    Ich habe sehr viele Spiele gespielt. Doch keines hatte so einen hohen Grad an liebe und Detail in jeder kleinsten Ecke gehabt!

    Jede Mechanik. Die Geschichte und auch die Charaktere selbst sind sehr gut bis perfekt durchdacht und in sich logisch.

    so much fun. every choice matter, sometimes you'll not even know you made a choice and just like that the game changed.

    I don't write reviews often but this is what a game should be. No Microtransactions and just focused on player experience. I'll give my money to games like this all day even though they are far and few between.

    Best game ever made. The other game developers can now learn with Larian Studios how to make a game.

    The game is an improvement on DOS2 (which was excellent). It feels like D&D on the computer. Biggest thing that is lacking is more body types for the character creation.

    One of the biggest CRPG release in a long time. It's a solid choice for people new to the genre and experience CRPG fans have plenty to chew on here.

    The new gold standard of the industry considering role playing games. If you'd told me that we'll have anything other than Zelda:TotK this years GOTY title, i'd tought you've gone mad, then comes this game and now I can't imagine BG3 not winning it.

    Never in my life I played a game so immersive as as BG3.
    I am inside this story, it feels amazing, I feel invested, involved.
    The combat is just glorious, the dialogues, the characters. Always something different to do.
    How often a game makes you "feel" so much?
    This is not a game, it is an experience.
    BRAVO!

    This is probably the closest you can get to create a perfect gaming environment for me. Great story, fantastic game mechanics, and endless possibilities thanks to mods. I really hope the whole industry will take notice.

    I started playing CRPGs in the mid 80s during the "Ultima" era; then the Might&Magics, SSI "Gold Box" series and many many others, including the Infinity Engine ones. Baldur's Gate 3 brings the imagination and creativity of the good old days, of course updated for an entirely new generation. A spectacular outcome for an outstanding Software House. Kudos to you, Larian.

    Larian and From Software are the only two studios that I trust. Excelent work.

    This game let's you do anything you want it's absurd, no wonders why other game devs are afraid of this...

    One of the best CRPG imho.

    One of the best RPGs ever. The story, the characters, the world building. Everything is top tier. My only gripe would be the slow combat. But this is more a personal preference than bad game design. And you get real bang for your buck with all the replayability.

    This game has been ages in development, and it shows. Early Access released nearly three years ago revealing an already stunning world to explore and adventure in, with deep dialogue and many different ways to approach most encounters.

    An absolute masterpiece. Buy it, experience it and enjoy it. And don't support other AAA-titles which are subpar to this.

    Fantastic game waited 20+ years for this , I love the story telling, there is definitely a learning curve but nothing you cant get over.. the environment is dense and rich every action there is a reaction lots of puzzles and secrets, read every book and check every crany.

    I will be playing this game for years.. thank you for doing justice to gaming may other follow in your footsteps

    Probably the best ever representation of tabletop RPGs on PCs.
    Incredible piece of work, full with detail.
    You really have to experience this game

    What is this! A game that doesn't have microtransactions!! The full game on release day! A game that doesn't seem to have gaming stopping bugs on day one!! A game where the servers were able to handle the load of everyone downloading the game at the same time!! Well played Larian Studios, I love it. The game is also extremely good.

    Absolutely outstanding game. Combat is easy to learn but has lots of depth. Sets a lot of gold standards for an RPG. Just outstanding level of polish.

    This is an absolute masterpiece. One of the best (if not *the* best) RPG's in a decade. This is truly a one of a kind gem that absolutely has to be experienced.

    One of the best RPGs ever existed. One of the best games ever existed.
    On top of that, no agenda, no microtransactions, no loot boxes, no battle passed. Just a pure game.
    Maybe it relates to the CEO who is actually playing his own game and sincerely loves what he is doing. Do not tell EA/Blizzard, let them die already

    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.
