    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a while since I have played a game that made me feel so happy and have so much fun, the graphics are amazing even though I had to play them on low because of my computer being a bit weaker for games like this one, the story is very good and the characters feel very alive and fun.

    I love this game with all my heart.

    But (a bit spoilers from here on)

    Act 3 was very rushed, a lot of people already pointed that out, I know about the cut content and I would love if Larian brought back all the cut content in a Definitive Edition and brought back the endings, I kinda of understand why they released the game unfinished, but I really wanted to have experienced the whole game as they intended to show us, a lot of the characters don't react to the things you do in Act 3 and Upper City was talked so much about only for it to not be in the game.

    I really want Larian to fix the endings and bring back the cut content, a part of me has a bit of faith that they will do this because of what I heard they did to Divinity Orginal Sin 2, that they fixed a lot of things in the Act 3 of the game and listened to feedback.

    As much as I am disappointed that the studio didn't give us the actual full game (saying this because of the cut content) I still had so much fun with it and loved every single second of it.    … Expand

    it is better then DoS2 when it comes down to scale and cinematics, however playing conjurer/necromancer is damn boring, since they nerfed Necromancy of Thai. You still likely to enjoy the game if your favorite class is warrior/barbarian/rogue, not so much with orhers

    5e as best as possible, it's the best crpg to date.
    I would give 10/11.
    Honestly I don't care about homosexuality or crossdressers in games, as long as they are normal people like in BG3 so thumbs up for making those characters not any more special than any other character. Lesbians are always a welcome sight and having a futa action will always cheer my heart. Now showing trans    5e as best as possible, it's the best crpg to date.

    I think enough has been said about this game. It's just amazing. It's beautiful, the OST is amazing, the lore, the characters, the story, the decisions that you have to make, everything is just crazy about this game.
    There are a few bugs here and there but nothing that a save/load couldn't fix. Definitely the best game of the year for me and probably one of my favorites of all time

    Best game I have ever played in my life. The depth of the design and the impact that your choices have on the narrative is perfect.

    The only downside in the entire game is that character creation is a little basic, but even then there are a lot of choices that make up for it.

    Must play regardless of what games you enjoy.

    The intriguing twist with the Mind Flayer parasite, which bestows mysterious abilities, took the game to a whole new level. The choice between resistance and temptation, between battling evil and the allure of absolute power, kept me constantly engrossed and immersed in the story.

    The developers have undoubtedly captured the essence of Dungeons & Dragons and transformed it into a next-generation role-playing game. The magic they demonstrated with Divinity: Original Sin 2 is palpable here once again. The world is vibrant, the characters are profound, and the decisions one makes actually hold meaning and consequences.

The amount of build variety within a single class is amazing, not even mentioning multiclassing. The dialogue is also top tier. It's entertaining while keeping the story serious and down to earth well as much as a medieval fantasy can be.

    Not a perfect cRPG but the best cRPG of all time. It's a new standard for the genre.
    Exceptional mechanics, good history, beautiful graphics&sound, and an unique vision of the concept of freedom for a computer game. Other cRPGs, as the original BG I&II, may be better in some points, but neither game is as solid in all features as BG III.

    The best game I've played since The Witcher 3 in 2016, I daresay my experience with Baldur's Gate 3 is even better. Masterfully crafted world with superb storyline that can be told in more ways than one and it will still be miraculously coherent by the end of it.

Personally, I would have enjoyed Alfira or Zevlor joining my party or other non-tadpole-infected characters I meet on my journey. Kagha or another «evil» druid would have been an interesting addition. Also, I could imagine more freedom in terms of evil party composition and story development. Some things appear on a sidenote and could be more tied into the main plot.

    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.
