    Just love it! They made most thinks perfect, few things very well and very less bad.

    -> Hope this will be the (old-)new standard in game designing: no microtransactions. no pay2win - just an normal game released after it has been finished!

    Juego obligado para cualquier amante del universo de D&D, hasta el momento solo llevo 20 horas, pero dentro del género ha sido de las mejores experiencias que he tenido, si te gustan los RPG por turnos, dale una oportunidad

    Best CRPG of all time. DOS2 was a great stepping stone so that Larian could reach new heights with Baldur's Gate 3.

    This is a love letter to RPG fans. I played the EA for more than 200 hours and still the full version got me by surprise. I can't care less for the Game of the Year Award, since this is my Game of the Decade.

    The freedom this game gives to the player is outstanding. Never have been more immerse in a game before. Not a 10 because it keeps crashing after playing too much.

    This game is even more amazing than it was during early access. The story is really great, alongside the combat, the immersive world.. it is really hard to find a negative point about the game

    Best game I played in years. Worthy of the Baldur's Gate title indeed!

    It is also uncommon these days to get a full product with no microtransactions that works out of the box.

    Well done to Larian

    Every time I login into Baldur's Gate 3 and play a session, I can't believe how good this game is. The NPC character's that take the journey with you are as well fleshed out as any Hollywood film actor's role. The voice acting is best I've heard ever in a game.

The amount of ways a player can go about a situation is unparalleled in the genre. There is so much content it's easy to get overwhelmed, however the game gives the player tools to manage this well. Jaw droppingly beautiful, high res cinematic moments are only a bonus. Larian has just taken the crown to lead the CRPG genre with their efforts. Great drama and humor and excellent narrative make this the best CRPG I've played in decades.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is game of the year. I'm calling it now.    … Expand

    Baldurs gate 3 is an unexpected RARE Gem of a game that in todays industry is a needle in a haystack, full of unfinished early access titles charging full retail AAA prices, amongst locking content behind further paywalls.. todays industry is also full of games that pose their product as a finished form of media, but in reality you're paying ridiculous prices to play a hidden earlyBaldurs gate 3 is an unexpected RARE Gem of a game that in todays industry is a needle in a haystack, full of unfinished early access titles charging full retail AAA prices, amongst locking content behind further paywalls.. todays industry is also full of games that pose their product as a finished form of media, but in reality you're paying ridiculous prices to play a hidden early access/active development title.. however, Baldurs gate is completely different in every aspect, a game that promises and delivers entirely on a COMPLETE AND FINISHED experience from release, with ONE PURCHASE and then everything in the game is present without further pay walls. Baldurs gate 3 sets a high bar of standards when it comes to how far this industry has fallen, and how it should be.

    i am not one that is usually interested in table top games, but baldurs gate 3 mixes AAA cinematic experiences, with the strategic gameplay of a table top, and blends it masterfully to further immerse you into its rich and diverse world full of unique and interesting characters that stand out individually. its truly phenomenal work, and deserves all the love and praise it gets.

    the story is well written, with masses of side content that often distracts you from the main story line, without much notice being taken from said distraction, with how great a quality all the quests actually are all round.. the side quests often quality wise feel like their own main quests, short stories that has ever lasting effects and consequences to the world and story line going forward. its amazing. i actively encourage exploring!

    this game is amazing, and deserves this full score of 10. i do hope that they intend to explore expansions and dlcs that add more races, mixing races (GIMME THE CHANGELING!!!) and more stories, companions, exisiting companion scenes, story and more. id love an expansion that continues the story beyond the endings, and allows you to face a new threat, or just explore the world again.. new game plus even.. as it sucks to say good bye to my character after the story ends.

    buy this game, worth every penny. and even then, by them actually priortitising a good product and fan service over greed, you feel more obliged to buying the additional content (deluxe edition upgrade).. please release more in this in form of expansions :p.. love the game, amazing story, amazing character, great writing, great voice acting all round.. truly earns the Masterful seal of approval. which no game has earned in my eyes a ten in this decade. red dead 2 story came close with a 9.    … Expand

Este jogo é uma obra prima e ele foi a minha primeira experiência com RPG, até então eu tinha preconceito com o estilo de jogo, espero vê-lo como GOTY porque merece muito!

    The best CRPG by far

    A little buggy and not being able to dismiss coop characters are huge oofs but don't tarnish the experience enough to make this game less deserving of it's well deserved praise

    Edit: The coop issue has now been fixed

    Solid 9/10 game, gave it a 10 due to review bombing.
    There's some bugfixes and quality of life improvement needed also for veterans a higher difficulty to as past lv5 tactician gets to easy.
    Its refreshing to see that good games can still be released this days with AAA devs money grab strats

    Such a big game with so many hours of playing, so much content in one place. The graphics are stunning and I am in love with the music. The perfect way to put DnD in a videogame, I havent had this much fun in a long time, literally cant get my eyes off the screen. Absolute masterpiece.

    We dont deserved this too good of a game. I just created a metacritic account just to praise this game. Too good!

    It makes you slowdown and imerse yourself to the game. There are consequences where you actually feel it. The gameplay is perfectly balanced. The AI enemy is too good!

    Oh, and no microtransactions! Dialogues are engaging

    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.
