    I have been following this game since its first teaser released. Waiting nearly a year for early access and 3 for the full game. In the end, Larian knocked it out of the park again with this one. If it was possible to give higher than a 10 for exceeding my every expectation I would give that here without a second thought.

    Impressive, I never played a game like this one.
    Even if they use the base of DOS, it's not the same game.
    You're really immerse in a world, in a story. Mechanics are great.
    Great game, really. Thanks Larian.

Please to future developers or people in general, be sure to release games great like this one.

    Most dynamic reactive story game in the history of game making. Reacts to your race, your class, your choices, your companions etc. Also you can just decide to be evil and **** everything up, and the game will allow that, being evil is well written, which is very rare.

    Balder's Gate 3

    This is the BEST game i ever played I've played skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout, and other Role Playing Games. To preface I've never really played a CRPG before (Though i have played Dungeons and Dragons) Larian rolled a critical success (NAT 20) with Balder's gate 3 the sequal to the series starting all the way back in 1998 by Black Isle studios and Interplay studios
    Balder's Gate 3

    This is the BEST game i ever played

    I've played skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout, and other Role Playing Games. To preface I've never really played a CRPG before (Though i have played Dungeons and Dragons)

    Larian rolled a critical success (NAT 20) with Balder's gate 3 the sequal to the series starting all the way back in 1998 by Black Isle studios and Interplay studios (some of you might even remember it!) Where do i even start?!

    The overarching story is excellent (Don't worry there's no spoilers here!) To lay out the scene - You - whoever you choose to be class, race origin etc end up being flung into an adventure of truly giant proportions! The story explores Aberrations beyond explanation and how you've come in between it all - i cant understate how experience wise this game has it all from selling your soul (literally if you choose to) to learning how a Half Orc is made or even getting on the wrong side of some very powerful entities. This game has the polish of what every game should aspire to be. (and that why Developers are upset on twitter/X as games we apparently shouldn't expect this?!)

    This is also my first game by Larian studios (Who actually bought he Intellectual property from the people who made Dungeons and Dragons in order to make this). They were taking a massive risk in one sense, but it obviously paid off really well due to the dedication to their source material and craft. They even managed to link it into the story of Balder's Gate 2 and bring back some familiar faces.

    Everything in Wizards of the coast produced DnD you will find here - you're not being sold some half truth.

    A word on the Soundtrack (Composed by Borislav Slavov):

    This is the best game soundtrack i have ever heard, from a musician's perspective the musical motifs used are effortlessly clever and really make your crew feel truly influential in the fate of the city of Balder's Gate and partially the realm of Faerûn.

    None of the music really feels jarring and fits the setting or location you find yourself in even the first layer of the 9 infernos or some beautiful forest it also has some of the best vocals I've heard which fit beautifully with the main theme (Which is actually split into 3 parts!)

    Please give Borislav a chance at composing for film or something this guy has everything good about Hans Zimmer and John Williams in his work, The crescendos and build ups in battle music and the soft flowing in certain pieces contrasts beautifully when looked at as a whole.

    The game would simply not be the same without this music. Thank you.

    Things you should know if you want to buy this

    This game takes a turn based approach to combat letting you plot all sorts of ways to remove your foes from the material plane
    Balder's gate 3 actually started development back in 2017!!!
    Your choices actually matter, and yes you can literally do anything in dialog as well as speak to the dead or animals
    Furthermore, this game is the perfect example of the butterfly effect, one small decision could change your journey greatly!
    Mods for the release version of Bg3 will probably be out and Larian have said they wanted mods to be made for the game possibly opening the chance of fan made expansions for the game one day exploring the other parts of the realm!

    I honestly don't know what else to say which hasn't been said in reviews like this one. I could sing its praises again and again also there's tons of replay value!

    P.S Please make a Balder's gate 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right having finished this game thoroughly, I give this game a rating of 9.4/10, score excludes anything to do with bugs or performance hit in act 3.
    The game itself is once in a generation, you would have to wait for another 10 years for something similar. The world, the details, choices, characters, artstyle and graphics are all phenomenal. Music and story was good as well. Combat was faithful to DnD and while it was fun, I think it kind of hamstrung the flow of combat that Divinity 2 had.
    Where the game fell short was bossfights. Gortash and Orin's were not upto standard, I fully expected 2nd phase for both of them. However the Netheric brain fight, Nere, Nightsong fight, Ketheric fight, Raphael fights redeemed it.
    Regarding the characters I liked all of them. However, the game's romance needs work, one thing the need to learn from Bioware. Gale, Wyll and Halsin are too forceful. Karlach, Shadowheart are done just right.
    As for the final fight, it was great but it should have been extended across the whole city like in Dragon Age origins the fight took place across all the Denerim locations. Not perfect, but still very good nonetheless.

    Such a level of dedication, love, attention to detail and above all a genuine and deep immersion of the player in a story which, although set in a fantasy world, is absolutely realistic as a result of the player's choices, actions and reactions from the NPCs, I've never found this before in any RPG game of this kind.

    This was the first game i've ever played CRPG. It took some time to be familiar with game system. However, after playing about 10 hours, i found out that i literally enjoyed the game, and this game made me want to spend time to experience every single selection. The best game ever. Minor bug can be ignored.

    If either this or Zelda wins GOTY, the world is in balance. It's been so long since I've become so hooked on something, so attached to these NPCs and wanting to explore every crevice of a map, this is a 10/10 if ever I've played one.

    Jogo incrível que te prende o tempo todo! D&D e RPG de qualidade absurda, sua imaginação vai além dos diálogos e tem que usar o cérebro para passar bem em alguns combates. Jogo 10/10.

    Viciante, vontade de jogar com todas as classes, porém melhor jogar com amigos possibilitando em focar apenas no seu char e não em quatro.

    I can't state enough how happy I am to see a game developer not push insane micro-transactions(free to play games don't count as this is a full price game) and actually release a game while not perfect, very well polished enough for me to have almost 100 hours of playtime before even hitting any real bug issues which they are already fixed/still fixing rapidly.

    It is without a doubt that the game in question will receive the title of "Game of the Year".

Furthermore, the combat system is a flawless adaptation of the original Dungeons and Dragons game. It is perplexing to encounter negative reviews of this game, particularly those from individuals who lack a fundamental understanding of turn-based RPGs. Criticisms regarding the length of combat and the abundance of cutscenes are unfounded and demonstrate a lack of comprehension. It is inappropriate for such individuals to provide reviews if they are unable to grasp the fundamental concepts of the game. It is suggested that they instead play games such as Call of Duty. Expand

    Any critic that didn't give this a 95+ is just trying to be different for clicks.

    This game, while not perfect, pushes the envelop of game design and storytelling, and - much to the chagrin of other developers - certainly sets a new standard in what gamers expect from their games, just like Bioware did with KOTR, BG, and Mass Effect. One down side is that this will be hard for Larian

    Honestly one of the best RPG's I have ever played and I feel like it will remain like that for a long time. I have not played Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, so I cannot comment on how the story and game-play holds up to those, however the feel of the game is great, it looks really good graphically and gives me everything I could have ever wanted in terms of making impact-ful choices within a game.

    I know balders gate 3 probably isn't for everybody alot of people can't really handle the difficulty but it's just like when I first learned dnd it takes time and you have to put your self in the best position to win encounters some people like that and some people dont

    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.
