    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.

No missing quests because of exclusive deals. I am so tired of developers and studios being chopped up due to share holders. With all that said the game is actually good. It is packed full of quests and secrets and decisions.

    The game does not hold your hand. The game is a world full of impactful decisions. You want to be a paladin who stands for good and wants to squash all evil go for it, you better not make decisions that stray from that path. It actually makes you ROLEPLAY. It consumes you and makes you stay up late miss sleep and want more.

    ~400 people made Baldur's gate in less time than triple AAA titles. It released in a better state, and no microtransactions with less bugs. Compare this to a game that has a storied series on the 4th iteration with 9000 workers and 10 years in development.

    This is an absolute masterclass. Designed by quite possibly the most passionate and community sensitive development team I have seen for a long long time.

    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.

    Isn't that the real purpose of playing games, which is to have fun? Yes! And this creation can be finally called GAME. Thanks Larian! Loved your games but this one... is a masterpiece.

    Absolutely 10/10, only because I can't give more.

    SPOILER ALERT:
    Thanks also to the other big old studios, who are showing us how NOT to create real games made to entertain, showing us their real goal, which is sucking all our money (who said BIz...)
    Oh, and to those who say it's not a GOTY title, to those who say it's not a standard: hey, you are talking **** wash your mouth first. The other devs are just afraid of getting wiped out by a market made of players asking to go back to the "good standards" of 15-20 years ago, when a published game was finished and you didn't have to pay $1/1Euro more.

    The HYPE:

    The game is a rare combination of many good things, but it's definitely not perfect, nothing is.
    - AAA budget indie funding
    - Passionate developers
    - Talented developers
    - Experienced developers
    - Honest developers
    - Beloved IP

    Normally no more than 2 of the above come together, especially with how normal it has become for developers to sell their souls to cunning businessmen with no interest in games or people.

    The CRITICISM:

    I see a lot of criticism that it's just "DOS3" and not BG3.

    I grew up with BG1 and BG2 and really liked them, but the combat always bothered me. These games were made to be a DnD experience on the PC but the combat in DnD is turn-based, while the combat in BG1 and BG2 is an awkward blend of real-time and pausing.
    BG3 does DnD more justice in terms of combat.

    Likewise I can see the DOS2 DNA in BG3, but it is still a DnD game through and through that centers around the DnD city of Baldur's Gate, feeling a lot more matured and true to both previous BG games as well as DnD.

Les graphismes sont à couper le souffle, avec des détails minutieux dans chaque recoin du monde du jeu, que ce soit les paysages majestueux ou les créatures fantastiques.

    L'une des caractéristiques les plus impressionnantes de Baldur's Gate 3 est la profondeur de son système de jeu. Les mécanismes de combat sont stratégiques et stimulants, demandant aux joueurs de prendre en compte chaque action et chaque décision. Les classes, les compétences et les sorts sont variés et bien équilibrés, offrant une multitude d'options pour personnaliser l'approche de jeu.

    L'histoire du jeu est captivante et riche en rebondissements. Les quêtes sont bien conçues, avec des personnages auxquels on s'attache rapidement et des choix moraux difficiles qui influencent l'histoire de manière significative. L'écriture est brillante, mêlant habilement l'humour, le drame et l'épique pour créer une aventure inoubliable.

    Un autre aspect remarquable est l'attention portée aux détails et à l'interactivité. Chaque objet, chaque dialogue et chaque interaction contribuent à l'immersion du joueur dans le monde du jeu. Les choix du joueur ont de véritables conséquences, ce qui donne l'impression que le monde réagit réellement à ses actions.

    En outre, le jeu bénéficie d'une excellente prise en charge des mises à jour et de l'ajout de contenu, montrant l'engagement continu des développeurs à améliorer et à enrichir l'expérience de jeu.

    Baldur's Gate 3 réussit à équilibrer habilement les éléments classiques des RPG avec des améliorations modernes, offrant ainsi une expérience qui ravira tant les fans de longue date que les nouveaux venus dans le monde de Donjons et Dragons. En somme, c'est un titre qui brille par sa qualité exceptionnelle et qui mérite amplement les éloges pour sa contribution au monde du jeu de rôle."

    I was skeptical at first, as a longtime fan of BG and BG2, I didn't think Larian would do it justice. I didn't want it to be a Divinity Clone and the long period in early access made me more fearful. . however. .

    God damn if they didn't deliver a great game, with no **** I can't stop playing. . . This is one of those games we see once every 10 years. They even had two hotfixes out

    Definitely a 10 for me. I've been playing the early release for a while, and the upgrades in the full game release are phenomenal. If you ever wanted to play DnD alone, this is the game for you. Surprised to see some folks giving low scores/reviews just to "balance out" the score. Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Give it an honest review and make your case.

    BALDURS GATE IS TERRIBLE FOR GAME DEVELOPERS

    No longer will the game developers have an excuse for why their game sucks and is full of microtransactions. They have had their a** firmly handed to them by Larian Studios who is spanking them and asking "who is your daddy"?

    This is easily the best RPG that has released in 2 decades and you can tell was made with love, care, and genuine respect for gamers everywhere. With an amazing story that captivates you and has you constantly asking yourself what is happening behind the scenes, phenomenal companions that each feel like their own person who you want to learn everything about, to the streamlined mechanics that feel as smooth as butter.

    Other game developers should feel EMBARASSED that they have been so thoroughly outclassed. All AAA games by big studios should be on this level of quality, but their laziness and greed has held them back to the realm of mediocre. Shame on every large developer that isn't Larian Studios.

    A master piece. Only thing I don't like is the excess of humour ( too much undead NPCs in the city interacting with normal people like if this is a normal thing) and the music. The main theme of baldurs 3 is bad, not as epic as baldurs Gate 1 or baldurs Gate 2 main theme. That theme was memorable.

    I haven't played the original Baldur's Gate series, so I can't judge this game from this perspective, but I played Divinity (and completed it as well), so I can probably say if it is a good game or not, and the short answer is yes. This game is a huge step forward compared to previous Larian games in terms of cinematic quality, story telling, and the plot itself. But let's dive into theI haven't played the original Baldur's Gate series, so I can't judge this game from this perspective, but I played Divinity (and completed it as well), so I can probably say if it is a good game or not, and the short answer is yes. This game is a huge step forward compared to previous Larian games in terms of cinematic quality, story telling, and the plot itself. But let's dive into the review and speak in detail about all aspects of the game. First character creation (yeah, many people talk about it, but I also want to say my small part). Character creation in this game is not about a huge amount of sliders to create a detailed version of yourself or some celebrity (yeah, the boobs slider is missing), but this game is about picking the right class that will fit your race and also ability scores and backgrounds to create your own imbalanced hero of the DND world. That will also affect the variants of dialogs that will be available or not and, as a result, open or close possible ways to complete the whole game. Also, companionship is another important moment that can change as your playstyle and story change because each of them has their own class, race, background, and so on. As a result, even at the start of a game, there can be many layers of complexity that can intimidate players (or not, if you're kind of lazy). Plot branching is another key aspect that can be enjoyed by casual good-story lovers. You can be a bad guy who just wants to get some money or a hero who can save the world (or destroy it because it's funny). Additional features that can increase immersion are good cinematics with excellent graphics, and all of the dialogs are voiced. The gameplay part is similar to previous games (Divinity), except that all your actions need a dice drop. D20? D6? D4? You take all of them. In all other aspects, gameplay is based on the character that you created and used. Yes, it can be simple RMB clicks on enemies or various combinations of spells used to defeat them. The sound part is also a great part of the game; the music is well suited to actions on the screen, and the final musical theme also has good sound. In the final part, let's talk about some issues or bugs that I noticed during my playthrough. Minor visual artifacts in cutscenes closer to the final part of the game are OK; just compare it to the first half that does not contain bugs (thanks to early access) so that problem will be fixed. Another bug is more complicated and related to enemy AI that cun stuck and during the combat just stand and dont do any actions yeah its ok and make battles more easily but it increase time as well because game try to make enemy attack but them desagree with game and just stand and take our time. The last part is kind of strange: there is a moment in the game (trying to tell it without spoilers) where you can refuse the help of a character and say that you're going to do it in another way, and your companion can say that you use an item to rescue another character (and what strange things she can say even if you don't have this item), so in case you don't have the required item, you can get stuck in a location because you don't have it and refuse the offer of another charter, so the one solution is to reload the previous save. So to whom will I recommend this game? Probably to everyone who is not scared of turn-based combat and wants a very well-crafted story with various ways to be told. Expand

    A sheer masterpiece of a game. A true project of passion that respects gamers time, money, and desire for quality. Nearly every aspect of this game is evidence of a love for the craft as opposed to overt greed via bare minimum aspiration.

    This game is gorgeous, and the environments are varied. The companions are fascinating and extremely interesting and likeable. Itemization is great, its actually fun to find magic items and learn about all the neat things they can do. Freedom of choice is interwoven in to the very fabric of every fork in the road. Combat is a bit slow, but extremely fun and interesting. They nailed the feeling of 5E D&D. The game is mind-boggingly repayable as every narrative choice has the potential of profoundly changing entire outcomes of the game as you play on.

    In an age where everything needs to have a shallow battle pass progression system, overpriced cosmetic store, pay-to-win MTX, and treadmill gaming where you feel like you're going in circles without any actual meaningful content to make it worthwhile, this game feels like an absolute unicorn, and it's sad, because just 15-20 years ago, this type of game was the expected norm.

    Of course no game is perfect, and there are some minor blemishes here, but I honestly wish I could give this game 11/10. Larian deserves it, and the game industry needs to take note. I sure hope they keep hitting it out of the park. They feel like the old Blizzard and Bioware used to feel like when every game release was a massive legendary banger.

    Do yourself a favour and buy this game, and while you're at it go back and try the Divinity Series as they are also fantastic.

    Baldur’s Gate III is completely the opposite and it took me several hours to get a decent handle on the mechanics of the game. And what I mean is that this game is so much more than just a CRPG with a good story and very advanced combat system.

    It’s an amazing story and numerous side quests, a point and click adventure, a true D&D roll playing game with dice rolls on the screen, a deep tactical strategy game and all set to an amazing score and better than average graphics.

    I am actually surprised that there are not some negative reviews only because it is not a quick play or easy to get far into in a couple of hours. I think that’s a testament to the story telling and how even though complex, players are compelled to keep playing to see what’s next.

    It allows me to do everything in DnD that is inconvenient in actual play, that makes you feel like you are your character. Endless environmental combat options, pushing people off cliffs, meaningful disarms, using JUMP AND HIDE in a systematic and effective way. If you don't enter real time mode and hit a trap, IT FEELS LIKE A TRAP. Not "reflex save". No, you are gonna die if you don't toggle right now.

    The first act's pacing is immersive, meaningful evil characters with realistic motives and culture. The ability to make hard meaningful choices, and you aren't forced to choose between being purely good or evil in a linear fashion like in most games.

    My only and singular complaint about the game is wishing there was a way to enable faster walking speeds like a 1.5,2x button for basic walking, at least in towns or safe areas without enemies or traps.

    This game pushes boundaries with freedom, choice, consequences, and complete in its entirety; no DLC. This was the game quality I had hoped Diablo IV was. Take notes Blizzard, EA, and the other companies who used to produce a quality product and over the past 10 years completely lost base with their customers.

    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.
