    Easily one of the best games of the decade. Story is fantastic, mechanics are fun and easy to use, voice acting is phenomenal. Huge replayability as there are always multiple ways to handle each problem or scenario.

    Game of the decade! I waited so long for THIS! Thank you very much Larian!

    I like sound in this game, details, graphic, quests, characters. I bought BG3 for me, my sister and friend.

    The best rpg in the decade, but for me, at all. A lot of times it reminds me my youth when we played dice and paper rpgs. A lot. The graphics, the animation in the cutscenes and the voice acting is amazing.

    Captivating Fantasy Adventure - My Impressions of Baldur's Gate 3

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe.

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe. I wish to share my impressions, while avoiding any spoilers.

    One of the game's greatest strengths is its stunning visual presentation. Environmental details, character models, and visual effects create an impressive and immersive world. Each area we traverse reflects the characteristics of the region, adding depth to the gameplay and allowing us to immerse ourselves in the presented story.

    The story of Baldur's Gate 3 is filled with intrigue and surprises. The developers have crafted a complex web of character relationships, giving weight to our choices with real consequences. As we delve deeper into the game's world, we uncover mysteries that become increasingly captivating with each step. It truly takes one's breath away to realize the multitude of narrative branches that can be explored.

    The combat system is also captivating. The combination of turn-based and real-time elements allows for a strategic approach to battles. Combat isn't solely about strength, but also agility and tactical thinking. The ability to interact with the environment, utilize terrain, and the diversity of character skills create dynamic and thrilling encounters.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game in its early access version might have some imperfections. I encountered a few bugs and unfinished elements that could occasionally affect the smoothness of gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers are continuously working on enhancing the game, and the full version is likely to bring many improvements.

    To sum it up, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that draws players into its world from the very beginning. A captivating storyline, breathtaking visual design, and an innovative combat system combine to create an unforgettable adventure for RPG and fantasy enthusiasts. Despite some imperfections, giving this game a chance is well worth it, as it offers a wealth of experiences to be enjoyed.

I re-rolled the ending many times,and it‘s still no romantic dialogue!!!! I really feel heartbroken, it just feels like he left me in the end. I didn't even know if this is a bug.

Like the originals, the game immerses you in the world of Faerun in ways that I appreciate as both a fan of CRPGs and tabletop.

The writing, characters, and choices you make haven't been this thrilling in ages. Could do with better inventory management though. All in all, a fantastic game made by people who clearly care.

The amount of dialog options, story paths, encounters, and events in this game is absolutely astounding. Even compared to the Bioware and Black Isle games. The 5th ed. D&D system lends itself perfectly to these types of games with loads of actions and spells available depending on your class and level. The story is as compelling as I've seen in any video game regardless of platform or genre. I find myself being constantly blown away by the twists and turns along the way.
    Technically speaking, it's also a gorgeous looking game and runs very well on my mid-tier system and still looks great with many of the bells and whistles turned down/off.
    The character models are ridiculously detailed and convey a more than adequate amount of emotion. Especially compared to some other games in this genre. Spell effects are A+. The voice acting and sound are top tier as well. TL:DR This is far and away the game of the year. even if you're not the biggest fan of this genre is probably worth a try for the story alone.    … Expand

On top of that it has great music clearly inspired from divinity 2, amazing combat and impactful story choices. Highly recommend for all fantasy fans!    … Expand

    Blizzard stop sending your employees to vote down this game. 9000 failed to make a good game in 5 years, I doubt they are competent enough to find the 0 button. And to all the "this is a slow combat game" ... you are stupid. I loved BG1+2, but missing turn based was a weakness of BG1+2 and a strength in games like Pathfinder after they introduced it. It's DnD, not your daily kiddy clicker game.

The combat mechanics, as well as the roleplay mechanics, are intricate, but somehow also easy to learn as you level up. The characters are flawed and likeable, while the puzzles leave you with a satisfaction that other games lack.

    Larian’s magnum opus. Immersive, rich and lovingly made with addictive gameplay. It feels like playing a game, reading a novel and watching a movie in perfect balance. Perfect entertainment, with some technical imperfections (which must be forgiven in a game of such dramatic scope and depth).

    Baldur's Gate 3 is so good that its making my partner mad on how I spent most of my time with this game (jokingly). Baldur's gate 3 has been one of the the rare games that eat me away with its impressiveness and complexity of its story, system and combat. Its graphics is not that state of the art when it comes to graphical fidelity but it can still be a looker with its different location. Baldur's gate 3 will drag you with its story and the characters you meet, with their story really captivating both in companions and other quest that you will encounter.

    But, it has its problem. Baldur's gate 3 is not a perfect game. Baldur's gate 3 suffer from the mass effect writing when it comes to romance. Characters would fall for you in a fast paced setting that will shock you on how everyone is very into you. But, expanding on those romances can blossom into something that is very interesting and engaging (They just had a bad starting point). One of the problem of Baldur's gate 3 problem is the camera angles and control. Sometimes, camera would get stuck on environment where its a struggle to fix to the point of awkwardness of its control.

    Overall, even with those problem this game is I consider this game as a contender to the game of the year spot, with its long hours campaign that is strangely not over stretch that has quantity and quality built into them and compelling characters with intriguing background. The gameplay is rough and hard but satisfying nonetheless. Overlooking the graphic fidelity, it is still a good looking game that has a quality of a triple A game that can serve as a blueprint on how to nail a perfect RPG. This game is a 9.9 for me but 10 would be a good score overlooking the problem that it has. Larian studios deserve the praises that they get with a banger like this one.    … Expand

Very beautiful graphics and satisfying gameplay. In addition, many possibilities and decision-making and approaches to given situations. This is definitely a game that has a chance to be the game of the year!!

El nivel de como se desarrollan las historias de todos los personajes y como se entremezclan unas con otras, es de un trabajo demencial y con lo que Larian ha dejado en evidencia a la industria del videojuego.

    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.
