    SO much to do and experience. The dialogue is amazing and with quicksave you can experience every line if you wish. Game is a winner. Larian studios just knocked it out of the park into space.

    I am loving this game so far (45 hours of gameplay). The depth of characters and story telling are fantastic. No microtransactions, no agenda, no always online. For the first time in a long time this game feels like a game that was designed to be enjoyed by the player and not just to feed company revenue with little regard for the enjoyment of the consumer after receiving payment.I am loving this game so far (45 hours of gameplay).

    The only minor gripe I have with the same thus far, is there are sexual advances that come up at random. I'm fine with it, if it fits the story, but I've had a character that seemly hated my guts up until this point, and last night all of a sudden wanted to share a bed with me? It was out of the blue and didn't really make sense with my decisions up to that point. Otherwise, solid game that I'm enjoying very much.    … Expand

    The game is beyond expectations. The goblins are so likeable. I've resurrected and interrogated nearly every corpse I've encountered.

    Great successor to the original series. Stunning cinematics. Story that provides depth. Satisfying combat. A game that makes you feel like they respect your intelligence. It makes you feel like it’s not dumbed down for the masses, ald at the same time isn’t overly complicated either. A lot of spells, but no one says you have to use all of them if you don’t want to.

    The game I have been waiting for since Dragon Age Origins and before that Neverwinter Nights 1 / 2 but on a even larger scale. This is a game you could spend thousands of hours on exploring and trying all the options / possibilities, every one one of them unique and interesting. There are no copy and paste gather quests here.

    For 60$ you get turn-based rpg game with interesting story, many cool characters, great combat, huge world, 0 microtransactions, no battlepass, no dlc. As a man who never played any Baldur's Gate game before and has low experience with this combat system I can say that this is the best game this year and it really deserve GOTY.

    Owned since Early Acess released in 2020, and am 19 hours into my full release playthrough, and I love it! One of the best RPGs I've ever played. The player freedom reminds me of playing the OG Fallout games from '97 and '98.

    This game ROCKS! The sheer amount of detail is incredible. My wife and I play this each evening using a laptop with xbox controllers on our living room TV. The integration was done extremely well. We find ourselves discussing possible builds, strategies, and ideas throughout the day. Just waiting to be able to play again. We are already planning out how to tackle our 2nd playthrough.

    If this game doesn't get the 2023 GOTY, it's going to be a huge injustice; the affection that Larian Studios put into it is evident in every detail, it is simply impressive.

    It's a good game. Larian really did a good job. I pre-ordered the game a long time ago and was surprised to play it in the ea version. After the official version came out, it really brought me a lot of surprises.

    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.
