    It is an honest Game. created from players for players, with the goal to give a full expirence off involving naratives, deeply touching character interactions and uncountable surprise possibilitiys to play plots, fight fights and use game mechanics.
    A game für adults. I love it.

All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this game.… Expand

    The best game I played in the last decade. So many possibilities. The scenario and sub quests are greats, combat is difficult and fun. A really great game in so many ways.

    Wow... Just wow! That is how games should (and was some time ago) be created. Wonderful, intriguing and hard to get off from adventure. Great dialogues, music and plot. Totally recommend even if this would be just one game to play in 2023. P.S I created account here specifically to praise this game. Never done it before and I am 39, gaming from like 7 or 8 :)

    The best CRPG i've played so far.
    Pros:
    - Good acting, everything is voice acted
    - impactful choices
    - balanced
    - itemization feels good
    - character developement
    - 1 price 1 game

    things i'd like:
    - Ironman mode (1 save)
    - party management

    Still, the best game i've played in a long time. Thanks Larian for your integrity and hard work.

While the game undoubtedly as its bugs, an issue no dev team seems immune to, the fact of it that for a AA studio to put our a game that brings players more fun and entertainment than what the likes of even the top tier AAA studios seem to be capable of, is a fantastic feat. With some extra love and care, something I believe Larian is absolutely capable of putting in, I imagine BG3 is going to have a strong running to be Game of the Year for many, many players.… Expand

    I find it very funny how you can go on the negative reviews and almost none of them say anything true about the game, sure some of them give some feedback but thats very rare. There's a ton of 0/10 to balance the game, or people rating it 0 while rating diablo 4 an 8 (after the season 1 patch) or someone rating every game thats impacted culture 0, 1 or 2.

As for the actual game, act 1 and 2 are damn near perfect, im not a big fan of crpgs but this game feels so smooth that its easy to pick up, cutscenes are perfect, story is good and bug free for the most part. The problem is with act 3. The amount of bugs in act 3 could bring this down to an 8 or 9 but its Larian. I trust theyll fix these bugs (none of them are game breaking mind you (at least in my path)). Most games have 10x more bugs with a bigger development team and a small scope. Cant stress how much i recommend this game… Expand

    This game has no right to be this good. It has infected my family like a disease. We are consumed by playing this game. My fiancée who exclusively plays Overwatch, has stopped playing OW to experience BG3 which is nothing short of a miracle. 11/10

    If you've ever wanted a "d&d but a video game" game then I can't reccomend it enough. The story is great, the classes are great, the humor is on point, and with several endings it's repayable to an unexpected degree.

    Have been playing crpgs for more than 20 years. I’m a veteran gamers in general. Never bothered to leave a review for any game. But here guys, it is something different. I felt I must put this off my heart as Larian Studio deserves this.
    Very simple and to the point:
    This is the Mona Lisa of gaming history. Period.

    This game is undoubtedly GOTY material, it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    While it’s adaptation of 5e D&D may not be for everyone, I believe the game does a good job in toning some aspects down with its “Explorer” difficulty as to appeal to a more casual audience who may not have experience with D&D or wit 5e

    Wow! This game feels really good to play. The attention to detail is exquisite. While there are quests and a main story, you can do things in whatever way your curiousity takes you. The gameplay and mechanics feels like a sandbox that you can experiment with in any way that you want without it feeling like you're forced to do something or that you're missing out if you don't do something.Wow! This game feels really good to play. The attention to detail is exquisite. While there are quests and a main story, you can do things in whatever way your curiousity takes you. The gameplay and mechanics feels like a sandbox that you can experiment with in any way that you want without it feeling like you're forced to do something or that you're missing out if you don't do something. The combat has a slight learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it feels really smooth. There's enough complexity that you can spend hours minmaxing if that's what you enjoy doing, but you don't have to minmax to enjoy the game. Whether you succeed or fail at your rolls impacts the flavor of your gameplay without seriously impacting your ability to progress through the game. It's a nice feeling to succeed on your rolls, but if you fail them, it's not such a big deal that you feel like you have to save scum. If there is a really import dice roll that you don't want to fail, the game gives you many ways to improve the odds of the roll, and if you still fail, you can try again with inspiration dice that you are rewarded with for role-playing your background. The combination of everything makes the gameplay flow in a way that is very smooth and satisfying. I have hardly touched the reload button.

    I could go on and on about every little thing that makes this game great -- art, writing, voice acting, map design, music, sound, etc -- but the main thing for me is that it just feels really good to play. One of the best games I've ever played, for sure.    … Expand

    Aside from very minor bugs, the game ran great, played great, had a very good storyline, really interesting characters, entertaining choices and response options, and overall was a thoroughly entertaining. Replayability is high as there are so many story impact full choices that lead to other scenes you will not have seen before. Lots of builds to try as well.

    Larian Studios has made a perfect blend of their unique gameplay style with Wizard of the Coast's Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons. There is interesting plotlines and quests, with excellent writing and character design. The amount and quality of the content actually fits the 60 dollar price, compared to other games that have less content and more filler for the same price. Truly captivating!

    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.
