    This game masterfully executes the D&D experience. In addition to all this, for the size of the game, its graphic quality is incredible and especially the localization of subtitles for different countries. Really a game that elevates the franchise even further and manages to demonstrate what a studio with people passionate about a project is capable of doing. My GOT this year without a doubt.

    Everything looks, works perfectly organically and authentically. I love the dialogs, the variety of how to handle every situation and their results. For me, the - so far - perfect BG / DnD adventure.

    BG3 is a masterpiece, plain and simple. people who give this game a rating below 6 are extremely jaded. best example is one guy who rated it a 4/10 to "balance out the hype", lol. i rate it a 8.5 - 9/10 (after the bugs i have an issue with are being dealt with) but for now, its a 8/10.

    + the characters are well written, and have unique personalities and struggles + the dark urge origin    BG3 is a masterpiece, plain and simple. people who give this game a rating below 6 are extremely jaded. best example is one guy who rated it a 4/10 to "balance out the hype", lol. i rate it a 8.5 - 9/10 (after the bugs i have an issue with are being dealt with) but for now, its a 8/10.

    + the characters are well written, and have unique personalities and struggles
    + the dark urge origin fits surprisingly well for it being a highly customizable character
    + the combat being turn based is amazing, thats how baldurs gate 1 and 2 should've been
    + the world design is phenomenal, it rewards exploration
    + the quests are amazing, full of twists and many ways to solve them
    + the itemization is great, so many powerful items that define classes, literally BiS
    + the music is absolutely amazing, its so immersive, so forboding, mysterious

    now the cons:

    - the performance is bad in act 3
    - some quests are bugged
    - using long rest as story progession is weird and makes you miss some story beats, especially during act 3
    - camera is weird too, why does it hang on mountains? is it a literally person holding that camera and can bump into stuff?
    - the inventory is bad, you get lost easily without proper sorting

    anyway, thanks for reading my review. :)    … Expand

    This game and the joy it brings, shows us what a game dev can accomplice when greed is replaced by passion. This is in my hopes the first of many games turning its back on micro transactions.

    I've played over 300 hours in early access, Larian has worked really hard to deliver an excellent game.
    The best game of the year so far.

    New to the genre and normally not that much into such games. However this game and the community make it to easy to get into it. So much different approaches/options on how you can progress also gives the game a good reason to not just play through it once. Top 3 GOTY 2023 candidate for me

A Larian deu uma aula em como não se acomodar e entregar algo realmente especial. Essa é uma das mais queridas franquias de jogos de RPG e o resultado foi incrível. Definitivamente, foi uma experiência memorável.… Expand

    An absolutely sensational game that will set the bar to beat very high. Strictly the top RPG games of the last 20 years. It is not without flaws, but such a great project I can not be perfect. However, that doesn't stop you from getting screwed and gorging yourself for dozens of hours.

    why would it have anything else than a 10? this game is exactly what every other games need to be , deep , free (in term of freedom), not predatory in term of money , the game is finished , there are no dlc , no micro transactions , its really what we needed as fan of video games , it gives us hope for a brighter future of video games that dont see us as floating dollar signs

    Best pure RPG I've ever had the opportunity to play. It will definitely be a game that I will pass the 1000 hours quietly. The only downside is the graphics optimization, I hope they improve that.

    I was waiting for a game to topple The Witcher 3. I didn't think it would happen in the 2020s.
    Thank you Larian for pouring your hearts into this masterwork and rising above the repetitive nonsense we've become accustomed to.

    I have been playing games for over 15 years and never played something better than this. I played the early access for 100 hours and after 40 hours after release, I still didn't see anything new, but still had more fun than ever. It is what we always thought we would never get again.

The story is great, the characters are great, the world building is great, the combat is great, the exploration is great the dialogs and voice acting are great.
    Some of the spell/ability/item descriptions could be better, but that's something easily fixable and after some time you will get the hang of it. Otherwise, there is absolutely nothing I can complain about, which makes this game the greatest of all time for me. Larian did it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot of Baldur's Gate 3 feels lost amidst a series of convoluted twists and confusing events. Character motivations often lack depth and coherence, making it difficult for players to truly engage with the narrative.
    Dialogues, an essential part of RPGs, are a letdown in Baldur's Gate 3. Choices often lack real impact on the storyline, and dialogue options fail to adequately reflect the protagonist's personality or history.    … 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.
