    THANKS TO LARIAN AND THEIR TEAM FOR THIS WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE OF A GAME.

    Same as every other person who knew this game was coming out I wasn't expecting it to blow up because of how niche a genre it was though I was going to play it and I know this game is going to be dear to me forever. Just mind blowing. It's not easy for me to get immersed in a game but BG3 has done that to a level    THANKS TO LARIAN AND THEIR TEAM FOR THIS WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE OF A GAME.

    Same as every other person who knew this game was coming out I wasn't expecting it to blow up because of how niche a genre it was though I was going to play it and I know this game is going to be dear to me forever. Just mind blowing. It's not easy for me to get immersed in a game but BG3 has done that to a level I wasn't expecting. It reminds me so much of the old Bioware games. I'm not a D&D guy but so I don't know how this game will feel for people who played the old BG games or the board game but I can say that people who know nothing about those games will most likely love this game.
    The only thing that might push some people away is the isometric view and the turn based combat.
    Which I love and can't imagine playing this game any other way.

    Definitely my game of the year.

    ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO LARIAN AND THEIR DEVS AND ALSO THE COMMUNITY WHO HELPED IN THE EARLY ACCESS SINCE 2020.    … Expand

    Краща гра за останні кілька років і дякую за українську локалізацію)
    Брама Бальдура заслуговує звання гра року і сподіваюсь займе заслужене місце культових ігор поряд зі Скайримом і Відьмаком)

    BG2 Veteran - still play to this day.

    This is different no doubt, and BG2 keeps its place, whilst BG3 delivers on its own merits to bringing to life this DnD world. Awesome to have some old characters return as well.

    I have play a lot, I can’t stop playing or thinking about the game, that’s really not often the cases with other games. I think Larian hit everything that I like in an true rpg, choice, consequences, a good story with a good narration, it’s flawless for me, it’s the goty.

    Simply the best RPG I have ever played.
    So many choices and options that seriously impact your storyline.
    You can probably play this massive game 5 times and will still not have discovered everything there is to see.
    Amazingly written characters I just can't help to fall in love with.

    A phenomenal RPG from Larian. The passion and creativity that has gone into this masterpiece is unrivalled. I hope Larian inspires more developers not to compromise on their vision, and to push their creativity to new places.

    Phenomenal. Captures the essence of DnD in the best ways possible, emphasizing the "RP" in "RPG". Insanely large in scope for a game of its quality and price. A must play for any Fantasy RPG lover.

    The real magic here though comes in the form of an evolving narrative and player agency on a level that would only be rivalled by previous Larian Studios titles. I have lost count of the amount of times I have tried to catch the game out or tried an odd solution to solve a problem only to be greeted by cut-scenes or voice acted dialogue lines that perfectly fit to what had just transpired. This shows the passion and thought that the team have put in with every such instance being like a "we knew you might try that" nod from the developer.

    First ever review posted on Metacritic. Sometimes you just have to tell people when something is THAT good.    … Expand

    Game lets you check out your equipment "down there" before starting out on an epic journey. Enough said, also countering trolls who hate on the game because it actually gives a proper game for the price you pay.

    First of all, I must say that it's an amazing game. Everything it does, it does well. Deep gameplay mechanics, memorable characters, great graphics. But, what's the big "but"?

I don't find that the game brings anything new; there's nothing in it that I haven't seen before, for instance, in Dragon Age: Origins. What Larian has done well is precisely that—doing everything well, but in my opinion, they've taken very few risks.… Expand

    A spellbinding and enchanting entry in to the widely acclaimed Baldur's Gate series. 23 years after BG2, Larian has managed to make a game that built on the original RPG elements, while bringing forth high quality graphics, character depth, an imaginative narrative, and player choice to the forefront. An instant classic that has raised the bar for all past and future cRPG games.

    The game provides some feature, we thought are lost to this day. A complete experience without paying extra for story-related stuff, interesting characters with a deep story and a high-fantasy world, that every RPG-gamer wanted. If you want a game to enjoy even for months and replaying it and get every time new stories, this is it.
    Larian deserves this huge support! GO BUY IT!

    Made an account just to sing this game's praises. I'm usually a 'wait-and-see' type of gamer that hold off for at least a couple weeks post-release to decide whether I want to drop $60+ on a new game (especially something as hyped as BG3). Well, I just couldn't resist this time around.

And boy am I glad I did. I'm only 20 hours into my play-through and can genuinely say BG3 has revived my love for video games. As someone who often struggles with open world games, something in BG3 just clicks. Can't recommend highly enough.    … Expand

    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.
