. Truly masterpiece! It is GOTY for sure and by far. Clearly, a product of love and respect to originals.

    Basically a perfect version of what it's trying to be. Literally my only complaint so far is that some mini map quest markers display what quest they're for and others don't. They've done an incredible job of bringing D&D to life.

    Best crpg I ever played. The world and story reacts to your choices. Free choice in combat style and customization of your class. The very catching story that is tied into the lore of the forgotten world setting. The devs listen to feedback and try their best (and succeeded) to deliver a game that pleases the players

    I purchased this game in early access over 3 years ago and am blown away how much it's improved since the initial launch. Voting 10 to counter the neckbeards and trolls who've never played a turn based CRPG based on D&D rules before and were thinking this was a fast paced action game like they're used to.

    I have not been too much into D&D and it's world before, even though I like fantasy. Initially I also thought the turn based combat is a huge turn off, as I'm not a fan of that gameplay design either. However, watching videos of the early access combat and larians approach to a world building and reactivity within that world is something my heart longed for since the Fallout series. YouI have not been too much into D&D and it's world before, even though I like fantasy.

However, watching videos of the early access combat and larians approach to a world building and reactivity within that world is something my heart longed for since the Fallout series. You are rewarded for paying attention in both lore and the story itself, your choices carry an immense amount of importance to how the story proceeds. Additional voiced cutscenes with dialogue based on as smth as a little tiny note in a secluded hidden area? insane, there is filled to the brim with things you can miss and this is OK, even better to find something new on a new character! This game is packed with so much stuff and the replayability if you missed something or wanted to try a different approach to quests is insane. The combat is super fun, no fight is the same and scales nicely based on the diffculty, I've tried all of them with seperate playthrough I've started. The companions all have unique personalites and have great stories with all of them feeling like actual people with conviction and ideals. And still they are developing over time, making them do thing different then they would gives them a perspective and they change their ways quite drastically.

    There is so much more to say, but it all boils down to: This game is unique and we will not see in this decade. It opened a whole new world to me that me and my friends are excited to delve in to and Larian should be proud of this beautiful masterpiece they have created. Finally a studio that understands what people want; Because they are just creating a game THEY would want to play. Thank you so much, Larian.    … Expand

I sunk around 25 hours into the early access and decided, after completing it, I should wait to play more until the full release. I made my account just to rave about the game and how much fun I've been having since day one.

    Not only was I excited for the final release date to be set but Larian even pushed it forward almost an entire month!

    I have never been so enthralled by a game before.

    I have never been one to care too much about the fine details in lore and story, but this game is a completely different story. There is so much to learn about every character and the characters are tied together and it makes me want to exhaust their dialogue and explore how they interact with one another. The world is rich with story and developments and your actions DO matter and change how even side stories unfold.

    At this point in time I've put around 60-65 hours into the game and I only want more. There is something in every corner, there's a ton of class combinations to explore, and playing of tactician difficulty makes me really think and synergize my party together. I am playing a no-reload decision playthrough (I will obviously reload for deaths as I would have had to do the beginning at least 25 times by now) and I am loving it, every mistake, every decision, every action has meaning and I'm curious to see how it will end for me.

    This game is very thorough, the developers, Larian, are clearly people who love games and love D&D, and you don't need to know anything about D&D to play the game. Debuffs, Buffs, environmental effects, dice roll modifiers, etc. is all explained ad easy to digest.

    There's no microtransactions, no pay to win, no battle pass, etc. The game is a COMPLETE experience out of the box. Larian has truly outdone themselves, and proved that the real thing you need to make a good game is passion, dedication, and a willingness to listen. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in my playthrough and already excited to start my next as a multiclass something-or-other. Simply amazing.    … Expand

    I'm still in Act 1 after playing round about 30 hours and that game gave me more joy than everything I've played so far.. Not a single second I felt like I'd wanna take a break or something.

In a gaming landscape where some developers seem more focused on squeezing every penny from players, Baldur's Gate 3 is a breath of fresh air.

    Never before have I experienced a game that so seamlessly weaves together compelling storytelling, strategic gameplay, and a sense of genuine adventure. The choices I make genuinely matter, and the consequences of my actions ripple throughout the intricately crafted narrative. It's a testament to the developers' dedication that they've managed to create a game where my decisions feel like they have real weight and impact.

    Recent days have seen a trend of rushed releases and half-baked content, but Baldur's Gate 3 defies this norm. It's abundantly clear that the developers have poured their hearts and souls into this game, and the result is an experience that's nothing short of magical. The attention to detail in the world-building, the care put into character development, and the meaningful quests all showcase the love the developers have for their craft.

    Baldur's Gate 3 isn't just a game – it's an invitation to lose oneself in a world brimming with adventure, excitement, and endless possibilities. It's a testament to what can be achieved when developers put their passion into creating something truly remarkable.

    There's always multiple ways to solve different situations. Be creative and try crazy things. An approach which might seem like will end in a "Game Over" screen might end in a different road to continue with the story.

    If you like Fantasy books, films, board games... You'll like this.
    Take into account this is a turn based game, in case you don't like turn based games it might not be for you.
    The difficulty in Normal mode seems very well calculated, there is no auto-scaling for enemies and it can cause a situation where you have to avoid a combat and come back later with a level or two higher. Or.... solve the situation without fighting, which some times is a viable option.

    The 20+ hrs I spent in act 1 were amazing though so I expect it keep it up. I'm in a addiction and games that get me into addiction I rate a 10. Easy as that.

    The world is amazing, the characters and their stories are amazing, beautiful animations, goated narrative.
    And finally an AAA that is worth the cost and you don´t pay for a broken game You can clearly see why AAA devs were throwing trash at this game, they were scared of his success and his optimization. Best RPG in the history    Larian does it again. Another game, another masterpiece.

    Best game i’ve played in years. The story is amazing and all the different permutations makes me want me to play it multiple times to know al’ the possible outcomes. I wasn’t sure i’d like the turn base combat but was pleasantly surprised it’s super intricate and allows for so many different ways to approach each encounter!

    Larian really outdid themselves with Baldur's Gate 3, the amount of freedom you have is incredible. This game truly lets you think outside of the box and do so many rediculous things, it's so much fun. We need more studios to create masterpieces like this, the writing, gameplay, music, it's all so so good.

    Picked this up back in October of '20, and have never looked back since. Three years of picking over Act 1 in Early Access and we never once got bored or disinterested, every new patch was a reason to try another run through. The full release of the game is absolutely otherworldly - playing another game at the moment feels like a waste!

The full release of the game is absolutely otherworldly - playing another game at the moment feels like a waste! Never has a game managed to enthral and entertain me as much as this one has. The potential for replay-ability is crazy, player agency is almost limitless, and the diverse cast of characters extremely lovable and hate-able in their own rights. All the hype, praise, and attention BG3 is receiving is thoroughly and rightfully deserved.

Este jogo é uma obra prima e ele foi a minha primeira experiência com RPG, até então eu tinha preconceito com o estilo de jogo, espero vê-lo como GOTY porque merece muito!

    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.
