    I absolutely loved this game. It reminds me of the old bioware games like dragon age origins. I loved this game. I am excited about what comes next.

    Anyway, the game itself is shallow and filled with bugs from the very beginning. If you enjoy D&D, you can overlook the story, characters and bugs. I'm not sure if you can overlook the awful adaptation of combat though. Or the long rest system.

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

From world itself across battle system as a classic D&D and last but not least the music which is so good it really takes you into battlefield. There is so much freedom in this game that when you think if some of your idea works, you can try it and in most cases it works alhtrough in good way or bad way

    Within the first 3 hours of the game you can subjugate a creature via lobotomy, stomp on a giant squids head, murder a squirrel, have a snake bite a child, push a gnome down a cliff, and headbutt a vampire,

    150 hours later and you're assembling pieces of a clowns body parts as if you're trying to summon Exodia the forbidden one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is one of the best CRPGs ever- plenty to see, do, experience and think about.
    The only Con that I see, imho, is that the game is always stressing you out- death by tadpole, death by curse, refugees running, death by companion death, death by brain, death by Emperor... in no particular order. I remember entering Athkatla and having some time feeling free exploring. You can certainly explore in BG3, but you never feel at ease. The bomb is always there, ready to explode!
    Apart from that, what a joy to see a secsy Minsc and a stressed out Jaheira. Some puzzles and fights are prepared in an exciting way, the story is well narrated with some excellent character design and some scenes will always live rent free in my head. I also like how some areas remind of the glory of religious design in Bg2 (the Umberlee temple). 120h in and I'm looking forward to replay as the Dark Urge when I'm done with the 1st run. Some bugs here and there but this game is definitely an artistic achievement that should be celebrated. I'd wish for Larian to repeat this joyous achievement!

I haven't felt so obligated to help an NPC in a long time =D
    This game is unique, the amount of ways to progress and master battles is incredible.
    The feature saving and loading the game and that has pros and cons in my eyes, but even that is still great.
    I give this game

    100 /100 Chocos

    Pro:
    ______
    - endless story

    -You really get immersed in the game and have to think about what you're doing.

    -Actions have consequences, that's so awesome

    - Tactics are required in battles

    - The music is very good, the first time I turn up the BGM ( -The map design is insane and the fact that everything about the map has a purpose and there is fast travel and 1,000 secrets to find.

    -Multiclassing

That, along with the goodwill they rightful earned, is why they have been given a pass by most gamers. Whether thats right or wrong, you tell me.

    The story and character development ranges in quality from mediocre to masterful. The combat is very fun even though i dislike pretty much every turn based game. Theres so many options for player choice in build, execution and agency that it can be overwhelming (at least in the class i chose). I think ill give more crpgs a chance and thats a great compliment to Larian.

    Any review complaining about "wokeness" can be disregarded as political whining. Larian made the game they wanted to thats not full of microtransactions and thats what i want from devs. I'm glad Larian was in the position to be able to deliver that to us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely brilliant. The visuals are breathtaking, the voice acting is superb, the quests are interesting and the characters are (for the most part) well written. The dialogue ranges anywhere from sweet to heartbreaking to downright hilarious and the freedom of choice is more in depth than any other game I've played. The only reason I can't give it a 10 is that I feel the endings are a little bit rushed, in fact all of act 3 feels rather incomplete. I would've liked more fleshed out epilogues with all my companions. I spent so long with them, they genuinely feel like friends and then they're just gone. The abruptness of it all leaves me feeling empty.
    Even so, you can tell this game was made with love in every aspect. It shows clearly in each facet of the game and it's the most fun I've had with a game in years.    … Expand

    Makes turn-based combat interesting by giving it a verticality not often found in other turn-based combat games.

At the time of the game's release, both I and my friends had almost no bugs. Optimization did not cause complaints. Interesting and thoughtful characters, beautiful and thoughtful locations. Decisions have an impact on the progress of the game. There is always a desire to start the game from the beginning to try to pass this or that place in a different way or with a different hero.
    The plot is interesting and works with the player very well. It allows you to read a few steps ahead and build your own guesses and theories, which adds to the intrigue - did I guess right?
    The combat system is what you would expect from a game like this and from DnD. Yes, some battles may take a long time, but at the same time, they require you to think more, require more creativity. And they are sincerely rewarded for it. The game is worth your time and attention. The game is worth the money. I currently, for me, this is the number one contender for the title of Game of the Year.
    Of course, if your computer does not meet the system requirements, if your hardware is outdated, you may have some problems. But this is by no means a problem with the game (my friends played the game on weak PCs without any bugs at minimum settings).
    Of course, this game will not be suitable for those who do not like to strain their brains, for those who are used to one-button gameplay (hello, Diablo fans), for those who are used to primitive gameplay (like popular shooters).
    For these people, the game will be too difficult and it will cause a negative reaction (below there are already reviews from such people :) )
    For players who are not familiar with this genre of games, it is better to take something a little simpler for familiarization, the earlier games Larian or Dragon Age, and only then return to BG 3.

Multiple bugs and glitches that are getting fixed but still weren't fixed at the launch of the game. Act 3 was the worst in terms of them. Optimal optimization is fine but storyline that actually is very linear and the game that doesn't bring anything new besides DnD 5 version to the market. Storyline is somewhat good at the start but starts to get worse after a while, especially with characters... I didn't like a lot about it but there is a lot of good things, including graphics, textures, somewhat good optimization at the start.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an enchanting journey that has captured my heart with its captivating world, rich characters, and immersive storytelling.

The characters are not mere NPCs, but companions with their own unique personalities, stories and quests, whichBaldur's Gate 3 is an enchanting journey that has captured my heart with its captivating world, rich characters, and immersive storytelling. From the moment I stepped foot into the lush landscapes of Faerun, I was entranced by the attention to detail and the depth of the lore. The characters are not mere NPCs, but companions with their own unique personalities, stories and quests, which made forging connections and forming relationships an integral part of the experience.

    The game's mechanics are a testament to its dedication to Dungeons & Dragons' roots. The intricate dice-based combat system is a delight, offering endless strategies and tactical challenges that kept me engaged for hours on end. The blend of classic RPG elements with modern graphics creates an exciting and immersive atmosphere that's hard to resist.

    However, for all its brilliance, Baldur's Gate 3 stumbles on its path to perfection. The bug-infested landscape of the game mars what could have been an otherwise seamless experience. Glitches, crashes, and odd AI behavior often pulled me out of the immersion, forcing me to pause and restart, disrupting the otherwise captivating flow. For example, one time returning to my camp, one of my companions wished to talk to me. Upon initiating conversation with them, i was scolded by them for a decision I had yet to make, or even have any knowledge of, so a future decision and event was spoiled for me. The companions also all seem to fall in love too easily with the main character, and certain companions never seemed to understand that i wasn't interested in them. After forming a romance with my chosen companion, another said something along the lines of "I see you've chosen someone else" when i never had a romance with that companion in the first place. Things like these add to the frustration and I found them immersion breaking.

    The most significant disappointment lies in Act 3, which feels alarmingly rushed, incomplete and unoptimised with frame rate issues. The promising buildup of the first two acts loses its momentum, and it's painfully clear that there's substantial cut content. Questlines that were hinted at are suddenly left hanging, and the narrative threads become tangled in a way that's difficult to ignore. It's a frustrating experience that makes you wonder if the developers were pressed for time.

    One thing I can't understand is the prevalence of glowing 10/10 reviews. While the potential for a masterpiece is clearly present, the abundance of technical issues and the abrupt, unsatisfying conclusions in Act 3 make it hard to comprehend such high scores. It's disheartening to see these glaring flaws overshadowed by praise, as if the game's issues are somehow invisible.

    In the end, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that I truly loved playing, and I was genuinely invested in its world and characters. The foundation is undeniably strong, but the bugs and the rushed, incomplete third act prevent it in my opinion from ascending to the ranks of gaming masterpieces. A 7/10 rating feels fitting, acknowledging the brilliance while recognizing the need for improvements. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in future patches, which Larian is known to do.    … 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.
