    If this game doesn't get the 2023 GOTY, it's going to be a huge injustice; the affection that Larian Studios put into it is evident in every detail, it is simply impressive.

    The perfect successor to Divinity Original Sin 2 by Larian Studios. Best game I’ve played in the last decade.

    It's a good game. Yes I know, it's a good game. This is without a doubt a good game. How do we support such a good game? We buy the good game. I wonder when we'll get another good game. It's definitely worthy of being a good game. Let us all pray for another "It's a good game.".

    Impressionante como esse jogo conseguiu minha atenção, nunca fui de jogar RPG de mesa nem sigo o universo de D&D dei uma chance para este jogo e ele conseguiu me fazer vibrar a cada vitória em batalha, lotear o inimigo após a vitória é gratificante. Fazer a estratégia e cuidar cada detalhe do seu grupo, o jogo está lindo e bem feito. Estou empolgado com esse jogo como nunca antes.

    This game is just amazing ! no micro transaction, no payed DLC, no bugs and infinity possibility ! i think this deserves GOTY! in the family of Elden Ring , The witcher 3 and GTA, a game with quality , not focused on money but on quality and gaming experience deserves more than 10/10 (for people who played DOS1 and DOS2, you will love this even more!)

    Melhor RPG de turnos já feito!
    A personalização de personagens é impressionante, permitindo que os jogadores desenvolvam seus heróis de acordo com diferentes estilos de jogo. As escolhas que você faz realmente importam, influenciando o desenrolar da narrativa e as relações com os NPCs.

    I decided I am not going to let me fool by the hype, because earlier games in the series was crap.
    Then I discovered my favorite gaming streamers praising it, then watched some gameplay videos.
    So I gave it a chanche, since I love rpg and mmorpg with fast pace and demands using your brain a bit. No I'm 40 hours in, in 3 days.. Its a lifewrecker and you have a hard time letting go    I decided I am not going to let me fool by the hype, because earlier games in the series was crap.

    No I'm 40 hours in, in 3 days.. Its a lifewrecker and you have a hard time letting go because of the constant cliffhangers. The choices and consequences, possibilities to develop your charachter, the voice acting and the massive amount of voice acting is very good! It looks VERY good for using older engines like DX11 and Vulcan. I whish there was more multiplayer options though, that would be the KILLER of mmorpg. Sending a certain company MS just tries to buy directly to Hell without passing start.. (monopoly reference) I am truly amazed, the second and third games in a series usually makes them crapier and crapier. But this is like a new start, a good start, a finnished and featureperfect game that just works with no bugs at all for me. The story is long large and entertaining, and you make it the way you decide to. I am tempted to say this might be the best game ever made to date, I think even hardcore fps gamer are able to like this. But for the beautiful art it is fully fledged, you do need a good GPU. I play on a RTX 3080 And that is enough to run it on high or ultra. I cant really put that as a minus, because that is our own choice what hardware we use, they just makes it possible to play with lesser, and OFC if they are going to make it very nice no matter which game it is, you need fast hardware. If they made all games to look alike and the weakest hardware as reference there would be no development and nicer graphics. And all the gpus would go to the miners rather than displaying how good games can look and feel. I just get mad when people whine about that they are not able to play graphic heavy games on their laptops with all the whistles and bells that a premium graphics card gives the game developers to build into the game. STOP IT, you need to understand that gamedevelopers want their products to be smooth and nice like high framerate uhd video and have a lot of graphic features making it real and smooth, and for that they need power. In 10 years you probably can buy a new laptop which gives todays games run like a new premium GPU today.    … Expand

    Visuals and art style and animations are all top notch, barring a few minor hiccups and glitches with the camera, but the soundtrack and music more than makes up for that with some of the most iconic and epic music I've ever heard in gaming. Borislav's genius really shone through with this game.

    The level of ambition in this game with the attention to detail and the amount of pathways to navigate the storylines and plots for each Origin and each Act are mind-blowing. And with all of the visual fidelity and cinematic animations on par with many AAA studios. The level of care put into ensuring nearly every pathway for the various class and race combinations are explored in a satisfying manner is truly jaw-dropping.

    Easily the Game of the Year for 2023, and RPG of the decade, if not a top 3 RPG of all time.    … Expand

    I played it when Early Access came out, and after so many years I finally can play the full version. The experience of BALDUR'S GATE made me reluctant to finish the game. I read every article and note carefully, marveling at Larian's arrangement and atmosphere of each scene, the immersive feel of the game was unmatched, and I was shocked by the whimsical approach to each quest line.

    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.
