    Great game, I love cutscenes, and story. I like this tactical turn based combat playstyle, it suits me, with complexity similar to Battle Brothers. Also romance with Shadowheart is dream come true, I wish i would met such a lovely and sweet woman.

    It’s not the same a sitting around the table with your friends, but it’s a good substitution. People are reporting some bugs (ruined save games and such), but I haven’t encountered any, so far. I’m still in Act I. Graphics are good, but not amazing. However, that’s not the main point of this game. Still, they’re a lot better than previous Larian games, so that’s    Well worth the wait.

    Gameplay. for some people this will be a game that’s too slow. Turn-based isn’t for everyone. I like it though. If you’re a fan of such games, then BG3 will be a great experience.

    UI. a bit clunky at times. Characters sometimes walk into traps they spotted earlier. Spellcasting can be difficult in the beginning of the game. But once figured out, it’s easy to use.

    Story. not the most surprising story out there, especially if you’ve been reading fantasy books and have been playing DnD since the eighties, but it’s well written and entertaining.

    Environment is well designed, recognizable from previous Sword Coast environments. And when there’s an encounter, it’s easy (and advisable) to use the environment to your advantage (I have the high ground).

    All in all, I really like this game. There’s room for improvement, so that’s why I ‘only’ give it a 9 out of 10.    … Expand

    Outside of that though I honestly recommend this to anyone interested in RPGs, this truly is one of the greatest games I've played, and reminds me of what made me fall in love with gaming in the first place.

    Masterpiece.
    Only 3 problems:
    - D&D mechanics are not so fun in a videogame, most are counter intuitive and boring.
    - Mute heroes in dialogues.
    - You must create a custom character to join a party in multiplayer.

    Pretty good game so far, I'm only 250 xp away from level 5. I do need to get used to the low level adventuring at this length. Which turns out to be very dangerous. I never thought leveling from level 3 to 4 would make me feel so much stronger. Facing off against a level 5 (big) monster in the underdark felt so epic, a real life or death battle. Can't wait to get to level 5.

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe. I wish to share my impressions, while avoiding any spoilers.

    One of the game's greatest strengths is its stunning visual presentation. Environmental details, character models, and visual effects create an impressive and immersive world. Each area we traverse reflects the characteristics of the region, adding depth to the gameplay and allowing us to immerse ourselves in the presented story.

    The story of Baldur's Gate 3 is filled with intrigue and surprises. The developers have crafted a complex web of character relationships, giving weight to our choices with real consequences. As we delve deeper into the game's world, we uncover mysteries that become increasingly captivating with each step. It truly takes one's breath away to realize the multitude of narrative branches that can be explored.

    The combat system is also captivating. The combination of turn-based and real-time elements allows for a strategic approach to battles. Combat isn't solely about strength, but also agility and tactical thinking. The ability to interact with the environment, utilize terrain, and the diversity of character skills create dynamic and thrilling encounters.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game in its early access version might have some imperfections. I encountered a few bugs and unfinished elements that could occasionally affect the smoothness of gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers are continuously working on enhancing the game, and the full version is likely to bring many improvements.

    To sum it up, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that draws players into its world from the very beginning. A captivating storyline, breathtaking visual design, and an innovative combat system combine to create an unforgettable adventure for RPG and fantasy enthusiasts. Despite some imperfections, giving this game a chance is well worth it, as it offers a wealth of experiences to be enjoyed.

    I've just finished the game after 115 hours (with a fair amount of AFK time).

    Going into act 3 the game was a rock solid 10/10 for me, but after finishing the game I have to amend that to a 9/10. Act 3 is noticeably lacking in polish, I had multiple quests bug out, some of which I couldn't complete at all and others that were ruined as a result.

Act 3 is noticeably lacking in polish, I had multiple quests bug out, some of which I couldn't complete at all and others that were ruined as a result. And the performance is really bad, with an RTX 3080 and 13700K I lost about 50fps going from acts 1 & 2 to 3, which made for a choppy experience. And while there were some great quests, the act starts off so slowly, I spent hours just exploring which was made less enjoyable because of the aforementioned performance issues. The start of act 3 is the first time I've felt bored playing the game.

    The length of some fights is another sore spot for me, especially when you add CC into the mix, waiting two minutes for your turn only to get stunned thus skipping it just feels awful, this really became a problem in act 3 with so many enemies on screen at once, the combat became a chore that I had to do in order to get more story content, which was incredible. This was made even worse due to certain friendly NPCs bugging out and not moving/attacking, which caused the game to pause whenever it was their turn (I had this happen on the final fight and others). I think a lot of little things had just started to really grate on me by this point, especially things like the dodgy camera movement and fighting in buildings which was so cumbersome. And I can't count the amount of times the camera bugged during dialog so I ended up looking at a door or wall instead of the character.

    I know I'm being a bit negative but overall it's still an incredible game, with the best story and voice acting that I've ever experienced. I rarely get so invested into characters, but the character development was so so good. And the attention to detail was top class, everything in the game world felt connected, sometimes in unbelievable ways. My friends and I are planning to start a MP campaign now that we've all finished it, which should be fun, but I do hope that Larian can work on fixing some of the issues I mentioned before we make it back to act 3.    … Expand

    It doesn't feel like a sequel to Baldur's Gate, but that being said, it is still a great game. Combat can be hard, but you need to think through your actions, which I am sure a lot of people don't like. Sometimes they aren't too forward with actions and bonus actions.

    I think this is as close as you can get to playing a D&D game as a video game. The sense of freedom in your choices is, quite simply, unmatched.

The sense of freedom in your choices is, quite simply, unmatched. The game has plenty of problems due to the reliance on the D&D ruleset mind you. But I don't think it could be done any better than this. The problems aren't due to the implementation. It's due to the rules themselves often being very black and white. Either hit or miss the target. Even when it makes no sense to miss when looking at it visually.

    When you play a D&D game you have a human DM. That DM is interested in making a fun game for the participants. That also means sometimes bending the rules a bit. And Baldur's Gate 3 basically implements this by letting you quick-save and quick-load as much as you want. I'd go as far as calling this a necessity. You will run into some bad luck streaks. Be it in battles or with dialog choices. And quite frankly this can be extremely frustrating when it happens. Especially since much of the D&D rules are hidden behind the veil of stunning graphics and audio. Sometimes it feels like the game is deliberately taunting you.

    As much as I want to, I don't have the patience for a second play-through right away. So I want this play-through to count where it matters to me. And that means spamming that quick-load button to make sure I exhaust those dialog options and ultimately pick the one that suits me. You never know what awaits you at the other end of a dialog choice. Sometimes you thought a choice meant one thing, but then come to realize the tone was completely different to what you thought. It's text, it's not always obvious. And that can ruin some situations when the game tries to squeeze you back into the dialog tree wherever it fits. That sometimes requires a reload. The special class-related choices are also very hard to decipher. The base die throw required for each are not shown until you've chosen the option. That could use a redesign for better transparency (and to save us some quick-loads).

    With all of that said, the game is near perfect when it comes to the entire experience as a whole. There is SO MUCH to experience in this game it baffles me it is even possible. There are some weird bugs here and there. I can imagine that being inevitable as the game tries to deal with all of the outcomes of so insanly many interwoven quests and stories. It has to deal with all of it. And it succeeds in ways no other RPG game has done before it.

    Not to mention you can talk your way out of most fights.
    This is so much fun and more varied than games like Divinity 2 where every fight feels like a prolonged mini boss fight. Larian also loves their environmental effects like fire, ice, water, etc but thankfully they have toned that down a lot since D2.
    There are also plenty of puzzles that are fun, varied and interesting and nearly all of them aren't essential to the main story so you can totally skip them if that's not your thing.
    There were a ton of bugs and crashes on the first couple days of playing but Larian squashed most of them quick. There's still some graphical quirks and UI annoyances like I need to click on a character portrait multiple times to be successful, but I have no doubt the devs will get to them in time.    … Expand

    The reason I m giving this game a 9 and not a 10 is for the weak companions relationship. I was expecting something like Mass Effect but it s very shallow and sometimes personal moments feels very cheap.
    Other than that is one of the best videogames I played in years. It will take you back to one time where games where fun and they were complete at launch.

    Fantastic game, shoved well over 70 hours into it. Class creation is solid, some are a little OP as it's not completely balanced (like any whack it class with haste buff or dual classes caster).

    Laeian definitely went with the if it moves and has more lines of dialog then 8 you can sleep with it

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game that lets you create your own story in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. You can choose from a variety of races, classes, backgrounds, and abilities to customize your character, and then embark on an epic adventure with up to three other players or companions. You can explore a vast and beautiful world full of secrets, dangers, and opportunities, and interact withBaldur’s Gate 3 is a game that lets you create your own story in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. You can choose from a variety of races, classes, backgrounds, and abilities to customize your character, and then embark on an epic adventure with up to three other players or companions. You can explore a vast and beautiful world full of secrets, dangers, and opportunities, and interact with hundreds of characters and creatures. You can also shape the world and the story with your choices and actions, as well as your dice rolls.

    The game is very immersive and engaging, as it gives you a lot of freedom and agency to play the way you want. You can use stealth, diplomacy, combat, magic, or even persuasion to overcome the challenges you face. You can also use the environment and the objects around you to your advantage, such as setting traps, throwing barrels, or pushing enemies off cliffs. The game also has a lot of humor and charm, as it allows you to do some silly or creative things, such as talking to animals, transforming into other creatures, or casting spells that have unexpected effects.

    The game is also very faithful and accurate to the rules and mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons, which is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, it makes the game very authentic and realistic, as it simulates the tabletop experience in a digital format. It also makes the game very challenging and complex, as it requires a lot of strategy and luck to succeed in some situations. On the other hand, it also makes the game very restrictive and frustrating at times, as it limits your options and abilities based on your class, level, spell slots, armor class, etc. It also makes the game very dependent on RNG (random number generator), which can make some outcomes feel unfair or unsatisfying.

    Overall, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game that I would recommend to anyone who loves role-playing games or Dungeons & Dragons. It is a game that offers a lot of fun and excitement, as well as depth and replay-ability. It is a game that is still in development, but already shows a lot of promise and potential. It is a game that deserves your attention and support.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good and can be even better with a few patches. it is clear many reviewers did not make it until the end or they would have noticed performance problems and a lot of bugs in the last chapter. It took me around 90 hours to complete the game and I loved the voice acting, music and branching paths and stories.

    Unfortunately the last hours left a sour taste in my mouth. The run up to the boss while being bombarded by enemy artillery made me scream "Who the hell came up with this **** and a boss that has to be taken down with a timer running in the background was not fun at all. The ending cutscene took around 5 minutes leaving many questions unanswered. In Larian tradition this will be patched and an enhanced edition released. This is not okay though, if we invest almost a hundred hours into a game we deserve closure.

    I still had a good time with it but am tired of buying products that will get patched throughout the year to deliver a finished game. It is what it is though and I suggest opening the upper city for exploration and splitting the third act into two. The last act was too cramped and the city should be bigger. It is clear the upper city was cut out of the game but planned initially.    … Expand

    The Story and pacing are very good for a story driven game. You could easily spend 200 hours on 1 playthrough like i did. My main criticism is the inventory management, which doesnt have enough filter or options to blend certain item groups in or out. If that would be fixed ar some point, it would be a 10/10

    An advise: Never reload unless you party get totally anhilated. Take one decission and asume the consecuences.

    Negative point, IMO: the exigences of leveling forces you to completely clear the Act I and in a way that may become absurd, in a way we can define as "exploit every inch of the map" instead of "make your own adventure". An extreme example: If I chose to follow one path to reach the land of the Act II instead the other path, I asume that I´m missing something and is coherent, but I´ve discovered lately that I´m losing highly valuable PXs, so I ´ve felt tempted to explore that second path even when my party actually has reached the place where that path leads.

    My party arrived the Act II in level 5, recently has reached the 6th level, they´re confronting MASSIVE groups of level 6 to 8 enemies and they just can´t deal with many encounters no matter cares wich tactics I used. But, I must admit, I´m still enjoying being underleveled, it has sense, my party feels scared and must act very cautiously.    … Expand

While being fun, those games had a ton of problems. Just to name a few:
    - Unbalanced characters. Some classes were just better than others
    - A huge pile of useless skills with vague descriptions that never worked
    - Inventory management of the whole party, that took enormous amount of time and effort
    - Tricky quests and maze-like maps that made it hard to figure out where to go next
    - Undefeatable enemies. Say, you are a mage, but the enemy is 100% resistant to magic
    - Weird dice-based random that feels like 50% no matter the actual chance
    There is no way the game like this could work in 2023, so I was really curious about how they would apply the old Baldurs Gate concept to the modern title.
    ...and boy, apply they did!

    Let us start with graphics and music. They are awesome. They are the best. Every asset is so detailed the game could have been a first person RPG. No matter how close you zoom in, or how far you zoom out- the game looks great! Combined with unique ambient and tracks, they create an unforgettable atmosphere- be it a sunny village, or a dark dungeon, they look and feel natural.

    Plot, characters and quests. Every character has their own personality, theirs strengths and weaknesses. Every quest is unique, highly variable and often unpredictable, with dozens of possible outcomes. There is not a single "go kill 10 orks" or "go gather 3 plants". And the easier it sounds, the more tricky it turns out to be. Characters interact with each other, with quests, they react to your choices and offer their opinion about your actions. Voice acting and cutscenes are so great, they could have been a movie on their own.

    Freedom. The game made me feel like my choices actually matter. It is a long forgotten feeling, when you understand there are no plot rails you must follow. It is the plot that follows you! Nothing is predetermined. Nothing forces you to be on the good side. For example, nothing prevents you from attacking any, I repeat, any(!) character. And it's never the end of the road- the plot just unfolds in a way you have never expected it to.

    But the biggest advantage of this game is the sheer amount of content it offers. I have already spent over 50 hours, and it feels like I did not even scratch the surface. It might be hard to describe, but the game just never stops giving. There is one level after another, map after map, quest after quest. Distinctly unique, memorable and different. They are surprisingly intuitive too, and, while there are no quest markers most of the time, you will eventually complete all quests, provided you spend some time exploring. The replayability is also huge, as every action matters, and depending on a way you complete your quests, and companions you choose, the playthrough will also change. And tactical possibilities... they are just endless, with hundreds of skills, items, equipment, spells, environments and strategies you can use. I have never seen a game with this much inside. Those 90Gb were totally worth downloading.

    There are still some things I did not like, though.
    - Performance could use some improvement. Sometimes, the game would just start lagging for absolutely no reason.
    - Characters are indeed unbalanced, some of them are good at single target combat, others can take multiple enemies at once. And then there are some useless ones, with niche skills that can do nothing most of the time. The difference is also huge, and while 1 character does 100 damage per turn, the other one does only 5. So, I imagine being stuck with wrong characters would make for a poor experience. By the way, all items have same "numbes", but different secondary skills. Also, while a melee character can swing their sword indefinitely, a mage can cast a strong spell twice at best.
    - Inventory management it still a bother, albeit a tiny one now, as they did add a ton of quality of life features.
    - Real-dice random is, well, a real dice. No matter how good your character is, even a 98% chance feels more like 50%. On the other hand, 10% chance is also more like 50%, even though you might have to spam save-load a few times.
    - Quests are impossible to beat the way you want, as, just like in real life, things rarely go the way you expect them to. And, while the game tries to warn you sometimes, there are still some extremely frustrating moments when you accept a quest, go to sleep, and wake up just to find that you have failed it.
    - Companions also disappoint. That cute girl just ignores you, even after you maxed out the relationship meter. But that weird guy just keeps hitting on you, even after you said "no" 10 times so far. I guess, developers still have some bugs to fix.

    All in all, the game is totally worth it. I had a ton of fun. There is no scam, like paid DLCs, cosmetic shops, ads or season passes. You just play it, and get the whole experience.    … Expand

    Sin Denuvo (que perjudica siempre la experiencia en PC cada juego que lo tiene).

    Obviamente es un juego que hay que seguir puliendo pero con todo esto a nivel Calidad/Precio es un 9, repito, es un 9 porque sigue teniendo errores para mí resta los bugs de traducción. Pero ya está. Éste debería ser el canon de todo juego, como en los 90, completo de salida con un único pago sin llegar a 70€ que siendo tan grande me parece lógico que cobren 60€ o algo más (porque es gigante).

    Me ha recordado a The Legend of Dragoon, Baten Kaitos, FF VII o X, Golden Sun... Así deberían ser los juegos. Completos de inicio con un único pago y traducidos.

    The game is so good my only real complaint is that it will end at some point. There are some minor issues and bugs, but nothing that sours the experience. Just a quality game with a lot of love and care put into it. I'm 60 hours in still not finished so hesitant to give it a 10 just yet, but it's very much looking like a game that perfectly executes on it's promises.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is so good that its making my partner mad on how I spent most of my time with this game (jokingly). Baldur's gate 3 has been one of the the rare games that eat me away with its impressiveness and complexity of its story, system and combat. Its graphics is not that state of the art when it comes to graphical fidelity but it can still be a looker with its different location. Baldur's gate 3 will drag you with its story and the characters you meet, with their story really captivating both in companions and other quest that you will encounter.

    But, it has its problem. Baldur's gate 3 is not a perfect game. Baldur's gate 3 suffer from the mass effect writing when it comes to romance. Characters would fall for you in a fast paced setting that will shock you on how everyone is very into you. But, expanding on those romances can blossom into something that is very interesting and engaging (They just had a bad starting point). One of the problem of Baldur's gate 3 problem is the camera angles and control. Sometimes, camera would get stuck on environment where its a struggle to fix to the point of awkwardness of its control.

    Overall, even with those problem this game is I consider this game as a contender to the game of the year spot, with its long hours campaign that is strangely not over stretch that has quantity and quality built into them and compelling characters with intriguing background. The gameplay is rough and hard but satisfying nonetheless. Overlooking the graphic fidelity, it is still a good looking game that has a quality of a triple A game that can serve as a blueprint on how to nail a perfect RPG. This game is a 9.9 for me but 10 would be a good score overlooking the problem that it has. Larian studios deserve the praises that they get with a banger like this one.    … Expand

The graphics in the game are also not bad, but the only thing that makes it difficult to navigate in the dark is that you have to turn up the brightness. I didn't like the interface of the inverter and the layout of things in it - it was so small that I had to get closer to the screen and look at something. I didn’t like the highlighting of the inscriptions of objects in the world, as I understand it, some things are not highlighted, so it’s easy to miss them and not learn something new and opening other tasks will not happen, unfortunately.

The game features dice rolls, ability checks, stat modifiers, etc. that people have come to associate with D&D. But even for those unfamiliar with the mega tabletop hit, Baldur's Gate 3 offers a unique and deep spin on the RPG genre, giving character choice and direction depth that has never before been seen in gaming.

    At its core, Baldur's Gate 3 is a standard fantasy RPG with a well tuned and tactical XCOM like battle system. Fights can be long and grueling, taking upwards of 30-45 minutes to finish, and positioning is key. Spells and classes are unique and well balanced in their implementation, although the D&D style combat dice rolling can be frustrating at times if you low roll a bunch in short span, the game is crystal clear though on the chance for your attack or ability to hit. Fights are also difficult and challenging, especially bosses and the larger encounters, some taking a couple trial and error runs with pre fight positioning and sequencing.

    Where the game truly shines above all others like it is in its breadth of player choice. You as the main player character can, effectively, do whatever you want. Yes, there are consequences, but there is never a shortage of options. In only my first several hours of gameplay I had killed 3 potential party members without even realizing. You can circumvent encounters with dialogue or character choices. You can turn yourself into an illithid monster and kill everything in your path. There are entirely too many possibilities to describe but if you can think of it you can usually do it.

    My most memorable and consequential decision came sometime in the early mid game when I arrived to the Last Light Inn. A character there revealed himself to me to be working for the 'Absolute' (bad guy) and that he wanted my help abducting the local priest who was protecting the inn with her magic. I chose to wait and see because I wanted to find a quiet way to dispatch of this guy and get an item he had that I wanted for myself. Immediately in my next conversation the guy made his move and abducted the priest right from the middle of everyone, without the priest the inn fell in to darkness and everybody there outside of my party died a grueling death. This is just an example of the consequences and intricacies within this game, everyone will have a different path and story through this game.

    Where the game does a little fall flat is in the 3rd act, which for the most takes place in a large city. The story, choices, and quests are just more straightforward here, lacking the diversity and polish of the previous areas. The game is also littered with visual and gameplay bugs that are typical for this genre. Missing textures or invisible objects can happen, the game can get stuck saving which prevents you from saving again or loading back into a previous save, I fully expect in future patches and developments for these issues to be fixed.

    Overall, due to some of its technical and story issues the game falls short of being in the top tier class of Skyrim or Witcher 3 for me. But it is without a doubt the most free and uninhibited RPG I have ever played.    … Expand

    Another Edit*
    When I said Baldurs Gate 3 won't be the game of the year, I was wrong(I like being proved wrong), this game at the moment is my GOTY. After 70hrs+ I'm on second playthrough.
    I've been playing Starfield and yeah it doesn't compete, nothing that came out this year competes with this game. Larian Studios, you have my vote. Quick Edit* I didn't expect to come back here and    Another Edit*

    Quick Edit*
    I didn't expect to come back here and bump up the score yet again, This is a 9/10 game, this game keeps on surprising me with new stuff that I didn't even know was in there, I realised this game has split-screen, I not only that, I'm still in the first area (I'm in the Underdark), discovering new things.
    I'm making sure I get through all the content.

    First Impression Below:
    This is my first Baldurs Gate game, Usually, I'm not excited about turned-based RPG-styled games, but this is quality.

    I'm sure the hype around this game made a lot of gamers look into it considering how good the graphics and cutscenes look, the dialogue options, and the characters.

    Now I'm going to say it... a lot of this game will be spending a lot of time in combat.
    I understand that it's the style of the game, but really what makes it bad for me is that I've played games like God Of War where the gameplay is more engaging.
    In here it's sit down and try and play chess with the enemies.

    Besides the combat, I have to say that in no game I've ever played recently has the world been this engaging since the days of Skyrim and Fallout 4.
    Everything from collecting loot to finding weird characters and events is really good.

    Now the reviews that are giving a 9/10, or 10/10, I get where you come from, I understand the type of games you like and enjoy dunking hours into. I'm going to keep putting hours into this game because I'm invested in the world and the opportunities it offers.

    But, I cannot say it's perfect considering the vast variations of consumers, Modern Gaming, and well just the technology available to make this game an experience for all to play.
    it is in no way a perfect game.

    This is another Elden Ring Situation, where gamers not familiar with the type of game it is, are relying on the game to entertain them (Understandable), instead of finding stuff in the game that will entertain them.

    What I expected from this game is a hybrid turned-based game, kind of like Dragon Age Inquisition.
    This is just pure turned-based.

    Now you can play this with the controller, but I found that Combat is much faster with the keyboard.

    So far, the Performance of the game is good, No crashes, no Bugs, just a very clean game.

    Now let me lay it down for you.
    Graphics: 9/10, That's Spicy Graphics, Some may say it's bad actually, but it's really good. The details of the models for a Turned-based game, and the environments are nice, it's just missing something...Atmosphere.

    Characters: 8/10, Nice characters, some of them are stupid but I guess that's the point.

    Combat: 4/10, I'm not forgiving, But I dislike Turned-based, especially when you lose because the enemies start to dump Damage like it's Taco Tuesday.

    Story: 7/10, I'm Digging the story, You can get a little lost at times, but if you just wander around you'll get to where you need to be.

    Features: 7/10, It has good features but, I wish I could look UP (I know a stupid thing to say, but when you have a pretty environment you want to look at it from all angles), I wish the camera was more adjustable.

    Scummyness: 2/10, Deluxe edition? Just sell your game, and we will buy it, but at least this game doesn't have any MT, No Packs, No Time Savers. This isn't something unique to me, this is the bare minimum.

    Ok, I may not update this review again, since this is going to be a long game, but I think an 8/10 is tolerable for this one.
    Should you check out this game and pay the price?
    If you like Turned-based, this is a good fit for you, If you're new to turn-based, you may not like this, but if you are willing and open to trying one, this is probably the most quality one I've seen.
    Look I'm not a hardcore fan, there are probably a lot of fans out there not impressed at all, I don't know much, but I am a game dev, so I understand the intricacies of this game. It's simple and thank God for that. it has a good enough constant game loop and flow, to keep me invested. So overall good job, I don't expect this to win GOTY this year as there is nothing groundbreaking in this game. I predict Spiderman 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, or Armored Core 6 to Win. It's a hard pick. I think it might be Starfield if Bethesda Pulls it off(Nope), if not Spider-Man 2. Balders Gate 3 will give the industry a run for its money though(They will win). Finally, I hope Larian Studios, moves past the old style and starts innovating. This game In My Eyes could have been more epic, Combat wise, You guys nailed cutscenes and Characters, and now just nailed an interesting and engaging combat.    … 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.
