    This may be my favorite game of all time. So much story, beautiful graphics. Depending on the person I could understand its not their cup of tea, but how can there be any negative reviews for this masterpiece. Shame on you, negative reviews are for broken games and ones with ridiculous monetization.
    Basically one of the GOAT

    If you are reading this review to understand whether you should buy this game or not, then my advice will be very simple.

    Give this game a chance.

    It doesn't matter if you're familiar with the Dungeons & Dragons series, other Larian games, or previous games from the Baldur's Gate series. This game requires no preparation in order to start playing, although some understanding of D&D 5e will be very helpful.

    It doesn't matter if you like the turn-based cRPG genre in general. This genre is definitely not for everyone; BG3 requires a lot of time to be completed. You will probably replay for several hours a single huge fight, which in the reality of the in-game world would last a maximum of a minute, without being able to speed up the animations of characters.

    It doesn't matter if you want full control over your game experience or if you give control to the randomness of the dice. Most of the choices are YOURS in dialogue, and the world will respond to them. And if something did not go as you wanted, nothing stops you from "save scumming" (when you quick reload the game to get the desired outcome) the hell out of this game other than your own forgetfulness of pressing F5. On that note...

    It doesn't matter if you want or don't want that famous bear scene in your play-through. Want a scene with a bear? With a demon? With a vampire? With an alien? Just with a character of the opposite sex? With no one? The world is your oyster.

    That said, It must be pointed out that this game has some things that might be annoying for some players. Ally AI in battles might be too aggressive, so an NPC you want to live will rush forward, will be focused, and will die in a single round of combat, so you'll have to replay the whole battle even if it was the 9th and last one of long combat. The inventory is too old-school and requires a lot of management, especially if you want to swap group compositions from combat to combat. And bugs, which exist but are not regular and are actively fixed by developers.

    But still, these problems are not crucial and might be even better for this style of game, so I'll give this game 10.

    This is a game that has been created for many years by people who really love it.

    This is a game that does not try to suck money out of the player in any way possible.

    This is a game that might be the game of the year at least, or even of the decade, or of all times.

    Thank you, Larian. Praise the absolute!    … Expand

    A Love Letter to Baldur's Gate 3, Through the Lens of a Lifelong Gamer

    Ladies and gents, boys and girls, and all lovers of pixelated glory, gather round as I regale you with a tale of a video game experience that's unlike any other. You see, I’ve been basking in the electronic glow of video games since I was a wee lad of 6. Yep, back when pixels were as big as bricks and controllers were corded leashes that kept you within a 2-foot radius of the console.

    Fast forward to now, a ripe age of 40. That’s right, I’ve spent 34 illustrious years on this virtual journey, hopping from one digital world to the next. From the blocky landscapes of Pong to the sprawling realms of the latest RPGs, I've seen it all. But nothing, and I do mean nothing, has quite rocked my socks like "Baldur’s Gate 3."

    Let's put this into perspective. Over the years, I've saved princesses more times than I've actually gone on real dates (don't tell my wife). I've built empires, toppled alien invasions, and even made a digital duck jump over pixelated trucks. Yet, all of that pales in comparison to the epicness of Baldur's Gate 3.

    Why? Well, for starters, the characters! Oh, the characters! They're more layered than my mom's lasagna and that’s saying something. Conversations in the game are so riveting, I find myself questioning my social skills outside of it. “Why can’t I persuade the barista like I persuade a goblin chieftain?” I ask, as I sip my not-so-free extra shot latte.

    Then there’s the storyline. It’s like diving into a book where you don’t just read the words, but you live them. With every twist and turn, my heart rate oscillates like a roller coaster, and not just because of my age and questionable diet.

    Oh, and don’t get me started on the graphics. There were moments I had to pinch myself, and not just because I sat for hours and lost feeling in my leg. It’s the kind of visual delight that makes you wonder if you're playing a game or if you've been transported to an alternate reality. Maybe, just maybe, my years of gaming have finally granted me that special power!

    In short, Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just a game. It’s an experience. A tour de force in digital storytelling and a testament to how far we’ve come since those blocky pixels of yore. So here I am, a 40-year-old kid, standing on the virtual mountaintop, shouting, “THIS is the pinnacle of gaming!”

    Thank you, Larian Studios, for reminding me why I’ve been glued to the screen for 34 years and counting. Here's to many more hours of losing myself (and occasionally my legs) in the enchanting world you’ve created.    … Expand

This RPG is a SOLID, RICH, ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING experience that, one could say, establishes a "new standard" (you know it was coming). I find myself trying to explore every path with my good Druid, often chaging form to access new zones and... damn! should I have succeeded this perception check I would have found the button and not used a skill. And when you want to create a new character, choose different paths, know that the developers already know what you'll try during your second playthrough, perhaps even your third and sixteenth. Larian, I will remember this crypt and those armed skeletons, and I now know you knew I would disarm them the second time around. Baldur's Gate 3 is Larian's gift to us players who want and love a true RPG, turn based, with options beyond our dreams. I mean I converted one bad guy leader into a walking corpse, which ultimately led me to be attacked by an entire village of mushroom: how should I have known? Everytime I think of little me enjoying Divine Divinity, I can now add grown up enjoying BG3. I dream of BG3 and different paths and strategies, that's how I know this game good, real good. Thank you Larian, you've won my future support for everything you'll do. Time to continue my search of an Illithid cure.

    As a fellow game designer, I commend Larian Studios for how they have implemented DnD 5e mechanics. DnD combat can, at types, be prolonged and sluggish, but they've made the combat feel relatively fast and epic.

    I had already spent over 100h in Early Access, and it's a joy to see all the changes Larian have made in the final release (for the better).

    The game doesn't have BS microtransactions. Unfortunately people are review bombing and trolling on User Score despite what Larian is showing us, that IT IS possible to not milk the customer money.

    Amazing game. An actual 10 out of 10 for me. I played Divinity Original Sin 2, and despite the hype I couldn't really get into it, it wasn't bad at all though. Every thing about BG3 is an improvement as far as I'm concerned: The combat, the voice acting, the animations, the music, the companions, the story. I'm loving it.

    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.
