    A near perfect game. I could nitpick a few QoL issues, but they're miniscule compared to the masterpiece that is Baldur's Gate 3

    This is my first c-rpg ever. Also never had contact with d&d. But this game won't get out of my head I just want to play it every single minute over the last days.

    Larian devs are exited to see players enjoy and experience this wonderful game,
    while others shut down games and sack whole dev studios because it did not meet their $$$ quota

    if they focused on the game instead of thinking up how to such more money off ppl

    This RPG is a masterpiece, far superior to the latest releases from large companies, it deserves our recognition.

    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.

    Feels just as good as BG2 did. Some bugs but they'll be squashed in time. A gold standard for character customisation and story.

NO gamer is going to expect Baldur's Gate 3 level of games from any Indie developer, but we WILL be EXPECTING it from all of the big budget triple A developers like EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, Blizzard and others FROM NOW ON. Because Baldur's Gate 3 has once again PROVEN that great games CAN be made WITHOUT microtransactions, WITHOUT massive day one patches, WITHOUT horrific glitches, bugs and being an unfinished mess. So other developers now have ZERO excuses not to match BG3 in terms of game quality, gameplay and polish. Larian studios is now the industry STANDARD on how to make a good game and has proven that it's NOT impossible to make a good game and STILL remain within the $60 price tag. They have PROVEN all the other studios to be LIARS that just want to do less work, with less effort, for more money. As far as I'm concerned Larian games has my UTMOST CONFINDENCE AND TRUST with games. From now on when Larian comes out with a game, i dont even NEED to ask if they worked hard on it, for me it's "shut up and take my money". I can't sing their praises enough on Baldur's Gate 3 and i hope the absolute BEST for them moving forward. And if BG3 wasn't enough, Swen Vincke went and turned down Microsoft on their offer to buy Larian games. Which in my book was a total GIGACHAD move on his part...LOL! 10 out of 10, if i could give it an 11, i would.… Expand

On to the actual game itself; incredible! Every choice matters, even the small, seemingly insignificant ones can alter the story in ways you wouldn't expect leading to a "What if I did this differently?" curiosity that makes replaying the game very satisfying. The combat (although I didn't enjoy it at first since I'm usually not a fan of turn based combat) is very engaging and thought provoking, encouraging you to use trial and error to figure out the best way to best enemies.

    And finally, the characters. Oh the characters are so amazingly written, each having a very in depth personal quest that you can affect in a multitude of ways depending on if you have romanced them, they like you or they despise you. Each companion feels important to the story, like they belong in the world and that their opinions and feelings matter to your own character. All in all, there are a million ways to handle every situation and that is what makes this game just so damn good. The developers should be damn proud of this and I couldn't recommend it enough!    … Expand

    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.
