    One of the best, if not the best RPGs I have ever played. Easily my Game of the Year.

    1st time I've enjoyed turn-based combat. The story is interesting and your dialogue choices actually matter (I've reloaded a few saves just to see what happens if I choose something else, and am usually surprised how different the outcomes can be).

    I find myself playing until 2am most nights and feeling like a zombie at work the next day. Rinse and repeat.

    This game is the absolute best RPG game I've ever seen.
    The sheer amount of things you can do and the vast variety of outcomes you can get is outstanding.

    I have not experienced any game breaking bugs, occasional character clipping or disappearing textures is fine by me.

    The best RPG I've played in decades! A pinnacle of gaming that everyone should try out! The music, the atmosphere, the narrative, the gameplay, the combat and so on are so beautifully crafted that it's leaving me wondering what happens next every time I stop playing it for the day!

    The best game I've played in 10+ years. An absolute masterpiece. Story, characters, gameplay, variability, attention to detail, graphics - everything is at an incredible high level. I can't believe that this game could come out in our time. 10/10

    И, конечно же, нельзя не отметить музыкальное сопровождение. Оно создает неповторимую атмосферу каждой локации и момента игры. Звуки природы, бои, мелодии в городских тавернах — каждая нота добавляет живости и настроения происходящему.

    В заключение, эта RPG игра — настоящий шедевр, который заставил меня поверить в волшебство виртуальных миров. Великолепная графика, захватывающий сюжет, множество возможностей для развития персонажа и атмосферное звуковое сопровождение делают её незабываемой. Однозначно рекомендую всем поклонникам жанра!    … Expand

    A proof that it's possible to make a great game with a soul. More companies should take example from Larian, I played their other games and all of them are really good and each one is better then previous one. Highly recommend to everyone!

    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Unfortunately, I've seen comments in a similar fashion. Unlike some people, I enjoyed the level cap in a CRPG. In the DoS series, I enjoy min/maxing. Since the maximum level is uncapped, I felt pressured to kill some characters that I wouldn't otherwise. Here, I felt more freedom. Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic;    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic; however, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's much less crowd control, which means fights resemble actual battles rather than one party stun-locking the other throughout the entire fight.

    The story is marvelous in my opinion. I don't like games where my character wakes up one morning, and for an hour, the game tries to tell the backstory. The game starts with action and ends with action.

    One issue is that, until Act 3, the story flows intensely along a narrower path. In Act 3, the game takes you to a very large city where you need to slow down and adapt to new stories, unless you want to skip all the content and rush through the main story. I felt a bit conflicted about it because I didn't want to miss out on side content, but I really wanted to follow the main story. However, I can't give it a low score because there's so much content in the game, lol.

    Also, I must mention that the romance aspect is terrible. I completely ignored it throughout the whole game because the dialogues are too amateurish. I wish they hadn't included it at all if they didn't have the time to align it with the overall quality.    … Expand

    Milestone in the history of computer games.

    Graphics 10
    Gameplay 9.5
    Sound 10
    Story 10

    The only reason why I gave 9.5 to the gameplay is due to the choice of removing race differences... I wonder if woke critics had an impact on this choice.

    Anyway, thank you Larian Studios for this absolute masterpiece.

    Best experience i had, since i firstly launched Skyrim and The Witcher 3.

    I liked this game so much, that i'll buy a PS5 version, just to play it again on my ps.
    The only concern is D&D mechanics, but it has it's own charm and it's easy to get used to it

    I've been playing now since launch (and around 20 odd hrs in EA). All I can say is they have delivered!! It's epic and could be (if it continues as it has begun) the best game I have ever played!

    This is for sure the best RPG since quite time. So many decision, so many choices to do, to be... Finally a game that challenge you to THINK and not just grind. Thank you Larian for this masterpiece. One disappointing thing though - why shields not visible when not in battle? Hope you'll fix this, or at least give option to show shield or musical instrument while not in battle.

    文句なしのGOTY2023だと思います。
    ストーリーがとにかく濃い。
    選択肢も多くどれもちゃんとその後の展開に影響する。
    こんなのはウィッチャー3以来。
    加えてジョブ/クラスの多さがより戦闘システムを深化させている。

    I was BLOWN sideways by the inventiveness, the production quality, the attention to detail, the fun and the originality. I hadn't played anything from the D&D stable before, and so the dice rolls were a bit strange to begin with, but I ended up loving the wee extra thrill they gave.
    Just started my second playthrough, and even just a couple of hours in I'm seeing things I never saw before.
    Such depth, such care taken. It even has a fantastic controller implementation for those of us who like that.
    Absolutely game of the year for me (and yes, I have played Starfield).    … Expand

    No hyperbole, but this really is just as absolutely close to a perfect game as is possible given our current technology limits. Playing this in early access, I knew that the full release was going to be outstanding, but I didn’t foresee just how incredibly good it was going to be. Might just be the best game I’ve played, and I really mean that. It’s amazing. Play this game.

    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.
