    Simplesmente D&D sem mestre trapaceiro. Torço que o gênero cresça e que a Wizards consiga entender o potencial que tem o sistema deles.

    After my experience with Diablo IV, the season pass, and the cosmetics shop of bloated price horrors, the ninja turtles collab in StreetFighter VI where cosmetic items all together cost MORE THAN THE GAME, I really appreciate Larian studios for respecting their players.

    Also, the game is actually phenomenal. Immersive, with in-game consequences that hit with actual impact. Excellent

    Also, the game is actually phenomenal. Immersive, with in-game consequences that hit with actual impact. Excellent voice work, a compelling and interesting story and characters. It also subverts expectations in multiple story situations, and is full of other surprises. It's worth the time, and multiple playthroughs. You can have all kinds of different experiences, see different resolutions to all kinds of situations, and have the freedom to handle situations in almost any way you want to.

    I have so much respect for this studio and am happy that they didn't sacrifice their integrity for greed.

    if you like story, action, romance, character depth, complexity, making choices that matter, strategy, fantasy, and writing that is both hilarious and deep - this is the title for you.

    So much replayability, so much depth. Amazing for single player, but also Imo the best multiplayer game by far.

Ne pas connaître l'univers du jeu et/ou les autres Baldur n'est pas un frein pour faire le jeu , des résumer des autres jeux existe et you tube a beaucoup d'expert passionné pour nous en apprendre toujours plus. Le jeu est incroyable, sûrement une des meilleures expérience que j'ai jamais eu depuis vraiment très longtemps, j'ai tester énormément de jeu tour par tour et je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé car ça m'ennuyais mais là j'ai appris à aimer ça et me rendre compte que c'est en aucun cas gênant. Bref il faut y jouer vraiment , ça serait louper une expérience que de ne pas essayer ou d'avoir peur du système du jeu qui peut faire peur même pour les néophytes (jamais jouer a de jeu de rôle papier ou autre Baldur / divinity etc) . Foncez ! Larian Studio je vous aime et merci pour votre jeu Expand

    I've spent an ungodly amount of time on BG1&2 - checking almost every corner, every chest, every interaction, every dialogue, every book. I loved these games.
    From this point of view, BG3 is a worthy successor. Lots of dialogues, choices and events.
    I thought the real-time + pause combat from BG1&2 was perfect - but the turn-based combat in BG3 is SO MUCH BETTER! I'm embarassed to admit

    I thought the real-time + pause combat from BG1&2 was perfect - but the turn-based combat in BG3 is SO MUCH BETTER! I'm embarassed to admit how many times I placed my dude at the edge of a chasm to seeing him fall down because he was pushed by the enemy. Something so blatantly obvious, but makes combat so refreshing - at least compared to previous BG's.
    I love the enriched rest/camp mechanic, changing surroundings, requiring supplies (finally we have to eat and drink!)
    Graphics and animations are cool, the landspaces are beautiful.
    I love this game and I will consume every tiny bit of it, just like I did with BG1 and BG2.

    El juego es un sueño, generoso en contenido, maravilloso para sesiones largas y cortas. Me devuelve a aquel niño de 15 años que se paso el Baldurs 1,2 y Expansion. Jugar a este juego me hace feliz. Un auténtico 10.

    This game is practically one of a kind these days. We have gained so much in the last couple of decades of gaming, so much in technical achievements, but games seem to have lost their souls in the process, well not this game, this game may not be the most technically impressive of latest years, although it's no slouch either, but it delivers so much more, not just by modern gamingThis game is practically one of a kind these days.

If this game's soul manages to infect at least one more developer/publisher to be better, it will have already done more for gaming that every single executive and share holder in the industry in the last 12 years, and that both invigorates as much as it saddens.

    The best game I've played since The Witcher 3 in 2016, I daresay my experience with Baldur's Gate 3 is even better. Masterfully crafted world with superb storyline that can be told in more ways than one and it will still be miraculously coherent by the end of it.

    A dream come true for CRPG and Balurs Gate 1&2 fans. The world building, the narrative, the decissions, the combat, the characters, the possibilities (inmersive sim-like). One in a generation

    Used to play a few turn-based games on mobile before, and I also played SWTOR but I'm more of an FPS shooter kind of player (Doom Eternal), Paladins, etc.). I'm not a D&D fan but god damn I do love the storytelling in BG3, the combat (though not for everyone), and the exploration. If you are a player looking for action and to get your adrenaline rush, this game is not for you.

    I also love the fact that this game has 0 microtransactions, I've been a victim of this kind of crap for a few years now and just recently realized it's all crap. This game is what we used to play, a complete product right from the get-go.

    And for that, I would like to thank Larian for what they have accomplished.

    The attention to detail, wonderful power of choice, and a plethora of ways to replay, make this game a 10/10 for me.

    I've never played this genre of games the same way I've never played souls like games. My first game was Elden Ring where I fell in love with the game and now I'm having the same feeling with Baldurs Gate 3 a new and exciting game.

    Excellent Story, graphics, sound. Great combat & dialogue systems.

    This game is amazing, the reason it's only a 9 and not a 10 is because it's a bit difficult at first, the controls are a bit wobbly, but other than that it's a great game. I recommend, but still wait for the release on the Xbox, it's still not a Sony exclusive.

    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.
