    Baldur's Gate 3 is a return to an era of gaming that is all but extinct in today's AAA world. No micro-transactions, a working game with full content at release, and obvious love from the developers poured in to it. It's not often that I can play a game with actual soul anymore.

    What's more, coming off of Diablo 4, it's refreshing to play a game that remembers when games used to be fun.

    What's more, coming off of Diablo 4, it's refreshing to play a game that remembers when games used to be fun.

    For CRPG fans, RPG fans, and even people who don't typically follow the genre, it's impossible to overstate the appeal of this game. It hits on every criteria one can use to judge a game. The game play is fun, inventive, and dynamic. The story line is engrossing and original while very approachable. The voice acting is professional and demanding. The graphics are beautiful.

    I'm gushing, I know, but this is a game that doesn't just redefine its genre or compete for GOTY in a year with several great titles, it is the new paradigm for a a generation of gaming, much in the same way that Skyrim was. RPGs for the next decade will be compared to this one.

    Highly recommended. Everything I could hope for from an RPG and as someone who grew up playing the BG and BG2 this game despite being different does them justice. It the best translation of modern DnD to a game by far as far as I know. Great presentation as well, acting, visuals, music, all top tier.

    I noped out of EA about 1 hour in as I knew it would be my jam...but this, this is just next level.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muazzam. Harikulade. 135 saat süren, her anında büyük keyif veren, her yerine girip her şeyi yapmaya çalışsam da muhtemelen hala kaçırdığım şeyleri olan, devasa ama bir o kadar da incelikli bir iş.

    Evladiyelik bir oyun. 2 yılda bir tekrar oynamalık. Bambaşka karakterlerle ve seçimlerle ilerleyerek tekrar tekrar deneyimlenecek bir iş.

    Oyunun en etkileyici yanı seçimler, bunların sayısı, oyunun dünyasını, gidişatı ve karakterleri etkileme derecesi. Daha önce hiçbir rpg'de seçimlerin bu derece mühim olduğunu görmedim. Divinity Original Sin II bile bu seviyede değildi diye hatırlıyorum. Sadece iyi ve kötü rp yapmak da değil mesele ki o yönden de sızı sayısız defa sınıyor. Mesela Işık Hanı diye bir yer vardı, orayı koruyan Isobel diye bir büyücü var. Düşmanlar onu kaçırmak için baskın düzenlediler. Savaşı kaybettiğimde, karanlıktaki tek sığınak olan bu han harabe oldu, içindekiler kötüye dönüştü, Isobel gitti. Oyun epey değişti yani. Araya öyle güzel ara sahne girince oyun icabıydı galiba, bu savaşı kazanmam mümkün değildi diye düşündüm. Sonra oyunun rpg seviyesine gücenmeye karar verdim ve savaşı tekrarladım. Zor da olsa bir kaç denemenin sonunda kızı kaçırmalarını engelledim. Neticede han ve içindekiler sağlıklı kaldı. Hakikaten takdir edilesi bir dizayn. Buna benzer sürüyle şey var.

    Oyun boyunca yanımızda olan companion'lar da şahane tasarlanmış. Hepsinin kendisine özgü bir karakteri, bir problemi var. Oyunun başından sonuna kadar devam eden, ara ara kırılmalar yaşanan, inişleri çıkışları olan, dallanıp budaklanan ve sonunda da çok sağlam finaller yapan görev dizileri var. Hepsiyle beraber olmaktan, bu macerada beraber dövüşmekten büyük keyif aldım. Çoğu, hep hatırlayacağım karakterler.

    Oyunun dünyası çok geniş, onlarca farklı ırk, bunların hikayeleri ve kendilerine özgü özellikleri var. Benim her zamanki gibi en çok ilgimi çeken şeytanlar oldu. Özel sözleşmelerle size güç bahşeden ama her zaman niyetlerinin altında bir piçlik yatan, Doğu mistisizmine bürünmüş iblisler. Burada bir kaç tanesiyle karşılaştık, sözleşme yaptık ve öldürdük. Çok karizmatik karakterler gerçekten.

    Oyun sizi sürekli yan yollara sapmaya teşvik ediyor. Her köşe bucakta ya ilgi çekici bir hikaye ve görev, ya başka bir görev için kritik bir eşya, ya değişik bir karakter ya da sizi güçlendirecek zırh silah vesaire buluyorsunuz. Bu bakımdan oyunun harita tasarımını da çok beğendim. Neredeyse souls oyunları kadar bölgeler birbirlerine bağlı. Alakasız yerlerden girip ummadığım yerlerden çıktığım çok oldu.

    Combat'ın taktikselliği ve çeşitlliği de gayet iyi. Normal saldırılara ek olarak, kısa dinlenme ya da uzun dinlenme sonrası yenilenen saldırılarınız da var. Yani elimdeki en güçlü şeyle vurayım diyemiyorsunuz. Sonraki savaşları düşünmeniz gerekiyor biraz. Özellikle de istediğiniz zaman kamp yapamadığınız düşman bölgelerinde.

    Ben her zamanki partimi kurdum. Kendim damage veren büyücü oldum. İkna yeteneğim vesaire epey yüksekti. Önüme Karlach'ı bir tank gibi konumlandırdım ama dev kılıcyla iyi hasar da veriyordu. Lae'zel ise yine dev kılıçlı ama biraz daha az canlı fakat yüksek hasarlıydı. Astarion ise rogue olarak uzaktan ve aralardan sinsice takılıyordu. Kendi görevleri olmadığı sürece diğer karakterleri gruba dahil etmedim ki her dahil ettiğimde ekibin dengesi bozuldu.

    Oyun boyunca yardım ettiğiniz önemli npc'ler ve gruplarda istediğiniz taktirde son savaşta müttefik olarak size yardım ediyor. Yaptığınız şeylerin karşılığını görmek güzel. Aylin Hanımı hiç unutmayacağım.

    Savşların yapıldığı alanlar da taktikselliğe uygun şekilde tasarlanmış. Sürekli farklı şeylerle mücadele etmek durumunda kalıyorsunuz.

    Bulmacalar tam sevdiğim kıvamda, çok az.

    Görevleri yapmanın her zaman birden fazla yolu var. Oyun bazen hiçbirisini göstermiyor, zamanla siz keşfediyorsunuz. Bazen de bir tanesini gösteriyor ama siz dünyayı keşfedip npc'ler ile konuştukça diğer yolar açığa çıkıyorlar.

    Oyunun görselliği diğer izometrik rpg oyunlarına göre çok çok iyi. Büyü efektleri ve animasyonlar çok gerçekçi görünüyor. Ama asıl ayırıcı özelliği her konuşmaya ara sahne ve seslendirme, oyunculuk kasılmış olması. Diğer crpg'ler gibi text üzerinden ilerlemiyor. sanki Witcher 3 oynuyormuşsunuz gibi hissediyorsunuz. Bu kalibrede bir yapımcı için muazzam iş hakikaten. Ve hepsi çok iyi kotarılmış.

    Sonuçta 9/10 veya 10/10 vereceğimi daha çıkmadan biliyordum ama bazı açılardan benim bile beklentilerimi aştı. Oynadığım en iyi bir kaç oyundan birisi ancak bazı açılardan (seçimler ve hikayeye yön verme) en iyisi. Teşekkürler ve tebrikler Larian Studios.    … 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 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.

I truly appreciate the hard work that went into this game, it's a breath of fresh air.

    The AAA games that have been coming out these last few years are disappointing at best. With Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok being exceptions. Studios like Ubisoft, Activision, EA, and Bethesda have been putting out some really lackluster games. That's not the studio's fault, it's the executives that only want to make a profit from these games. And it's EXTREMELY prevalent. I hope this game's success shows those companies what we want out of a $80-$90 game. (CAD$)

    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game. If only action RPG appeals you just head your way, otherwise it's best turn based RPG of the decade by far (sorry Pillar of Eternity or Divinity) . For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.

For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for the same category.
    Been playing in early access for while, and now the final game has shipped.
    in a nutshell

    Pros
    - Turn based tactical RPG with all the best features of that genre,
    - environnement interaction is top notch (fights are much more vertical that can be expected),
    - they stayed true to the Table top RPG AD&D and lore
    - Graphical AD&D eye candy and artstyle.
    - Lots and I say lots of RPG dialogue with choices, implications and consequences.
    - All your NPC can die and has more or less an impact on the story.
    - I felt like the whole "Beast and fiends" creatures were in the game.
    - Rolling the dice is so satisfying, If the game could use connected dices I would buy them.
    - Group management is very good (inventory, roster management...)
    - Multiplayer like in your good old table top game.
    - Music are epic and in the best of the genres.
    - Campaign length is really nice and not over-stuffed by filler fetch quests that sucks
    - Super replayability (I have restarted during the early access, and the prologue was rather different, based on NPC that died or not..)

    Cons
    - Cameras management could be better.
    - a little bit laggish on my intel i12 12900k + RTX4090 (but not frame rate issue) just a overall feel.
    - Still some very minor graphical glitches
    - IA is kinda meh...
    - Abandon hope of social interactions IRL once your sucked into for about 100 hours
    - Kinda tough where you're low level and if you have lost experience playing with level 1 characters for a while on AD&D.
    - UX is not fully intuitive at first but once you get the hang of it, that's pretty fluid

    This game is a monster in all categories and is currently my game of the year.
    It definitely has that "generation-defining" feel.    … Expand

    Not having Micro Transactions (and not wanting them) ALONE makes this at least an 8. This IS the new standard for an RPG. It's amazing that a company can actually make promises and actually deliver. 30 hours into the game and I'm still in ACT 1....amazing! There is SOOOO much to do in this game. You get XP for Dialog Choices, Killing or for not killing. You actually get to shape your own story.

    No microtransactions, an actual finished and bug free experience, this is what ALL games should be at, as a basic standard, every other dev team should aim for this as there basic standard. GOTY for sure, even if its not your thing just enjoy a complete game at launch for the first time in 20 years

    There are things you can get addicted to: Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, sugar....NONE of these are even remotely as addictive as: Baldur's Gate 3. I had no idea what Dungeons and Dragons was. I've never played games of that category before. IT'S A REVELATION! THIS is gaming at its purest. I love it! Tip: Play it with the gamepad! It plays wonderfully. Like a 3rd person game. Soooo awesome!

    CRPG on an extreme high level. Story telling is insanely good, voiceovers are stunning. Combat is good (even if turn based is just not everybodys cup of tea), the companions are really nice and interesting. Of course, the game still has some bugs, but I haven't encountered any game breakers. But Larian works hard on fixing issues, much harder than bigger companies.

    BG3 has even more potential: 1-3 more origin characters with different backgrounds (like a half-orc, dwarf, halfling), the content cut from the game, especially in act 3. I'm not much into pre-ordering, but I would order a DLC just now even without knowing about it. For some years, I had not much fun in gaming - the last game I had fun with was vanilla WoW Classic, but now with BG3 I could play the whole weekend :-) if you are into story based RPGs and don't mind turn-based combat, I can recommend this awesome game to you.    … Expand

And I'm looking forward to remember my time in BG3 in the same way. Only thing bothering me is the fact that I can't get the BG1 soundtrack out of my had and Larian actually didn't use any part of that.… Expand

After playing the Divinity: Original Sin games, I was so happy to hear that Larian Studios would be making BG3 and they have done the franchise proud in my opinion. It has been a long time since I was this invested in an RPG.

    I often find myself loosing interest in these massive, sprawling RPGs after about 50 hours but I see no sign of that happening with BG3, even after 80/90 hours of my playthrough so far. I still can't wait to get back to adventuring tonight. Skyrim was probably the last RPG to hold my interest that long.

    You can tell this was a labor of love for the developers. So much detail and content has been crammed into every corner of the game world. You can get lost for hours exploring a single dungeon. Take a side tunnel from that dungeon and you could find yourself on another, hours long quest to find and ancient artifact or something similar.
    Even the side quests have interesting, well written stories behind them, a lot of which tie into the main plot in some way. This is refreshing given that most modern RPGs have only simple side quests (fetch/kill, rinse/repeat) that feel shoe-horned into the games just to make them longer, none of that with BG3!

    Graphically BG3 is really beautiful. The open, rural areas look lush and crammed with detail and each dungeon has its own art style and architecture. Some of the below ground locations like ***MINOR SPOILER*** The Grymforge and The Gauntlet of Shar are stunning! I can't wait to get to the city to take a look.

    The characters and voice acting have all been superb. The playable characters each have their own backstory and questlines, which are again, all interesting in their own right. They all have their own agenda and point of view regarding what is happening in the overarching story, and interactions with NPCs can play out very differently depending on who is in your party at the time. Sometimes with hilarious or unexpected outcomes. It all adds to the richness of the game and provides replay value because there is no way you can see all the possible party, NPC and player character interactions in a single playthrough. If anything it can be a bit much, trying to keep up with the party members sub-plots along side the main plotline, but i cant really complain about too much content when the content is of such high quality.

    There are a couple of things which could do with refining. For example, Inventory management and swapping in/out characters from the party can be a bit of a chore and frustrating. There really should be an option to see and interact with the inventories of characters that are not currently in the party. For me this has been the most poorly implemented part of the game.
    The spellbook UI is also poorly done in my opinion and the game doesn't provide enough of an explanation of how it works. Not a problem for experienced cRPG players that are used to the D&D style, but for newer players it must be very confusing. I may be wrong but i dont think it is explained anywhere that, certain spellcasting classes can change spells at will using the spellbook while other classes have to wait for level up.
    However given the commitment the devs have shown and the speed at which hotfixes and patches are coming these things will probably get sorted at some point, if not by the devs, then by the modding community.

    BG3 will definitely not appeal to everyones tastes though. If you can't go 2 minutes without shooting something or without something exploding, this game would probably not be for you. This is a long form adventure best enjoyed at a slow pace so you can really soak up the atmosphere and lore.

    I think BG3 goes to show what can be done when you have a passionate, creative team with equally passionate management and they are allowed to express their creativity through their art, rather than being hobbled by deadlines, shareholder expectations, MTX mechanics and other such corporate BS.
    I really hope some of the big AAA devs (you know, the ones that spend as much as the entire budget of BG3 just on marketing their next garbage, money spinner), take note of what has been done here.

    Does it have a few issues? Yes.
    Is it a perfect game? No. (There is no such thing)
    Does it deserve the hype and the critical acclaim? Yes!!    … Expand

    Melhor jogo do ano. Estou com 60h do jogo e ainda estou no ato 1 curtindo cada canto do jogo. Dá de perceber que a empresa colocou muito carinho nesse jogo.

    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.
