    Easily one of the best games of the decade. Story is fantastic, mechanics are fun and easy to use, voice acting is phenomenal. Huge replayability as there are always multiple ways to handle each problem or scenario.

    Game of the decade! I waited so long for THIS! Thank you very much Larian!

    I like sound in this game, details, graphic, quests, characters. I bought BG3 for me, my sister and friend.

    The best rpg in the decade, but for me, at all. A lot of times it reminds me my youth when we played dice and paper rpgs. A lot. The graphics, the animation in the cutscenes and the voice acting is amazing.

    I can say I signed up for Metacritic just to give this game a good review. I played the OG games and I am 30 hours into this game. I can not stress how much I love this game.

Es una maravilla en todos sus sentidos, increíble la LIBERTAD que te deja para hacer de todo. La BSO es brutal. Es el mejor juego al que le he podido echar el guante es los últimos años. Y si hace que el resto de la industria se asuste y salga a hacer declaraciones... Por algo será. Mis 10 para Larion y Baldurs gate 3.… Expand

    Honestly I will give this game 9.5 after 100 hours gaming time. The 0.5 points deduction is for bugs and camera control

    Captivating Fantasy Adventure - My Impressions of Baldur's Gate 3

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe.

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment of the iconic series, delivers an unforgettable journey into the realm of fantasy, allowing players to uncover the mysteries and emotions of the Forgotten Realms universe. I wish to share my impressions, while avoiding any spoilers.

    One of the game's greatest strengths is its stunning visual presentation. Environmental details, character models, and visual effects create an impressive and immersive world. Each area we traverse reflects the characteristics of the region, adding depth to the gameplay and allowing us to immerse ourselves in the presented story.

    The story of Baldur's Gate 3 is filled with intrigue and surprises. The developers have crafted a complex web of character relationships, giving weight to our choices with real consequences. As we delve deeper into the game's world, we uncover mysteries that become increasingly captivating with each step. It truly takes one's breath away to realize the multitude of narrative branches that can be explored.

    The combat system is also captivating. The combination of turn-based and real-time elements allows for a strategic approach to battles. Combat isn't solely about strength, but also agility and tactical thinking. The ability to interact with the environment, utilize terrain, and the diversity of character skills create dynamic and thrilling encounters.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game in its early access version might have some imperfections. I encountered a few bugs and unfinished elements that could occasionally affect the smoothness of gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers are continuously working on enhancing the game, and the full version is likely to bring many improvements.

    To sum it up, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that draws players into its world from the very beginning. A captivating storyline, breathtaking visual design, and an innovative combat system combine to create an unforgettable adventure for RPG and fantasy enthusiasts. Despite some imperfections, giving this game a chance is well worth it, as it offers a wealth of experiences to be enjoyed.

    Awesome seeing Larian knock it out of the park, sure there are some system snags and snafus but this really elevated the groundwork laid by the Divinity series. No MTX, a mind boggling amount of content, a big middle finger to the AAA studios that are churning out garbage.

    But i met a problem.I was romancing Astarion, and I didn't have any romantic relationship with the others, but the ending didn't even have a romantic dialogue with Astarion before Jergal. I re-rolled the ending many times,and it‘s still no romantic dialogue!!!! I really feel heartbroken, it just feels like he left me in the end. I didn't even know if this is a bug. IF THIS IS A BUG！PLEASE FIX IT!!

    Without ending slides is painful enough for me, the lack of dialogue with Astarion makes me more painful!!    … Expand

    Didn't have high expectations going in as an old player of the original games by Bioware (BG1 & 2). Like the originals, the game immerses you in the world of Faerun in ways that I appreciate as both a fan of CRPGs and tabletop. While the game, and its design are certainly a jump ahead, compared to the simple graphics of its predecessors, its heart is in the right place.

Everything from the portraits, the art style, the lore books scattered around, the set locations, and music all pay homage to the original game and the setting.

    In a time when a lot of bigger studios seem keen on stripping games down all while maximizing profit even while games barely function at release, or even long after. Larian refreshingly presents a complete product. Well done.    … Expand

    I made an account just to say how much I've fallen in love with Baldur's Gate 3, even though I don't even LIKE turn-based games much. The writing, characters, and choices you make haven't been this thrilling in ages. Could do with better inventory management though. All in all, a fantastic game made by people who clearly care.

    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.
