    Honestly one of the worst games I have ever played, and I don't even care that it is an Original Sin 2 clone and has nothing in common with Baldur's Gate. The game is very depraved, the dialogue is Reddit tier awful, and the combat is boring and slow. Never again.

    4/10 to balance out the hype.

    Just like the last big gaming releases backed by social media marketing, the release of Baldur's Gate 3 has again pointed to the roots of marketing hypes and public relations: Propaganda. People become devotees up in arms against anyone who stands in the way of its Gloriousness, its Holyness, its Singularity. "GOTY, GOTY, GOTY !!!", consumed and forgotten    4/10 to balance out the hype.

    Just like the last big gaming releases backed by social media marketing, the release of Baldur's Gate 3 has again pointed to the roots of marketing hypes and public relations: Propaganda. People become devotees up in arms against anyone who stands in the way of its Gloriousness, its Holyness, its Singularity. "GOTY, GOTY, GOTY !!!", consumed and forgotten one after the other.

    It's sad to see how the name of Baldur's Gate is used for an entirely different game that is also a part of all this frenetic and agitated hollowness that is shaping the current gaming industry as well as groupthink mentality.

    In this context, the actual game and its content have become pretty much irrelevant.

    BG3 is a professional industry-product. But it has almost nothing in common with the original 2 games. So what's the difference between BG 3 and the original two games which stayed in the memories of a whole generation of gamers?

    - BG 1+2: A personal journey with mysterious locations, epic tales, and legendary treasures to uncover. You start as a nobody that slowly gets involved in grander schemes while growing in power until your party fights the very gods that tried to exploit you. Pacing is great.
    - BG 3: A sequence of beautiful but arbitrary set pieces with random junk loot scattered around. The story starts with a bombastic climax as your lvl 1 party is already breaking out of a giant flying prison made out of tentacles.

    - BG 1+2: At its time an innovative and very fun combat system, "real time with pause", that translated the D&D rules to the computer medium and kept the narrative flowing while still providing a lot of tactical maneuverability because you could pause the action at any time.
    - BG 3: Common and generally slow turn-based system adapted from Divinity Original Sin where archdemons wait in line like orderly citizens.

    - BG 1+2: Charming and endearing characters with a wide range of personalities. Jon Irenicus as an iconic villain.
    - BG 3: In essence and in contrast to the supposed "uniqueness", the companions of BG3 act very trendy. The style is hip, the substance is square. A nod to mainstream fiction which is full of edgy antiheroes.

    - BG 1 + 2: Witty and nuanced high fantasy, reflections on the human condition and the thirst for power.
    - BG 3: Complete checklist of aggravatingly shallow identity politics, that fails to reflect that fiction can be more than just superficial representation without becoming reactionary. A disservice to truely progressive politics because of the heavy-handed moralizing involved.

    - BG 1+2: A gift by crazily talented people that wanted to share their passion.
    - BG 3: A fancy and stylized product based on a famous brand, made by industry experts.

    - BG 1+2: Ran on an average computer, just as Divinity Original Sin 2 which provided the engine for BG3.
    - BG3: Time to upgrade! Overpriced graphic cards have long enough been waiting for such an opportunity.

    After all these years, Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't change direction by building on its predecessors strengths, it rather escalates a sad trend by trying to assimilate the identity and brand of good old games while omitting most of the original's defining content.    … Expand

    I don't mind the turn-based combat system. My main criticism is that the game overall just doesn't feel like playing a BG game in the Forgotten Realms.

    Sadly, the developers have also failed in creating iconic companions. All companions I've met so far are so unlikeable that I'd prefer to wander the Sword Coast (which, by the way, looks like we're in California) alone. Besides, the NPCs are so exaggerated that you feel like you're playing a level 12 party that has been leveldrained back to level 1. Appearance, history, ambitions and abilities just don't match.

    In addition, there are numerous design decisions that dilute the D&D system for no reason, for example in character creation.

    There are so many game sequels out there that at least somehow attempt to capture the flair of their predecessors. Sudden Strike 4, Fallout 3&4 and recently Jagged Alliance 3 have been able to reproduce the feel of their prequels. In BG3, you get the feeling that the designers hardly cared about the originals.
    All in all, Baldur's Gate 3 feels like the little brother that tries to outrank its older siblings with cocky behavior and fails in direct comparison.    … Expand

    Baldur gate 3 is the Platinum standard for making rpg. True Rich experience which offers huge amount of content & replay value years to explore. Larian have literally made an anomaly rpg which will make other developers jealous how they did it. It's an phenomenon experience & if you are rpg player you should not miss out this experience in your life time.

    Wizard of the Coast had the good idea to give this licence to Larian, i was expecting a lot during the EA and i'm not disappointed at all, this what i could wait for a Baldur's Gate game. The turn based system is great even if it makes some things "easier" and i find it more tactical than the half real time of old BG.
    A great game with no doubt at all.

    One of the best games I have played recently. I have had an excellent time playing this game my one complaint is the camera controls at certain times I've had to battle the camera angles and control of it. Other than that this game is a masterpiece. Other then needing a few bug fixes which should be fixed in no time excellent game 9/10

    Baldur's Gate 3 is no difference, actually it is....it is a masterpiece! I'm still in Act I discovering tones of things and learning about my companions better. Even a random NPC's have something interesting to share!
    every time I step away from the game I start thinking about the story, what is next? why this is happening? who is behind this? where I should go next? you know the storytelling is damn good when you think about it when your pc is off.

    The game has some really wonderful aspects, but before buying really watch some streams to see if the turn based Xcom style combat is for you.

That's not a patchable thing either and it's like other Larian games. I think it's worth playing if you have hundreds of hours to explore the good stuff and overlook the janky aspects of the game. The character performances and models are top notch. I've found myself at times loving it and then I just face palm when a game in 2023 doesn't have a smart save feature.

    Larian have segmented their legacy as one of the greatest and most trustworthy developers of the modern day era. They are more like passionate gamers that know how to code.

    They listen, communicate and embrace their community in ways I wish other development studios would do. Sadly the corporate machine has crashed through the gaming landscape in recent times driving the soul and gamer driven ethos to near extinction in favour of corporate greed and lining the purse strings of the already wealthy.

    To me the most important thing Larian have achieved here is not just making an absolutely phenomenal game, but they have restored my faith that maybe the future landscape of gaming is not completely lost. Even if you don't like CRPG's, get behind this group of amazing developers, lead by an amazing leadership team. Show other companies that is ok to make games that don't try to squeeze every single drip of blood from the community in favour of making games driven by passion.

    Made by gamers for gamers. The way it should be.

    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.
