    De longe o melhor RPG que joguei nos últimos anos!

    Sempre tive muita vontade de jogar D&D mas nunca tive amigos com paciência o suficiente pra jogatina, então ter a possibilidade de explorar as infinitas possibilidades sozinho em um jogo tem sido muito legal pra mim!

    Worth the investment in time to play, reminds me of ME & ME2, Witcher, and SW:KoTOR for how much I enjoy the story. Great job Larian, amazing!

    First time in a very long time I've been this excited for a new release. So many lately have been overhyped, overmarketed, overpromised and ultimately lacking. Day 1 DLC, game breaking bugs, some that even cooked graphics cards. It's satisfying that I bought a game that feels complete start to finish. It's normal to have some bugs on a game release. There's no such thing as the perfectFirst time in a very long time I've been this excited for a new release. So many lately have been overhyped, overmarketed, overpromised and ultimately lacking. Day 1 DLC, game breaking bugs, some that even cooked graphics cards. It's satisfying that I bought a game that feels complete start to finish. It's normal to have some bugs on a game release. There's no such thing as the perfect game, even when looking back through the nostalgia glasses, so it's not the expectation of perfection. It's the expectation of enjoyment and functionality without having to worry about microtransactions, time wasters, live service, and all of the other baggage that goes along with most releases these days. And this game by no means is completely unique in that regard, we've seen a couple that have been like that, and they deserve the same praise.

    The story is solid from start to end, and the largest complaint I could have about any specific section wasn't the content of the section but that I wanted more of it. Wanting to follow questlines to their fullest, wanting to explore minor characters more fully and just be further immersed in the writing and *effort* put in. How so many references are a love letter to the previous Baldur's Gate games and Faerun in general but also expands upon those things further, becoming its own thing in its own way. How it can make references to lore entirely outside the scope of the game, and make it meaningful but not devastating to those that don't know that lore.

    The gameplay is also satisfying. It uses 5e as a base, but makes several incredibly important changes that work very well for the nature of a video game (and quite frankly some of them would be good for our tabletop game as well). The rebalance of certain features (or entire class, as the monk goes) works well, making thus far every class I have tried across custom characters and origin characters feel impactful. Having a philosophy of fun over balance, but still maintaining genuine difficulty with many of the encounters is a masterstroke.

    Beyond that we have the options available at any given point. In past crpgs we all experienced the severe limitations of how to complete the quests. That didn't make them bad; I loved the Neverwinter series, the Baldur's series to this point, and both pathfinder games from owlcat. They're all games to be lauded and appreciated, being those that came before and the building blocks for those that came after. And build Larian did. Having played both DOS games and seeing the progression from one to the next not only in engine but in story scope. Rare in the old days could you take a quest and complete it in a completely different way. A few times per game. Now I've found that rare are the times where there is only one solution. While these types of games will never have the modularity and freedom of a tabletop game, this is the closest that gaming has gotten to it.

    In reference to those twitter threads, reddit posts, and memes galore- Larian raised the bar. You may not like it, but it's happened.    … Expand

A game that rewards and incentivices creativity while offering significant player agency, and satisfying choice where once can be equal parts hero, villain or something in between. The character writing, romance, combat, attention to detail, and humor are some of the best i have ever seen in an RPG. Simply put this is a MUST PLAY for RPG lovers alike, and while there are small technical issues at time Larian has proven they are very fast to patch things and fix bugs so i will not let those small things affect my score. An all time great game that will be remembered for many many years… Expand

    I recently started playing D&D with friends and was immediately captivated by the creative freedom and boundless ability to choose your own adventure in the truest sense. Baldur's Gate 3 has managed to capture the feeling of playing a real D&D campaign in every way I could ever hope for. Also, I kicked a squirrel on a Nat 20 and it exploded. 10/10

    I am a career RPG Gamer and Baldurs Gate 3 may very well be the best RPG I have ever played. The game is graphically beautiful, runs like a dream, and has incredible details. The sheer amount of story and options is staggering. This is easily a 100+ hour RPG worth every cent and has the highest replay value I have ever seen out of a RPG.

    Exceeds expectations. Is it a perfect translation of 5E? No. Can we overlook that and embrace what is actually is? Of course. Fantastic so far, can't wait to finish this game.

    Larian has created a monumental game to be celebrated for years to come. The brilliance they had shown with Divinity Original Sin 2 has been evolved on and improved in so many ways with Baldur’s Gate 3.

    Es el pináculo de los juegos de rol, cuidado hasta el más mínimo detalle. Es una sensación única cuando juegas a algo a lo que se le ha puesto tanto esfuerzo y cariño.

    En definitiva una obra maestra, sin desmerecer otros grandes títulos de este año como Zelda por supuesto, pero para mi BG3 es el GOTY de este año, con diferencia.

    The game is amazing.
    I have never experienced so much immersion and freedom in a game.

    I really wish other games would give us more freedom in our player choices.

    This game is so great.
    I've played it through with a friend now in splitscreen co-op.
    It's just so much fun to experiment with the environment and abilities. There are things hidden everywhere in the world, so it's worth exploring extensively. Great dialogue, great voice acting, nice graphics, but also a few graphics bugs now and then. A second playthrough is already in the works.    This game is so great.

    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.
