    This is one of the BEST games I've ever played, hands down. BG3 transports you into a mesmerizing realm that's beyond imagination. Can I live here? The graphics are seriously mind-blowing. Cut scenes and storylines are heart wrenching. I love how you can be tactical or guns a'blazin, or even super sneaky. Almost everything I come up with, the game lets me try it!

    Me está encantando el videojuego y eso que este género no ha sido nunca mi estilo, solían aburrirme y me costaba mucho entenderlos; Pues no sé que ha ocurrido que con este no puedo parar de jugar llevo más de 40 horas y no me canso.

ElMe está encantando el videojuego y eso que este género no ha sido nunca mi estilo, solían aburrirme y me costaba mucho entenderlos; Pues no sé que ha ocurrido que con este no puedo parar de jugar llevo más de 40 horas y no me canso. Es cierto que me he perdido con alguna misión alguna vez pero he tardado muy poco en encontrar alguna guía o sugerencia que me haya mostrado el camino. El juego por lo que he leído tiene 12 niveles, actualmente voy por el 8. Los primeros 4 niveles me costaron muchísimo porque no paraba de morir una y otra vez, luego leyendo, resulta que los D&D son así, empiezas con un nivel muy bajo y los enemigos no tanto por lo que una estrategia deficiente o pecar de excesiva temeridad va a desembocar en literalmente la muerte, pero transcurridos estos primeros niveles (que ya os digo, cuesta) la cosa sigue igual de difícil pero ahora tienes más margen de maniobra y si eres un poco listo en tu planteamiento de los ataques puedes salir airoso más veces de las que mueras. En definitiva me encanta. Le doy un 9 por no estar doblado al castellano ya que la voz es fundamental en un juego tan exageradamente narrativo como este. Entiendo que son muchísimas líneas de diálogo y traducir sería caro pero no imposible, además que mis 60 euros valen lo mismo que los 60$ de cualquier estadounidense el cual va a tener una experiencia muchísimo más inmersiva. Dicho esto si no te importa estar 120 horas mínimo leyendo sin parar el juego merece muchísimo la pena. Para mi no es el GOTY porque no es de 10 pero casi.… Expand

    A very amazing RPG experience which rewards players, who want to see every single corner of the game. Sadly, there are some game elements I don't like, like not being able to access the inventory of your companions which aren't in your party currently, which forced you to switch the companions, just to access certain items, but overall a very great game.

    Great game
    i don't like the camera angles at points.
    Combat is good and inventive.
    Story is so far interesting
    Graphics ok but not amazing
    Never played dungeons and dragons but it does have a table top aesthetic. You appear to have a lot of latitude in the way you do things.

    This game far exceeded my expectations. The role playing is great, voice acting is great, the characters are actually interesting, you can talk to animals, like all of the animals. This is easily the closest that a video game has ever gotten to feel like playing an in-person campaign of DnD.

This game is awesome and Larian exceeded all of my expectations, but it's not a 10 tho. BG3 has issues, so let's start with them, and talk about good stuff later in review.
    - bugs, lots of them. Mostly it would be something minor, like bugged cutscene, or stuff on the table you cant reach, companions not jumping over the edge, even tho if you start controlling them they are perfectly capable of making this jump, or other weird jumps, when you hit something mid-air and stuck in there. I had one bug with the quest, and I couldn't finish it, and save was too far to replay everything all over again. Only once I encountered "game-breaking" bug, when one of my companions couldn't travel, and refused to go to the camp, had to replay last 20 minutes again. It's better then most of recent AAA games, but this game is not without a sin
    - 3rd act cinematics. I absolutely loved cinematics at the 1st and 2nd act. But in the most of them in 3rd I was disappointed. Just overall quality, default music playing in epic moment, weird movement, companions shaking, dialogue cut-off or repeat itself and other strange things.
    - camera. Perhaps the worst thing in this game. Camera controls are just bad, and camera itself most of the times is showing inside of the walls or something weird else. It's getting worse with the fights where enemies are on the different levels and with the ladders
    Average stuff
    +- companions. All companions are well written, All of the main companions have an arc, which you can close in multiple ways. Some companions are fun to be around, some are annoying, and thats ok, they voice acting is on point. But GOD DAMN, why are they so HORNY
    +- performance. Most of the game for me was without the issues, usually I've played for around 4 hours and then had to exit game and open it once again, due to FPS drops and I have high-end pc. But act 3 is way different, when I entered the city I had to exit-enter game every 2 hours at least for game to be playable
    +- battles. I love turn based combat, but I can see how it could be an issue for someone who never played games with turn based combat and does not have an experience with dnd ruleset or other tabletop RPGs
    Now to the good stuff
    + audio. I absolutely loved music and voice acting. Several songs from this game are already in my playlist for dnd sessions. Voice acting is on point, my personal favorits are voices of Narrator, Rafael and Mol. God, I love them
    + freedom. This game really awakens your curiosity. I never had an urge to google how to do this quest, or look up where I could get a better sword. Game gives you all the tools, and you have to find the way to use them. Overall world is fun to explore
    + story. Both main and side quests are great. What I love is that most of these side quests carry on later in the game.
    + replayability. I'm absolutely sure, when I'll going to do my 2nd playthrough I'll get absolutely different experience, and it's wonderful
    + memes. Do I really need to explain myself here?
    I haven't tried coop yet, need to try it as well.
    Really hope for the DLC or BG4 already to know what happened with all there characters.    … 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.
