    One of the best games I've played since Elden Ring. Odr a game I've played like this in a while if ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best RPG game I have ever played truly. Go on a journey with me, if you loved Gladius from Lucas arts was back on the original XBOX, combat is like that shoved into an open world. This game is AMAZING. I have purchased it three times, once for me and twice for friends. This is the way. Expand

    Game is a damn near masterpiece, until... If you're a person who really looks around and gets everything done, the level cap of 12 is really really dumb. You hit it in no time. Then everything else you do feels pointless. They created this monster of a game and then gave you such a low level cap that there's almost no point in even doing anything once you hit about half way through act 3.Game is a damn near masterpiece, until...

    Baldur's Gate 3 is now the game I will compare everything to regarding a “is this a 10?”

    Also, no microtransactions. Full game, one payment. This game should be the standard regarding getting what you pay for and not requiring further payment. Except for storyline DLC as juicy as Kingdoms of Amalur's, Fable's or Skyrim/Fallout (Dragonborn DLC, Lonesome Road, Dead Money, Far

    Na minha opinião o melhor jogo desse ano e um dos melhores já lançados.
    Eis alguns motivos:
    Inúmeras possibilidades de acontecimentos, podendo-se resolver situações de várias formas diferentes e tendo consequências diferentes em relação com a forma que você lidou com aquele evento do mundo, side quest ou a quest principal mesmo, dessa forma, fazendo o jogo ser muito rejogável.

    Exploração extremamente divertida, mapas e acontecimentos únicos espalhados
    História instigante e interessante, com personagens bem desenvolvidos e da mesma forma interessantes, tendo lores extensas para cada um e que muitas se entrelaçam com a quest principal.
    Existem muitos outros motivos do por que eu amei este jogo, mas agora pra você entender, apenas jogando essa obra de arte.

    Baldur's gate é um game incrível sinceramente a possibilidade de ter vários finais e você também poder escolher se quer ser bom ou mal é incrível. Esse tipo de liberdade é que torna o jogo incrível

    A masterfully crafted title that falls short during the later parts of the game,
    I would recommend everyone to try it but be warned that many parts in the endgame(Act 3 and the ending itself) were unfinished and without the same polish that the first two acts had early on, it felt to me like I was playing a different game.
    I have high hopes Larian will address this in the near future,

This is an example of a game done extremely well, and we can only hope beyond hope to get more games like it. Well worth the price of purchase, as I can't see anyone finding a reason to hate the game. In fact I believe this is one of those titles that several years later will have people delving into it's many stories and secrets. Expand

    The gold standard of what a game should be on release. When was the last time you heard of a game being feature complete on release? Is there bugs? yes. Is it the best single player / co-op game I've seen in a decade? Yes.

    I can’t remember the last time I bought a game and didn’t stop playing it until my eyes and mind couldn’t keep awake. And yet for Baldurs Gate 3 the moment I could play it I didn’t stop and it was amazing and great strategy game for those who want a real challenge

    Poder ter a liberdade de construir sua história, por qualquer escolha que seja, é o que torna esse jogo tão bom, poder ser livre para seguir seu caminho. Tem vontade de ser um guerreiro solo? Sem problemas, vai lá. Quer ser um mago e ter 3 Bárbaros na sua equipe? Não tem problema, você pode.
    Muitas partes dos reviews negativos são por conta dos combates demorados. Concordo em partes ser um pouco chato ter que esperar 12 inimigos atacarem ou se mexerem pra poder ter seu turno, mas é um RPG de turnos, o que esperarava?
    Dê uma chance ao jogo, você pode acabar gostando bastante, igual eu

    More than 19 years I waited exited for a new game of Baldurs Gate, as soon as this game was in early access I played and enjoyed more than 50 hours that the early access version had. The amount of detail this game have is amazing, the consequences, the narrative, the gameplay. Now I have more than 147 hours on the release version of the game and there is still more content to be enjoided.

    I've played DoS and DoS2, they are solid games, but BG3 is one of the best games i've played. I really hope that Larian goes only up from here, they deserve it.

    The story and character writing is right up there, if not better than most RPGs. I am enjoying this game so much, and I can't wait to start another play through to make different choices with a completely different character!

    Great RPG game, may be one of the best games ever released. Story is amazing, side quests are great. Possibilities are endless, every combat, every conversation has different outcomes. The class/race you play affects the story. Larian outdid themselves and created a masterpiece.

    The best RPG of this generation, Larian has knocked it out of the park with this game. A true RPG where decisions matter and no two playthroughs are the same. I will be playing this game for many years to come. oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details.

    When I was thinking of the optimum video game variation of a Forgotten Realms world, I could never imagine such a solid result as the one delivered by BG3!

    Last but not least, the game is totally different based on your alignment/background/race choices, thus giving it great replayability (especially if you choose to play with friends - up to 4)!

    A must game for every fantasy/D&D fan's library!

    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.
