    I've always been a huge fan of Larian Studios. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 are at the top of the list for me, and Baldurs Gate 3 is no exception.
    Hopefully the "bots" giving this game a 0/10 get snuffed out; the game truly deserves a perfect score.

    Not since Dragon Age: Origins have I had this much run, recently finished playing through my first campaign and I can safely say I've never enjoyed a game this much before.
    Easily my new favourite game of all time, it's massively raised the bar other developers have been lowering for a decade now.

    A masterpiece. There are some things that are perhaps not as up to snuff as I'd like (camera handling mainly) but those are vastly outpaced by the rest of the game. Fun combat system, good graphics, beautiful storytelling in a world where the choices and decisions you make matter and change the rest of the world as you have come to know it.

    Just finished the game, and it was a fantastic journey. The choices I made had consequences, and things did not go the way I was hoping, it felt real. Fantastic storytelling, creative and engaging combat encounters that make you think outside the box, and the core game feels rewarding. The cherry on top being that there are no micro-transactions and the game feels complete. 10/10

    I have visited metacritic for nearly 2 decades, and never made an account or posted a review. This is the first time I have contributed a review score, due to Baldur's Gate 3.

    I was part of Early Access when it first launched and watched how it grew and improved over time. Larian Studios has built what can only be called a Masterpiece in this cRPG genre. If you are familiar with D&D 5e mechanics, this game will feel like home to you. Even if you haven't, you will learn it relatively quickly as it does all the math for you. You buy the game, start it up, make a character you think is cool.. pick some spells that sound fun and engage with a rich environment and hundreds of characters through visual/audio story driven dialogs and cutscenes.

    Everything is dynamic and responds to your decisions and how you talk to people. The combat with enemies is turn based, and while this might put some people off.. it's extremely refreshing to have the ability to take your time and think out your strategy and be tactical. Do you see a barrel that explodes? Pick it up (if you have the strength!) and hurl it across the map. Create explosions, push people off cliffs, and wind up powerful god-like spells to slay your adversaries.

    The whole game is an incredible story. It's masterfully created, and after doing 5 playthroughs, each one was different, and not by a few dialog options. Each one was different in entire story altering ways. To be honest, I don't know how Larian pulled it off.. because it just seems magical. And that's what you end up FEELING while you play.. the game feels magical, in a very magical Faerun.

    This is a very special game in this day and age. A fully released game, as polished as Larian could muster, with no shareholders or publishers driving profits as their only agenda. Larian is comprised of passionate artists and developers who wanted to tell a story, by handing over a keys to you, to tell it. There are no microtransactions, or paid anything. It's another reason, this game is special.

    It will no doubt, go down in history as not only, one of the best selling and played video games of all time, but be one of those games that is forever remembered. The journey you took, and how much fun you had while venturing in Faerun. And if you haven't already, you will one day look back and wonder WHY can't more games be like this.

    Well done Larian, you guys are a diamond in the rough. Thank you for sharing this wonderful game with all of us.    … Expand

    Being realistic, yes the game has some awkward animations during dialogs, but it's such a minimal thing that it doesn't matter, the music, story, environment, characters, combat, it's just too good. Also of course being a complete game without micro transactions is an instant 10/10 in my book.

    Arrisco a dizer que este jogo é tão épico quanto a The Witcher 3, meu único receio é que o estilo dele pode não agradar a todos. Sempre tive dificuldades em jogar games com combate por turno, pois torna o desenrolar do jogo muito lento, por outro lado requer mais estratégia para vencer. É questão de gosto pessoal, mas isso pode afastar alguns jogadores. Eu, particularmente, preferi jogar no nível mais baixo e focar mais na história/exploração.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can do anything, Kinda like Oblivion (just as an example) but way more impactful bc everything you do has consequences in the story. You might not find out you borked something hard for 10's of hours! I killed an evil character early on... but it turns out I was lied to, and now this character will never be able to join my party. I made a deal with an evil character - my party members hated me for it, but it gave me powers so I'd say it worked out.

    It is soooo well written and voice/mo-cap acted: I encountered someone, and nobody in the party thought anything was off... But I could tell something was up by the way their voice changed, just a little, when they were telling a story... so I killed em. Still not sure if that was the right move but I got good loot!

    The game looks unbelievable, and you DO NOT need a crazy PC to run maxed at 4k. Beyond 60 fps doesn't do anything for a game like this, and DLSS2 Quality, as usual, should just be used for its amazing anti-analising effects. The environments are insanely detailed; the character models have no business looking as good as they do -- they were all motion-captured: the body language and facial expressions do wonders for communicating.

    The dialogue is fire. It can be funny, edgy, incredibly sincere and heartfelt. The amount of details in the game is unreal: books, objects, secrets that you could easily walk by and NEVER experience. This makes if feel limitless in a way no game has ever felt before... And I've been around since MS DOS.

    I've played 25 hours so far and haven't even reached the goblin encampment yet -- there is no way I will be done this play-through in 100 hours. No shot. But I'm having the BEST time exploring everything. There's even stuff I simply couldn't figure out and had to walk away from (no Google!!).

    I am trying to not be hyperbolic... but we are incredibly lucky this game exists: I've never seen anything like it; I would bet my life we won't see anything like this again in the next 20 years.

    My main games are coop looter-shooters, and AAA story-driven games. This is not something I expected to like, but I look forward to playing it tonight, I look forward to playing it all fall and winter. Eventually I hope to play it with 2-3 friends!

    Did I mention it is literally Dungeons and Dragons world/rules?

    The game deserves all the praise, and not because it has 0 microtransactions. That's just a bonus. Buy it now and be part of something truly special.    … Expand

I played it first when it was freshly released into the beta. While it was good and had outstanding potential it was not yet ready to come out of the oven. I have returned now that it has finally released and wow. This game is outstandingly good. The story is rich and combat is addicting if you enjoy TBS games. and by rich story I mean to say that you can play through multiple times using different classes and taking different approaches, all resulting in a totally different story being told. Perhaps you saved an NPC who comes into play later and helps you. Perhaps you left them to die and you run into their allies who blame you for the death. Everything is so intertwined with the world that it provides an exceptional sense of immersion. That small act could snowball into something else which will impact future events. And the level ups, oh boy the level up. I was super turned off by the low level cap as it sounded terrible. Until I started leveling that is. You really feel each level up. No need go level 5 times only to get a small and ultimately minuscule boost and maybe one new skill in hopes of beating that boss. Each level up will grant a variety of boons and bonuses depending on your build. Talk to animals as a druid, bash in the skull of everything as a berserker, speak with the dead as a cleric, play the lute and perform over-dramatized dialogue options as a bard, the possibilities are limited only by your own imagination. You can pick up a goblin and beat another goblin to death with them. I mean do I really need to explain more? 10/10 would recommend.… 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.
