    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is really average.
    Graphics is good for an isometric game.
    The story seems good at the beginning of the game but become dumb from mid to the end, especially for act 3.
    It seems act 3 was rushed and infact is really poor.
    Also there are plenty of gamebreaking bug that feels like cyberpunk was a gem at the release, i find mysekt too much time with a result in the game but the journal say a complete difference thing, like saving and npc, leave the area and discover that in the journal the very same npc was dead with no reason.

    Also its a sum the fact that you habe countless output on how we end end the diffeeebt secondary quest for the end of game, helpimg a group or a person could only mean that you had a bonus for the endgamequest. The only quest woth mentioning is the final fight in the house of hope, the song is marvellous.    … Expand

    My first time playing a fantasy RPG (other than AC Odyssey and Vallhala). I decided to try this game because someone online said that if you love Mass Effect, you need to try it because the companions, the story and the lore are of the same standard that Bioware has set if not better.
    I was a bit sceptical at the start since Mass Effect is sci-fi and I love space plus the combat for    My first time playing a fantasy RPG (other than AC Odyssey and Vallhala).

    I was a bit sceptical at the start since Mass Effect is sci-fi and I love space plus the combat for Baldur's Gate at first seemed meh and odd.
    Anyway once I started playing, I was not disappointed! the characters, the lore and the gameplay though it looked simple are quite complex and interesting. The best part is that your actions and choices make a huge impact on the ending and how the game treats you going forward.
    I had a good experience with Mass Effect's choices but this game nailed it to perfection.
    Still playing the game and loving it. Definitely a game that I recommend playing at least twice as there are so many pathways that can't be explored in just a single play-through.
    This game has set a new standard for RPGs, the complexity of companions, the impact of choices that REALLY make you feel in control, the fun combat and the list goes on.

    Overall 10/10.    … Expand

    Larian Studio has proven to the industry that is possible to make a huge, refined and completed game without microtransactions. I enjoyed it even if I dont usually like turn based combat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this game was really good at first but overtime the cracks really began to show. I spent most of my play-through trying to get rid of my tadpole only to find out online that there is no way to actually get rid of it. You have to play with it whether you like it or not, and I wouldn't be nearly as upset about this if the game didn't imply that there was a way to remove it multiple times only to pull the rug out at the last minute, this is the illusion of choice.

    I also overlooked a lot of issues with the game but in the final stretch they become impossible to ignore. Shallow story, badly written characters, and game breaking bugs have eroded what I liked about this game in the first few hours of play. The ending is awful and your choices don't matter in the end.    … Expand

I don‘t actually have the time to play that much, but I kinda abandoned my friends, family and (even) work somehow, for this game. A sacrifice, this game is more than worth.

    Even though I'm not an RPG player, during my 140 hours of gameplay, I was able to thoroughly enjoy everything the game had to offer. The story was captivating from beginning to end, and every nook and cranny I explored held its own little surprises and hidden details just waiting to be uncovered.

    It was worth every penny of the purchase.

    I was really hyped for this game. After spending many hours playing BG1, BG2, NN1 and NN2 my excitement for BG3 was unreal and sadly I was disappointment. Do not take me wrong the game in itself is great and the systems are really well done, but this game is missing this tiny little spark that was present in other big D&D/Forgotten realms games.

Do not take me wrong the game in itself is great and the systems are really well done, but this game is missing this tiny little spark that was present in other big D&D/Forgotten realms games.

    I was wondering for a long time why I can not stick with this game and I tried to love it really hard. I then realized that even though there is so much to do in the game your choices are awfully streamlined and don't seem to have major impact. No matter what you do the game leads you to victory. Mess up your build no worries reset away destroying any RP element there is. Characters creation? Pick whatever race you want there is no disadvantages just extra perk to complement whatever you are trying to build. Same for your background story its just a pure stat boost you are not sacrificing anything to gain advantage in something else. Your character is build to be perfect and sure you can still mess things up but really its far from punishing.

    Combat ? Sure the foundation is decent but sadly its not for me. I do not like how the game focuses so much on environmental damage. Place bunch of explosive barrels around your enemies and blow them up. Yeah sounds cool at first until you realize your stats, equipment and skill play little part in combat once you figure this out. All previous BG and NN games are all about picking the right setup, finding the right gear and adjusting your characters to handle any combat situation. Sadly BG3 is so badly balanced in that regards that if you do not use those environmental advantages you will struggle and I honestly dont find the aspect of this game fun.

    Overall its a great game but not a great BG game in my opinion. It really is missing out on a lot of aspects that made the original games great and I believe its significantly over hyped for what it is and should have been just called Divinity Original Sin 3.    … Expand

    Not sure why this game gets so much praise. Boring companions, generic plot, plodding and frustrating combat that offers nothing new. There's an illusion of choice, but a lot of the big decisions stayed the same no mater how what choices I made. It's clear a lot of effort went into it, but it's an average rpg at best.

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

I for one am an avid fan of D&D and have spent hours writing backstories or characters I never will play because I love the fantasy world. BG3 gives me absolutely everything I could ever want from a D&D video game, choices do matter despite other reviews saying they do not (they have not played long enough to feel the impacts). The game is not perfect, it does need technical improvements especially in act 2 and 3 but if you want to the Dungeons and Dragons and don't have a group to play with, well this game is everything you could want. Now I understand this type of game is not for everyone, for example I absolutely hate every first person shooter in every form but some of those games are well liked by millions of people however it is simply not a type of game I enjoy, everyone has their preferences. The Final Fantasy remake removed the turn based combat and I hated it and stopped playing within an hour, it is not a bad game, in fact is a beautiful well designed game but it is not for me. BG3 tells an engaging story that you need to invest time into, I am not on my second playthrough because there are so many choices I want to change to see how the story unfolds. I have already bought this game 3 times and would pay full price every time I start a new playthrough, that is how much I love this game but Larian did the unthinkable and made this game 100% offline and DRM free with so many meaningful side quests that you would not see unless you explore the zones. We literally get side quests from speaking to animals (fully voiced by the way) but easily missed as it isn't required to progress the story. This takes me back to my comment about investing time. I appreciate the level of detail put into expanding almost every NPC's backstory. Do you want to know what happened to that one NPC you saved back in act 1? Well find them again in act 3 and find out, might not be as exciting as instant gratifying demon slaying in Diablo but I want to know that NPC's story. Again this is everything I ever wanted in a video game because it is for gamers like me. You want COD go play COD that is for you not for me.… Expand

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

    100 hours later and finishing the game I find myself in a similar state that I felt when I finished reading a good book or watching a fantastic show—the joy of completion yet the desire of wanting more. Larian has created yet another masterpiece of an RPG that not only has engaging gameplay but a story that kept me entranced and forgetting that it's 3 AM on a weekday. I am truly happy to be able to experience it.

    It's not perfect, bugs and imperfections exist; from random models T-Posing, certain cutscenes not playing, weird AI pathing, companion approval bugs, etc, but I have faith that Larian will be able to tackle and resolve these bugs. For my playthrough, I was fortunate enough to have had no gaming-breaking bugs, and I'm already eager to jump in for my 2nd playthrough.

After playing for more 100 hours you can feel that the ending is really underwhelming and missing. I think the reason for that is they had to release it a month earlier due to starfield. I am not sure when but they will probably make the ending better(probably within this year). Act 1 and Act 2 really increases your expectations about the ending but when you come to act 3 you become very disappointed. I would still recommend the game though because it is very fun to play.

    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.    … 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.
