    Um game que eu estava com um espectativa baixa, e me surpreendeu tanto. Cada hora jogada é uma surpresa diferente, sem falar na mecânica que não tinha como ser diferente, pra quem ainda tem preconceito com jogos por turno, esse é diferente, tem uma pegada única e muito dinâmica. Estou com 50h jogadas e infelizmente não tenho tanto tempo por dia pra jogar. Parabéns Larian.

    I love this game. Feels as close to IRL 5e that, in my opinion, a videogame can. Throughout the gameplay finding things that you usually can't do, even in other games similar to this. Earlier today, I threw a goblin off of a scaffolding, into his buddy, and got them both. Very, very satisfying.

    Me senti jogando uma mesa de D&D! O jogo é imersivo e divertido sem falar em todas as possibilidades que podem ser feitas com cada classe. Roubar, matar, se aliar a um e inimigo e depois trai-lo ou ser um a gente do caos e não se aliar a ninguém, enfim são muitas as possibilidades.

    This is how games should be, no pre launch DLC No micro-transactions, high mod support and feedback is actuallly listened to. Biggest flex for any CRPG ever released, I highly reccomend you check this out even if turn based rpg's are normally not your thing, the writing the story the characters and all the options make it more then worth to check it out!

    I think the strength of this game really lies in the replayability because of the sheer amount of choice you have. Dialogue choices, Class, Race, Combat all of them have important and impactful decisions that will likely make you want to play this game again down the road. Solo or with friends, this game is just a fantastic experience all the way through.

    Larian really raised the bar with this release and takes the genre to an entirely new level.    … Expand

I played it first when it was freshly released into the beta. While it was good and had outstanding potential it was not yet ready to come out of the oven. I have returned now that it has finally released and wow. This game is outstandingly good. The story is rich and combat is addicting if you enjoy TBS games. and by rich story I mean to say that you can play through multiple times using different classes and taking different approaches, all resulting in a totally different story being told. Perhaps you saved an NPC who comes into play later and helps you. Perhaps you left them to die and you run into their allies who blame you for the death. Everything is so intertwined with the world that it provides an exceptional sense of immersion. That small act could snowball into something else which will impact future events. And the level ups, oh boy the level up. I was super turned off by the low level cap as it sounded terrible. Until I started leveling that is. You really feel each level up. No need go level 5 times only to get a small and ultimately minuscule boost and maybe one new skill in hopes of beating that boss. Each level up will grant a variety of boons and bonuses depending on your build. Talk to animals as a druid, bash in the skull of everything as a berserker, speak with the dead as a cleric, play the lute and perform over-dramatized dialogue options as a bard, the possibilities are limited only by your own imagination. You can pick up a goblin and beat another goblin to death with them. I mean do I really need to explain more? 10/10 would recommend.… Expand

    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!

    Never in my life I played a game so immersive as as BG3.
    I am inside this story, it feels amazing, I feel invested, involved.
    The combat is just glorious, the dialogues, the characters. Always something different to do.
    How often a game makes you "feel" so much?
    This is not a game, it is an experience.

    Arrisco a dizer que este jogo é tão épico quanto a The Witcher 3, meu único receio é que o estilo dele pode não agradar a todos. Sempre tive dificuldades em jogar games com combate por turno, pois torna o desenrolar do jogo muito lento, por outro lado requer mais estratégia para vencer. É questão de gosto pessoal, mas isso pode afastar alguns jogadores. Eu, particularmente, preferi jogar no nível mais baixo e focar mais na história/exploração. De qualquer forma, vale a diversão de cada um e Baldur's Gate 3 sem dúvidas é um jogaço.    … Expand

    Incredible accomplishment. Both visually and story-wise. There's music for every action, every story beat. Each character, from the most random NPC or animal, to one of the main cast of characters, each have lovingly written lines and expertly performed voice performances.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can do anything, Kinda like Oblivion (just as an example) but way more impactful bc everything you do has consequences in the story. You might not find out you borked something hard for 10's of hours! I killed an evil character early on... but it turns out I was lied to, and now this character will never be able to join my party. I made a deal with an evil character - my party members hated me for it, but it gave me powers so I'd say it worked out.

    It is soooo well written and voice/mo-cap acted: I encountered someone, and nobody in the party thought anything was off... But I could tell something was up by the way their voice changed, just a little, when they were telling a story... so I killed em. Still not sure if that was the right move but I got good loot!

    The game looks unbelievable, and you DO NOT need a crazy PC to run maxed at 4k. Beyond 60 fps doesn't do anything for a game like this, and DLSS2 Quality, as usual, should just be used for its amazing anti-analising effects. The environments are insanely detailed; the character models have no business looking as good as they do -- they were all motion-captured: the body language and facial expressions do wonders for communicating.

    The dialogue is fire. It can be funny, edgy, incredibly sincere and heartfelt. The amount of details in the game is unreal: books, objects, secrets that you could easily walk by and NEVER experience. This makes if feel limitless in a way no game has ever felt before... And I've been around since MS DOS.

    I've played 25 hours so far and haven't even reached the goblin encampment yet -- there is no way I will be done this play-through in 100 hours. No shot. But I'm having the BEST time exploring everything. There's even stuff I simply couldn't figure out and had to walk away from (no Google!!).

    I am trying to not be hyperbolic... but we are incredibly lucky this game exists: I've never seen anything like it; I would bet my life we won't see anything like this again in the next 20 years.

    My main games are coop looter-shooters, and AAA story-driven games. This is not something I expected to like, but I look forward to playing it tonight, I look forward to playing it all fall and winter. Eventually I hope to play it with 2-3 friends!

    Did I mention it is literally Dungeons and Dragons world/rules?

    The game deserves all the praise, and not because it has 0 microtransactions. That's just a bonus. Buy it now and be part of something truly special.    … Expand

    One of the best RPGs I have played in years. The choices and re-play-ability is off the charts. Real Choices that matter. The builds one can build with the class/multiclass systems, the story twists and turns as every play-through is a unique experience. Backgrounds matter. Race matters. Class matters. ALL choices matter! A new gold standard in RPGs. GOTY!

    2) Taking the declarations of some developers, the game industry has become lazy and they don´t even care to speak out loud about their only purpose they have: take as much money as they can because "making games is expensive" and the "over deliver" makes the look bad... funny way to say "if some one do a good job, and charge fairly for that, the people is going to expect the same for us"...

    So, Absolutely yes, this game is perfect. IT IS ART... I´m not that much into the CRPG, and I have not play BG I or II before, but the level of detail, the amount of content, the in-game mechanics, made me want to complete a full game once again... something that did not happen years ago, because I´d stop enjoy it, and just aquired t the games to have them on the shelve "for later"... Thank you Larian fore this masterpiece, for bringing me back the love for playing video-games... and for the other studios: Yes, you lazy and greedy people, THIS should be the new standar of the industry... gamers money deserve respect and a quality product, for the money they are paying you.

    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.
