    A near perfect game. I could nitpick a few QoL issues, but they're miniscule compared to the masterpiece that is Baldur's Gate 3

    Larian devs are exited to see players enjoy and experience this wonderful game,
    while others shut down games and sack whole dev studios because it did not meet their $$$ quota

    if they focused on the game instead of thinking up how to such more money off ppl

    The new gold standard of the industry considering role playing games. If you'd told me that we'll have anything other than Zelda:TotK this years GOTY title, i'd tought you've gone mad, then comes this game and now I can't imagine BG3 not winning it.

Because Baldur's Gate 3 has once again PROVEN that great games CAN be made WITHOUT microtransactions, WITHOUT massive day one patches, WITHOUT horrific glitches, bugs and being an unfinished mess. So other developers now have ZERO excuses not to match BG3 in terms of game quality, gameplay and polish. Larian studios is now the industry STANDARD on how to make a good game and has proven that it's NOT impossible to make a good game and STILL remain within the $60 price tag. They have PROVEN all the other studios to be LIARS that just want to do less work, with less effort, for more money. As far as I'm concerned Larian games has my UTMOST CONFINDENCE AND TRUST with games. From now on when Larian comes out with a game, i dont even NEED to ask if they worked hard on it, for me it's "shut up and take my money". I can't sing their praises enough on Baldur's Gate 3 and i hope the absolute BEST for them moving forward. And if BG3 wasn't enough, Swen Vincke went and turned down Microsoft on their offer to buy Larian games.

On to the actual game itself; incredible! Every choice matters, even the small, seemingly insignificant ones can alter the story in ways you wouldn't expect leading to a "What if I did this differently?" curiosity that makes replaying the game very satisfying. The combat (although I didn't enjoy it at first since I'm usually not a fan of turn based combat) is very engaging and thought provoking, encouraging you to use trial and error to figure out the best way to best enemies.

    And finally, the characters. Oh the characters are so amazingly written, each having a very in depth personal quest that you can affect in a multitude of ways depending on if you have romanced them, they like you or they despise you. Each companion feels important to the story, like they belong in the world and that their opinions and feelings matter to your own character. All in all, there are a million ways to handle every situation and that is what makes this game just so damn good. The developers should be damn proud of this and I couldn't recommend it enough!    … Expand

Larian has done it again, raising the bar so high for the genre while singlehandedly shifting CRPG mainstream, and that is no small feat. The game is right up there with the likes of KOTOR and the original BGs, and personally I think it may have even surpassed them all.

    The story so far has been captivating, the voice acting incredible, the writing amazingly written, the characters very interesting, and the gameplay second to none. The game also looks stunning.

    In the past I have played many RPGs that have branching plots, multiple paths to take and ways to deal with situations, but in BG3 everything just feels so natural and perfectly woven together. The amount of time and effort that went into developing this game is truly staggering.

    Larian is now my favorite studio alongside Rare. THIS is what gamers want in 2023. A lengthy but gamer focused development, a smooth launch with perfect technical performance, zero microtransaction **** and most importantly, a team of passionate people doing what they believe in.

Overall, if it wasn't for Larian themselves, I would likely give this game a 9/10, but just due to the sheer care put into the game as well as the consumer friendly decisions (no microtransactions, no DRM), they deserve the 10/10.

    As far as the game itself, it is a truly remarkable experience. I just finally beat the game after 141 hours played. Overall, it was just incredible. I have never played a D&D game because I always felt they would pale in comparison. This game reminded me how fun it is to play a character. I spent over 2 hours in character creation alone.

    From the absolutely incredible (perhaps some of the best even) voice acting I have ever heard, an environment that keeps you guessing what's next, and turn-based combat that had me on my toes trying to figure out what to do next at times, this game truly delivers in every way. I loved how it looked, I loved how it played, I loved the story it delivered. To me, the tale of a good RPG is one where you are considering your next character by the end of the first play through. I was considering my next character by the end of the first Act.

    There are some issues, to be clear. Act 3 can be quite buggy. i came across several bugs that at times I would need to reload earlier saves to resolve. But bugs can always be ironed out. A game needs a good core concept or it can never be fixed, and this game has it in droves. The only real criticism of the game itself is that I did feel as though the ending was missing just a bit more, though not nearly as much as some feel. I just feel like the end could have been slightly more fleshed out at certain points. Still, this did not hinder my enjoyment by much at all.

    I'll say this. There is a singular point in the game where you are fighting this individual who you've been having a mental dance with for some time. During this fight, the music because a duet between this person and someone else, and this person literally sings in the song, as you fight them. It is such an incredible and fun and just... unique moment. I cannot recommend this game enough.

    TL;DR - An incredibly beautiful game with dense storytelling, incredible amounts of player choice, combat that will test your mettle (or not if you just choose easier difficulty), and some of the best music and voice acting I have ever heard. If you are interested in a game that has more cutscenes that any game you have ever played and have an interest in turn-based combat, you should absolutely try this game.    … Expand

    Gigantic game with ton of choices. Very good writing and incredible voice acting. I loved Larian since Divinity Original Sin and glad to see their coronation from so many people.

    CRPGs are not dead ! And let that be a lesson to other to show that you can produce a finished game without day one DLC !

    Finally, a game that’s actually finished at launch

    You know a game is good when developers are complaining about it, and worried it may raise their expectations. This, and remnant from the ashes 2 has been a breath of fresh air with all the Diablo fours that have come out this year..

    Such a big game with so many hours of playing, so much content in one place. The graphics are stunning and I am in love with the music. The perfect way to put DnD in a videogame, I havent had this much fun in a long time, literally cant get my eyes off the screen. Absolute masterpiece.

    Es el mejor CRPG de la historia. Me recuerda a mis partidas de DnD pero claro, junto con los gráficos, la historia, todas las variantes que tiene. Es simplemente el mejor juego que se haya podido crear de este estilo.

    Never played a "real" RPG game before with DnD rules and all that. So I was not sure if I was going to enjoy the game but hey, let's try.

    I also made an account just to give this game a 10/10. The lack of scummy monetisation, the engaging story and characters, the fun mechanics and gameplay have all made me fall back in love with video games, after more than a decade of slowly declining interest. Awesome game.

    The most close to a DnD campaign ever made in a video game, absolutely crazy the number of ways to approach a situation and the freedoms that they offer you, where you think that the game will not allow it, as it turns out that it can be done, or that there is another way to reach, achieve or complete the mission beyond the confrontation or the dialogue, it is a magnificent game

    Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the best RPG game I've played, and I get so involved in this, since the very first time I've roll my dices, that I've have already surpassed 100 hours of gameplay.

I did not expect to be a fan of the turn-based "top-down" combat style but I've become addicted to it. The ONE thing that should be considered as a bias is that I play this game with a group. I cannot say if this game would be as fun alone unless I was a hardcore fan of the combat, which I might be by the end of our run. I have clocked 20 hours into the game and haven't even completed Act 1, and I have heard that act two and three are both longer than act one. I am extremely excited to continue playing Baldurs Gate 3 and hope that Larian are able to take home GOTY with this modern sleeper hit.… 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.
