    I've got 100+ hours in BG3, and this game truly harkens back to the days of Boiware's golden age. As a primarily CRPG fan, I am rejoicing. This is the kind of game that got me into computer games back in the '90s (yes, I'm old), and it saddened me when CRPGs became passe and more and more of my favorite studios moved to an action-oriented style of gaming.

    Also no microtransactions, no day-one DLCs, and no major game-breaking bugs. Nuff said—10/10 from me.

    What a great year for videogames! Larian showing AAA studios how it should be done. Pretty much flawless launch, with post launch patches coming out regularly. No microtransactions crap and a FULL game for a reasonable price, I've played 70 hours and I'm just finishing act 1.

    It improves DOS2 in every aspect, which was already a very good game. Support this amazing studio and buy this

    El mejor juego en su genero. La cantidad de posibilidades que tiene a la hora de avanzar es hasta mareante. En TODOS sus apartados es una obra de sobresaliente, y la cantidad de detalles y mimo te deja con la boca abierta.

    A true labor of love, where every angle is considered, every corner of the world lovingly crafted with its own story, and nothing ever feels recycled, half-hearted, or one-dimensional. Do not use this title as a bar to measure other CRPGs, or everything else will surely disappoint.

    Baldur's gate 3 is the ultimate experience for tabletop rpg, as it adds a good narrative, with exquisite combat mechanics and a level of control over the actions possible in a rpg game that allows players to use all their creativity to resolve various situations without drawing swords.

    - Brilliant and diverse music. Borislav Slavov and team have created one of the most epic, emotional and immersive soundtracks. Sound design – also impeccable.
    - Visually stunning. Character animations only contribute to the immersion.

    Only short of being perfect as a result of some bugs and quest glitches in the third act of the game, but given Larian’s past record, that is also likely to be addressed over the coming months.

    Here's the thing about Baldur's Gate 3 that to me, really stands out. It's so complete that it feels like a real D&D game, You can choose so many different ways to approach anything, that if you want to (like me) play the same parts of the games as different personalities you can see a different part of the game and world every time.

    This game is so good, I think it's going to take over the best RPG game of recent memory for me.

    While not an open world RPG, Baldur's Gate 3 has more freedom, more choices, and more paths to achieve goals than any cRPG I've ever played, and I've played most of them. At no point in the game was there any encounter or obstacle which didn't have many ways to resolve. The game rewards players for being creative and imaginative.

At no point in the game was there any encounter or obstacle which didn't have many ways to resolve. The game rewards players for being creative and imaginative.

    High production values, engaging turn-based combat, and passably decent writing combine with that to make this one of the, if not the, best cRPG ever released on PC.

    It is not, however, particularly innovative, despite all the accolades being heaped on it, and it sits most comfortable in the turn-based cRPG genre. So if either (or both) of those things don't appeal to you, don't let the hype trick you. You probably won't like the game.

    Me, personally, I love it.

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.

    This game has made me gasp, laugh and for the first time made me genuinely interested in NPC's that I play with. I personally was skeptical of the turned based combat mechanic but I got over that really fast. I think the combat is great but I had no idea what I was doing at first. Now I am having so much fun with the game. Thanks to the team who made this. Its great!

On a side note, it could be a little intimidating for someone who never played D&D like myself, but learning the game mechanics as you go is also part of the fun about it.

    Now, the game is by no means perfect as there are some issues I like to point out, the game do have some minor bugs here and there but nothing too ground breaking and hopefully fixed in future patches. There's also random FPS drops and crashes but it could be varies with different users experience so I would not go further into it. Another QoL that I hope they implement in the future is adding a pause button for the game.

    Otherwise the game is just perfect, with a tons of replayable value and every time you replay the game its a different exprience and you could never get tired of it. Fingers crossed that with the success Baldur's Gate 3 is having right now, it's a start of the revival of the CRPG genre and hopefully more developers out there realized that everyone still appreciate a great game that is fully furnished and not just DLC expansions, season pass and microtransaction.

    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. Overall if your like me who never thought they would like a gane like this but your a sucker for an amazing story and combat, definitely check out this game and just give it a try.

    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.

    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.
