    I have played Baldur's Gate 3 for 170 hour and this game is literally fascinating and I think it is one of the closest things to perfection and I don't agree with Swen because this is the new standart and golden age of RPG. Everything the game has to offer and the amount of time and effort that goes into it is really crazy. Every major game studio should take a lesson from Larian.

    The best RPG in decades and an instant classic and contender for the GOTY 2023.

    I can not believe all the options and freedom you have with this game.

    Story, characters, soundtrack, artwork, gameplay all is top, and a well built world.

    The best adaptation of D&D in a videogame.

    Masterpiece.

    This is a seminal CRPG experience. It brings forward the classic D&D CRPGs of the original Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment and adds in the Divinity Original Sin 2 DNA. The quality of the voice acting, story, environments and systems come together to present a fantastic experience. If you enjoy sinking into a game world in its entirety, this is the one to get.

    Let the industry take notice. Yes ... Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda ...

    THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A GAME!

    Larian have created a masterpiece that we will be playing for years. And no microtransaction, no post launch patches, nerfing XP gain, to sell us XP boosters, no broken release.

    And BECAUSE they delivered on their promises. Because they have given us a PURE gaming experience, devoid of insidious, underhanded microtransactions, I just bought the Collectors edition to further support this company, in addition to owning the game for 2 years in early access.

    Its an experience, lovingly crafted by those who genuinely care about the product and the player experience. NOT SHARE HOLDERS.

    Perfect DND computer game. Combat is great, every battle can be a puzzle. HUD could be better, yes.

    And no, it is not divinity original sin 3, it's Baldur's Gate 3, deal with it

    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.
