    played early access and was super pumped, and i was surprised to see how much better the full game was than early access.

    i can feel the love the developers put into this game.
    it’s a love letter to gaming.

    it feels so genuine compared to the corporate sewage that most AAA developers pump out.

    feel like a kid again

    Unbelievable game. I really hope it stands a chance against ToTK in the Game of the Year race and I personally believe it should win by a landslide

    The original baldurs gate games were big shoes to fill, and larian has done that and more.
    Already looking forward to future playthroughs with so many options giving me inspiration at new ways to play.
    BG3 is what a proper triple A game should be.

    Esse jogo me surpreendeu, não sou fã de jogos de turnos e algo que me fez quase não jogá-lo foi por esse motivo, mas resolvi dar uma chance e me surpreendi, com os gráficos, história, os detalhes. Tudo neste jogo é lindo.

    This is actually probably the greatest game I’ve ever played. There’s so much do do and it feels so complete. This is what I think I’ve always wanted out of a game my entire life. Would highly recommend everyone give it a shot.

    The best game I had play so far. You have liberty to do anything you want, and any action have a reaction. Have romance, combat, history, graphics, build's.
    Also, you can your persona from D&D to the game. I fully recommend.

    I never was into the whole fantasy genre, i liked to play my pen & papers in a realistic setting, but this games is just something else. Truly a masterpiece. I described it to my friends as a next gen experience, this is what games have to be. You feel the love that was put into this game at every moment.

    Been playing the game since the first hour of EA and followed the development process from the beginning.

    One of the best RPG's to release in years. Beautiful graphics, awesome optimization, released with no game breaking bugs, no battlepass, no microtransactions. Good D&D gameplay implementation. Truly a game held to the standards of years past that have been missing.

    So i just finished 2nd Act of this game. It's not perfect, there was couple of bags, there is a few things that can be improved such as camera movement and sound. But i still give it a 10. That rating comes from my heart, cos i wanna show to Larian studios that we gamers appriciate their efforts. We love an full completed games without ingame shop, we love good script and characters.

    Perfect game, great story, gameplay and characters. What a game should be, no micro transactions, a feature complete game, and it wasn’t 70$. Other devs should learn, this is how you make a game, and if that’s too hard, get a new job in a different field.

    49 yrs young here, started on a C64 with Ghostbusters as one of the first games that I fell in love with.

Larian Studios have shown the rest of the industry that you can make a great game that's a financial success, which doesn't treat their player base like blood bags of cash while they Vampire like suck us dry of our hard earned cash with Microtransactions, Loot Boxes etc etc. Everyone at Larian who worked on this, My Gratitude is boundless.

    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.
