    Sou um enorme fã de RPG e honestamente esse é o melhor RPG que eu já joguei na vida, o fato dele emular d&d de forma tão perfeita chega a me emocionar e me dar uma nostalgia braba, pra melhorar eles melhoraram muito os sistemas de algumas coisas que não funcionavam no tabletop, tá gostoso demais jogar esse jogo e acredito que vá seguir assim sempre, recomendo mt

    This is a true masterpiece RPG, definitely a Game of the Year contender. Really difficult to stop playing once you have started.

    I've played the last two Larian Studios Games tactical games, and it's just so refreshing see how well they upgraded and changed their formula for this new game. I was so sure that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom would steal Game of the Year, until I played this, the 2023 gaming industry has shocked me again with another home-run success.

    The voice acting, story, cinematics, gameplay, and the control to the player, are by far the best I've seen in a game.

    It's been so entertaining watching the bitter Dragon Age developers cry and moan about Baldur's Gate 3 on Twitter, knowing that they will never reach the heights of BG3, and that the past 15 years of their development, turning a turn-based rpg into an uninspired action rpg was all for waste. The people have spoken; the second age of turn based tactical rpgs is here, and it is Baldur's Gate 3!    … Expand

    BEST Game of 2023 for PC. Perhaps best game of tenth anniversary for PC. Thank you Larian from all fans of DnD, Baldur's Gate series and CRPG fans! BRAVO!

    Never has been so much detail and content compacted into a single game. The Dev team really did an incredible job. I would never believe such ambitious project was ever possible

    Masterpiece. Game of the decade.

NO gamer is going to expect Baldur's Gate 3 level of games from any Indie developer, but we WILL be EXPECTING it from all of the big budget triple A developers like EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, Blizzard and others FROM NOW ON. Because Baldur's Gate 3 has once again PROVEN that great games CAN be made WITHOUT microtransactions, WITHOUT massive day one patches, WITHOUT horrific glitches, bugs and being an unfinished mess. So other developers now have ZERO excuses not to match BG3 in terms of game quality, gameplay and polish. Larian studios is now the industry STANDARD on how to make a good game and has proven that it's NOT impossible to make a good game and STILL remain within the $60 price tag. They have PROVEN all the other studios to be LIARS that just want to do less work, with less effort, for more money. As far as I'm concerned Larian games has my UTMOST CONFINDENCE AND TRUST with games. From now on when Larian comes out with a game, i dont even NEED to ask if they worked hard on it, for me it's "shut up and take my money". I can't sing their praises enough on Baldur's Gate 3 and i hope the absolute BEST for them moving forward. And if BG3 wasn't enough, Swen Vincke went and turned down Microsoft on their offer to buy Larian games. Which in my book was a total GIGACHAD move on his part...LOL! 10 out of 10, if i could give it an 11, i would.… Expand

    It has been eight long years since I was last filled with such an enormous sense of wonder over a video game. The story and character development are spectacular. The turn based combat system works well, and the unexpected ways that things can play out are so refreshing. The player is given choices: not just the illusion of choices, but actual choices that affect the narrative. 10/10, andIt has been eight long years since I was last filled with such an enormous sense of wonder over a video game.

    This game is what as a child we thought gaming would become. It carries a standard that has almost been lost to time.

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.    … Expand

    This game is such a masterpiece. It;s actually a game and not a way to scam as much money out of people as possible. It takes hundreds of hours to complete and that's not because there are millions of collectibles, but through sheer enjoyable content. And still they don't price the game at the ridiculous price point of 69.99 that a lot games have done recently.

    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.
