    The game itself is an easy 8 or 9/10.

    It is a 10/10 product for the entirety of the process and ethos around it.
    Studios like Larian should be held up high as the standard.

    I've got about 60 hours into the game. At this point it's become a breath of fresh air. The story from all aspects seems gripping and compelling. Gameplay is challenging and fun. No shop aka micro-transactions. Looking forward to sinking in a few hundred more hours. Game deserves all the praise its received.

    The people who are giving this a 0 or really anything less than a 9 or 10/10 are just being deliberately obtuse. Anyone who actually plays this game would instantly see the quality that is there.

    First review on Metacritic, though I have used it for a long time! Just thought I might pop my ten out of ten here because BG3 deserves it.

    I played the OG Baldur's Gate and BG2 when I was a child. While I never beat it, I have fond memories of reading books, flinging spells, and talking to the NPCs when I was 9 or 10 years old. When I heard BG3 was coming out I was very excited, and    First review on Metacritic, though I have used it for a long time! Just thought I might pop my ten out of ten here because BG3 deserves it.

    I played the OG Baldur's Gate and BG2 when I was a child. While I never beat it, I have fond memories of reading books, flinging spells, and talking to the NPCs when I was 9 or 10 years old. When I heard BG3 was coming out I was very excited, and bought Early Access immediately. I played about 40 hours of early access when it was first released, and back then Larian had made BG3 as an amalgamation of their previous title Divinity: Original Sin 2 and the D&D 5e core mechanics. Because of this, I was worried about Larian's handling of the game. While I enjoyed the story and interactions available, this combination of two disparate systems was not what I wanted out of a Baldur's Gate game. I went on the forums and posted a nice feedback post, and waited patiently for a few years. In the intervening time I played a lot of video games, moved, lived life and mostly forgot about BG3 but for the occasional update about an added class, or a bug fix that I might skim over.

    Now, about three years after early access, I get to have my hands on the full game. Starting with the bad, there are a few bugs here and there. Sometimes the UI borks and you have to reload a save, and sometimes the cameras in dialogue aim in weird ways or are covered by the odd piece of environment you moved during battle. Every once in a while the pathing can get you killed, or because the screen is full of fire and explosions you might accidentally stunning strike your own rogue. But that's about it.

    When it comes to the good of the game it is hard to summarize so I will just talk a little about the things that stand out to me the most, the first being the story. Baldur's Gate and indeed D&D has, for me since I played as a little boy, always been about the characters and the story. When I was the Spawn of Bhaal in the old games and had to overcome that. When the characters really wanted my help with their problems and I disappointed them if I failed to act. That stuck with me. Heck I would say it even taught me how to be a better friend as I grew up. BG3 continues this tradition, and expands upon it with all of the complexity that a more modern game can provide. I wont do any spoilers but, suffice it to say I am enchanted by the characters, and really feel the beats when they succeed or fail. I want to help the people I like, and I want to shatter the people that would stop me from doing so. Not many games give you that feeling of personal responsibility for your story and the stories of your companions, but BG3 does.

    The second thing I will mention is the systems. While there could be some quality of life changes regarding some oversites in UI, the systems for combat are great. As I said before, I had written a forum post when I first played early access about my skepticism of its similarity to Divinity, but they had taken the advice of me and every other fan of D&D, changed it to what we wanted, and made no fuss about it. The results? I feel like I am playing a masterfully homebrewed campaign of D&D 5e, to the point where I certainly have an advantage over a new player, knowing beforehand what a bonus action, a spell slot, and what "gith" are. It made me wary even that the systems could be a little too complex for a casual, none rpg player to enjoy. But as I watched people play on twitch, I can see that the fun of the combat and its ease of use outweigh the sometimes cumbersome system knowledge it might take to understand *precisely* what is going on when you, say, use smite as a bonus action in order to make your attack deal 2d6 more radiant damage to any enemy, multiplied by its resistances, and since you have a cool item, healing you in the process for 2d4. The game makes it understandable through good audio ques, visual design, and UI design. Making RPGs approachable to the masses has long been one of the big barriers to more people playing, and Larian seems to have done it by simply trusting that players are smart enough to get it. How simple, and yet effective.

    To bring this big old post to the end, it is no understatement for me to say that Baldur's Gate 3 has, in many ways, revitalized my faith in the games industry. In the past few years I have felt, like many, that the only way to get something unique and beautiful in a game is to find it in indie developers. Whether it be a system, a story, an art style or some mix of all of those, more and more it feels hard to find a "big budget" game that evokes the sense of awe and wonder that those intimate studios seem to capture. Larian, though, has proved that it is not impossible for a big team to make something wonderful, heartwarming, heart wrenching, and built from the bottom up with love.    … Expand

    Congratulations to Larian for the beautiful scenery, the story progression lines, and the gameplay factor that allows for various character combinations and builds. If it doesn't win Game of the Year, it's already the Game of the Year in my heart

    Even with so many positive reviews, it saddens me to see that there are hundreds of negative reviews. I believe these might be from people who didn't grasp the game's progression properly, made poor choices, failed to adapt to the mechanics and strategies of tabletop games that BG3 draws inspiration from in most aspects, and that's why they gave negative reviews. I hope this changes in the future.    … Expand

    I will admit, for the first few hours of BG3 I wasn't sure if it was going to live up to the hype. I am new to CRPGs and D&D, so there was a bit of a learning curve. A little over halfway through act 1 I hit level 5, and everything clicked. I am now 55 hours into the game and I'm just starting act 2.

    -Sound was fabulous, whether it be the music or the sound effects, everything was pushing the atmosphere.    Truly one of the best games and RPGs ever made. Why is it a 10/10?

    -Sound was fabulous, whether it be the music or the sound effects, everything was pushing the atmosphere. Again, the music here is great, for long playthroughs it really helps the experience.
    -Gameplay is where this game shines, its shows its' DnD backbones with pride. The checks and systems of DnD work wonderfully here. The amount of choice you have is staggering, the amount of possible outcomes for so many situations is exciting to say the least. Needless to say, if you're a DnD fan and like video games, this is gonna be a hit for you.
    -It works wonderfully for co-op, i've only tried 2 and 3 person groups, but both were seemless. I have not tried cross play however, with PC only being out.
    -Plot/story- The story of the game is well drawn out, it has some amazing characters and backstories that are definitely intriguing. I'm encouraged to see the many directions the plot can go as well for multiple runs. I will say the game's companions are a bit "too horny" lol
    -The amount of content here is staggering, its well worth a full game price tag, I myself know multiple playthroughs will be easily happening. 10/10 without a doubt.

    That said, I would say my one gripe on the game is that the 3rd act doesnt quite punch home. I still think the first act was the most well put together, doesn't take away from the value of the game though! Buy it! Play it!    … Expand

    I Have been waiting for this since i was a child. BG2 was a classic and hopefully so will this too go down in history. Late chapters have some "weirdness" i will say with a few triggers and things lacking polish, but definitely nothing to dampen the 10/10 role playing experience. Should be fun a second time though and more. Value:10/10.

    Es un juego que se debe por ley de existencia humana jugar una vez en la vida, es único y muy divertido aparte que su historia bastante profunda me trae recuerdos como cuando salió por primera vez The Witcher 3, una admiración total o la vez que jugué RDR II, marcan un antes y un después en la vida de un gamer.

    My best friends had gotten me into D&D, then into Divinity 2. Having my two most favorite things combined, I had high expectations and Larian delivered 110%. Having 70 hours on my save, I can confidently say this game deserves Game or the Year without a doubt. Now my friends and I explore the Forgotten Realms in a faithful, story-rich and beautiful game that is Balder’s Gate 3.

    The game boasts of a masterfully written story, where every action you take,reflects its consequences in the game world even a lot of chapters later;
    the tactical gameplay makes you use your brain in fights,even at low level, instead of just spamming op moves here and there.
    The fact that this game is set in a DND world,makes the lore even deeper,and invites the player into researching interesting facts about it.
    The game is full of memorable characters,each one with their unique traits.
    For a game this big and deep,the graphics and the 3D models are highly detailed and have top tier voice acting and good animations.The OST is simply one of the best i've ever listened in a videogame,with each villain having their own ost (a character with a name that starts with the letter "R" has one of the best ost in my opinion).
    This game is one of the best RPGs i've ever played and sits on the throne next to The Witcher 3.
    I loved every second of this game and i hope this game gets GOTY 2023 award,it deserves it for setting the bar in development so high.
    Good job Larian,you deserve every praise for this game, i hope to see more of this game in the near future.

The game's meticulously crafted world is a visual feast, with stunning landscapes and intricate character designs that capture the essence of the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

    The storytelling in "Baldur's Gate 3" is its undeniable highlight. The narrative is    "Baldur's Gate 3" emerges as a worthy successor to the iconic franchise, offering a mix of nostalgia and modern gameplay mechanics. The game's meticulously crafted world is a visual feast, with stunning landscapes and intricate character designs that capture the essence of the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

    The storytelling in "Baldur's Gate 3" is its undeniable highlight. The narrative is rich and branching, influenced by player choices and character interactions. Each decision has the potential to alter the course of the story, lending a sense of agency and immersion that draws players deeper into the game's universe. Dialogues are well-written, filled with wit and depth, giving NPCs a life of their own.

    The transition to turn-based combat has been well-executed. Battles are intense and strategic, requiring players to carefully consider positioning, abilities, and environmental factors. The inclusion of verticality and interactive elements in combat further elevates the tactical experience.

    However, it's important to note that while the game is impressive in its release state, there are occasional bugs, performance issues, and incomplete features that can temporarily hamper the experience. Players should make a note that the game is receiving hotfixes/updates to fizzle out these issues. Despite some minor hiccups, the potential for greatness is evident. Larian Studios has a track record of listening to player feedback and refining their games accordingly. As hotfixes/updates continue to roll out, players can anticipate improvements, additional content, and a smoother overall experience.

    In conclusion, "Baldur's Gate 3" shines as a promising addition to the RPG genre. Its captivating storytelling, intricate gameplay mechanics, and potential for growth make it a title that both long-time fans of the series and newcomers can look forward to experiencing. While some rough edges are present due to its early release, the foundation is strong, leaving players excited for what's to come in the GOTY edition.    … 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.
