    Genuinely one of the first games I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Enthralling story and rewarding combat. I hope they continue to make games like this.

    for the people who are leaving negative comments saying it's a boring, bad, turn-based game. at this moment today August 13, 2023, at 11:26AM PST. The most concurrent players playing BG3 at the same time reached 815,373 all-time peaks. Your negative posters are just jealous cancers.

    Good job Larian making a fun game for the sake of escapism and fun. Thank you.

    Definitely the best game of the year so far, the amount of things to do is quite frankly insane I have spent 35 hours playing since release and have just started act 2 and if it continues as it is will likely be my favourite game in the last decade.

    I had high hopes for Baldur's Gate 3, given the legacy of its predecessors, but it ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed and frustrated. The game seemed to have all the right ingredients for a memorable RPG experience, but it fell short in several key areas that left me questioning the direction of the franchise.

    First and foremost, the game's technical issues were a major letdown.    I had high hopes for Baldur's Gate 3, given the legacy of its predecessors, but it ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed and frustrated. The game seemed to have all the right ingredients for a memorable RPG experience, but it fell short in several key areas that left me questioning the direction of the franchise.

    First and foremost, the game's technical issues were a major letdown. From constant crashes to buggy gameplay, it's clear that the developers rushed the release without proper quality assurance. It's incredibly frustrating to be immersed in the story only to be abruptly pulled out due to a game-breaking bug or a sudden crash to desktop.

    Speaking of the story, it lacked the depth and intrigue that fans of the series have come to expect. The characters felt one-dimensional, and their interactions often felt forced or unconvincing. The main plotline failed to capture the epic scale and intricate storytelling that made the earlier Baldur's Gate games so memorable. It's as if the writers missed the mark on what makes a captivating Dungeons & Dragons adventure.

    The combat system, touted as one of the game's strengths, left much to be desired. While it attempted to blend real-time and turn-based mechanics, it ended up feeling awkward and clunky. The AI of both allies and enemies was often baffling, leading to frustrating moments where victory or defeat seemed arbitrary rather than skill-based.

    Furthermore, the game's pacing felt off. It dragged in some places, and the world felt empty and lacking in meaningful exploration. I had hoped for a rich, vibrant world to get lost in, but instead, I found myself trudging through uninspired environments with little incentive to explore beyond the main quest.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a disappointing entry into a beloved franchise. It lacks the polish, depth, and charm that made the earlier games so special. Perhaps with future updates and patches, the game might improve, but as it stands, it's a missed opportunity to carry on the legacy of the Baldur's Gate series.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Baldur's Gate 3 has not only met the sky-high expectations set by its revered predecessors but has soared beyond them, redefining the RPG genre and delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. Larian Studios has masterfully combined their innovative storytelling prowess with cutting-edge technology to create a game that stands as a true testament to the evolution of role-playing games.

    From the moment you step into the lush and intricately designed world of Faerûn, it's evident that every detail has been meticulously crafted with love and dedication. The graphics are breathtaking, bringing the fantasy realm to life in ways that immerse you deeper into the story than ever before. Whether you're wandering through the bustling streets of Baldur's Gate or venturing into the treacherous dungeons beneath, every environment is a work of art, filled with hidden secrets and surprises that reward your curiosity.

    The character creation process is nothing short of phenomenal. The extensive customization options allow you to craft a protagonist that is uniquely yours, ensuring a personal connection that intensifies as you traverse the game's twists and turns. With each decision you make, the intricate web of consequences unfolds, echoing the series' rich tradition of meaningful choices. The writing is top-notch, filled with wit, charm, and emotional depth that breathe life into the diverse cast of characters you encounter.

    Combat is a thrilling blend of strategic depth and cinematic flair. The addition of dynamic environments and verticality adds a whole new layer of tactics, allowing you to exploit the terrain to gain an edge over your foes. The turn-based system is executed flawlessly, providing a perfect balance between accessibility and complexity. Every encounter feels like a carefully choreographed dance of spells and steel, rewarding both careful planning and quick thinking.

    But perhaps the true highlight of Baldur's Gate 3 lies in its co-op multiplayer mode. Joining forces with friends to navigate the challenges of the world elevates the experience to new heights. The ability to collaborate, make divergent choices, and witness the consequences together creates an unparalleled sense of camaraderie and shared adventure.

    Larian Studios' dedication to post-launch support and updates is commendable. Their commitment to listening to the community and refining the game based on player feedback ensures that Baldur's Gate 3 will only continue to improve and evolve over time.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolute triumph, a modern masterpiece that pays homage to its roots while boldly charting its own path. It's a game that captivates your imagination, challenges your intellect, and tugs at your heartstrings. Larian Studios has delivered an unforgettable experience that will undoubtedly be remembered as a shining gem in the RPG pantheon for years to come. If you're a fan of deep storytelling, strategic combat, and immersive worlds, Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolute must-play.    … Expand

I’m sure that in 20 years we will remember BG3 as good as we do remember the BG 1 & BG 2 now. A true love letter to any RPG and D&D fan, or even just a gamer that wanted a good product, worth it's money.

    Story & Gameplay

    I've always believed that the perfect game is a lot like a good book – captivating from the first line, filled with surprising twists, and unforgettable even long after you've put it down. And let me tell you, after spending a solid 80 hours immersed in its magical realms and narrative depths, Baldur’s Gate 3 has confidently claimed a spot on my list of all-time    Story & Gameplay

    I've always believed that the perfect game is a lot like a good book – captivating from the first line, filled with surprising twists, and unforgettable even long after you've put it down. And let me tell you, after spending a solid 80 hours immersed in its magical realms and narrative depths, Baldur’s Gate 3 has confidently claimed a spot on my list of all-time favourites.
    First things first, the world-building is spectacular. The environments, from the sunlit forests to the darkest caverns, are so intricately detailed that it's as if you're stepping into a living painting. There were moments when I would just stop, pan the camera around, and absorb the sheer beauty of it all. Every location feels alive and buzzing with its own energy, teeming with secrets waiting to be uncovered.

    And then there are the characters. Larian Studios has a knack for creating characters that are multi-dimensional and deeply relatable. Every member of my party, and even some of the NPCs, had backstories so rich and personalities so defined that they felt more like old friends than mere pixels on a screen. Their personal quests, witty banter, and even disagreements add layers to the story, making the experience immersive. Karlach is the absolute best golden retriever personality companion and Shadowheart and Lae'zel's quests are integrated so seamlessly into the overarching story.

    Speaking of the story, wow, just wow. Without venturing into spoiler territory, I can confidently say that the narrative is both grand in its scale and personal in its impact. I found myself deeply invested in the choices I made, weighing the consequences carefully, and occasionally being struck with genuine remorse or elation based on the outcomes. The branching narratives and multiple endings ensure that every player's journey feels unique and personal.

    Now, onto the gameplay mechanics. As a seasoned RPG player, I've seen my fair share of combat systems. Baldur’s Gate 3 brings a mix of classic tabletop mechanics with modern adaptions, resulting in battles that are both strategic and exhilarating. With a plethora of spells, abilities, and gear at your disposal, every encounter presents an opportunity to experiment and devise new strategies. I even saw Matt Mercer build a ladder out of boxes to get onto a roof.

    Sound Design

    The music and sound design of Baldur's Gate 3 are nothing short of mesmerizing. From the sweeping orchestral scores that imbue each scene with emotion, to the subtle ambiances of rustling leaves and distant chatter in a bustling city, every sonic element has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The compositions transport players, evoking feelings of awe, suspense, and nostalgia, effectively becoming an unspoken character in this epic narrative. It's not just a backdrop, but a lifeline, pulling you deeper into the world of Faerûn with every note and echo. Truly, a masterclass in auditory storytelling. Special shout out to a particular battle involving a certain devil whose voice actor actually joined in the background singing making it one of the most epic encounters I had.

    The voice acting in Baldur's Gate 3 is a testament to the dedication Larian Studios has put into creating a vivid and immersive world. Each character, from the central protagonists to the most fleeting of NPCs, is given depth and authenticity through performances that are both nuanced and compelling. The diverse cast captures the essence of the game's vast world, expertly conveying a range of emotions—from the fervor of battle cries to the subtleties of intimate dialogues. It's this caliber of voice acting that elevates the narrative, ensuring that players are not just observers, but deeply connected participants in the unfolding saga. Amelia Tyler teleports us into the game with her soothing voice as the narrator, while Neil Newbon's Frank-N-Furter-esque portrayal of Astarion makes everyone feel particular 'feelings'.

    Of course, no game is without its minor quirks and glitches. But to the game's credit, any bugs I encountered were quickly addressed by the dedicated and passionate development team. Their commitment to the community is commendable and is reflected in the quality and polish of the final product. All this from a game that released cheaper than most AAA games, with no money grabbing extras, or rushed development. The game is truly the love child of a studio that cares

    Conclusion

    In closing, Baldur’s Gate 3 is more than just a game; it's a narrative experience that challenges, surprises, and deeply resonates. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or a newcomer just dipping your toes into the world of Faerûn, there's something in this game for you. After 80 hours of gameplay and 30 in the early access, I can genuinely say that it's been a journey worth embarking upon and my game of the year.    … Expand

    Cierto es que el combate recuerda mucho a Divinity original sin 2, pero ¿no es acaso el juego que mejor a llevado el rol de mesa a un videojuego?

    Sumale todo el lore de D&D y una escena técnica como nunca vista en un RPG de turnos.

    The only weakness I can find is the lack of identity of the characters. I mean, I wish that instead of all the characters being pansexual, each character had their own sexual orientation.

    The big thing going here, and the attribute that might win this game, game of the year is storytelling and progression!. So many developers get this wrong over and over, and Larian does it soo dang well that jealousy is flying all over twitter!. The story and facial animations are uncharted 4 levels, if not better!. For a top down experience, gameplay and attributes are very in depth. Although this was my first top down, i really enjoyed what it had to offer.

It blowed my mind as I played dragon age origins for the first time as it's release. It was my first crpg and I never expirienced the amount of freedom in choosing between so many skills and builds. The story was amaizing and the companions were extremely well written. I also love pillars of eternity and pathfinder games and especially divinity original sin 2 (what is one of my favourites game of all time), but I always missed the intriguing cut scenes and the full voice over. Baldurs Gate 3 is the combination of the deep tactical combat and great world building of divinity original sin 2 with the great and immersive cut scenes and a extremly intriguing story of dragon age origins combined with a stupendous amount of content. But what blows my mind is the amount of detail in every single side mission, side character, little details in the world in regard to the amount of content. This game is so good that I made a metacritic account and wrote my first game critique only to praise this game. My hype was huge after divinity series and the great early acces but they managed to excel my expectations. I played a lot of games the last 25 years in my life but this is the goat with a wide margin for me. Well done larian, every single game from you in the future is an autobuy for me.

    Holy lord, I have spent many many hours of my life playing this game since its release, downloaded the minute it unlocked with my buddies. The journey has been absolutely phenomenal, the narrative superb, the roleplaying outstanding. Had many emotions throughout my first playthrough, laughs, rages (NPC Shoves), and even a few tears here and there. It was a great experience and I am so glad I survived till August 3rd to be able to play it, who knows what could've happened. That being said there is one glaring issue, and I mean glaring from a narrative and immersion as well as an overall fulfillment factor.

    No, I don't mean the bugs, or the poor optimization in Act 3 (even 2 sometimes), or even the fact that your companions want to get with you at a moments notice. These things can be fixed quite quickly and will most likely if I had to guess. No, the big issue is that ending.

    Oh my god man. I could look past all of the aforementioned Bs, who cares about it, I'd have even have given it a 10/10 but dude, that ending was pure heartbreak (not to mention buggy as hell, had to reload twice for the menial Shadowheart Romance ending). I don't want to sit here and explain every reason as to why it was bad, just know that whoever reads this you will eventually make it there and you will understand. Its really lame, ties up no loose ends for the most part, no character endings (and I mean truly none, other than what would be obvious like if Gale sacrificed himself, it isn't jack. Not to mention the plethora of plot holes and all of these characters met over the story who didn't get a lick of appreciation, Dame Aylin who??), incredibly rushed, and overall just a total downer on an otherwise, in my opinion, near perfect gaming experience.

    I hope, I hope hope hope, Larian Studios does what they did with Divinity 2 and release and enhanced edition to rectify this man. Like come on man, where is the big party?! Where is the send offs?! I don't even think I can restart knowing how it ends, all of that was for nothing. You could argue "What difference does some slides or a more drawn out ending make????" and if that's how you feel that's alright, but to someone like myself it was an utter disappointment and just overall sad. I can't stop reiterating it, it was so weak man.

    This is how a game of DnD should run on a pc. BG3 gives you tons of freedom. And of course it is slower than an action game like Diablo that calls itself rpg although it isn't one. It is a true adaptation of a ttrpg, a game you play with dice, character sheets and pen and paper at a table with your friends.

    Characters and storylines are well written. There are no microtransactions. Larian    This is how a game of DnD should run on a pc. BG3 gives you tons of freedom.

    Characters and storylines are well written. There are no microtransactions. Larian cares for the players and the rpg culture, it is not looking to grab your wallet and run.

    This game shows how full of dedication a game company can be and still be "on the good side". European developers show again that they can deliver culture instead of digital fast food.

    Graphics, sound, everything is state of the art.    … Expand

    My first CRPG ever. Never thought I'd be blown away by a genre I'd never touch before.
    I was afraid of combat gameplay but it turned out it is the first time in ages since a game makes me think thoroughly of any single move I have to make.
    The amount of possibilities, choices, storylines are just beyond amazing !
    Thank you Larian for introducing me to this type of game. So great!

    Huge amazing game filled with human interaction you can almost feel, congratulations to Larian for making a masterpiece like a modern day digital Michelangelo. Would be game of the century but that will probably be their next game or the one after that. Never stop pushing

    Baldur's Gate 3 can be rightly proclaimed as THE CRPG game of all time. What Larian Studios has achieved with this title is nothing short of extraordinary. With this release, they've not only upheld the legacy of a cherished franchise but have also ascended to a status reminiscent of GTA-tier game development.

What Larian Studios has achieved with this title is nothing short of extraordinary. With this release, they've not only upheld the legacy of a cherished franchise but have also ascended to a status reminiscent of GTA-tier game development. Such a pinnacle of achievement is not only commendable but also incredibly beneficial for the gaming industry, setting new standards and raising the bar for future RPGs.

    From the moment I delved into the sprawling world of Baldur's Gate 3, it became immediately clear that the gameplay experience is nothing short of perfect. There's an undeniable learning curve, as with many intricate RPGs, but once you surmount this initial phase, every mechanism, every detail of the game, seamlessly clicks into place.

    What truly stands out is the weight and significance of each decision you make. Every action taken, every response chosen, ripples through the world, making you feel deeply connected to the unfolding narrative. It's a testament to the game's design that nothing feels arbitrary. Each interaction, no matter how minor it may seem, carries consequences, fostering a sense of immersion that few titles achieve. Simply put, Baldur's Gate 3 never lets you down; it consistently meets and often exceeds the lofty expectations set by its predecessors.

    Furthermore, the technical and artistic accomplishments of Baldur's Gate 3 cannot be overstated. The voice acting is top-tier, breathing life and depth into each character, making every conversation a captivating encounter. This is complemented beautifully by the game's remarkable motion capture, ensuring that character movements and expressions feel natural, nuanced, and incredibly realistic.

    Graphical rendering is another area where the game excels. The environments are not just meticulously detailed but are rendered in a way that they seem almost palpable. Whether it's the flicker of torchlight in a dim dungeon or the rustle of leaves in a dense forest, the world around you doesn't just look real; it feels alive. The ambiance, coupled with the dynamic interactivity, creates a universe that beckons players to immerse themselves fully, to live and breathe within its bounds.

    In the realm of RPGs, it's a rare delight to find a game that harmoniously marries top-notch technical prowess with deeply engaging gameplay. Baldur's Gate 3 achieves this with aplomb.    … 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.
