    The best CRPG ever, with 17,000 ending this game become the best game people should replay ever. I hope this game will become game of the year 2023.

    I have been waiting for the epic continuation of the Baldurs Gate series for many years and finally there is a 3rd part, which is great and is a worthy successor to the original Baldur's!

    I didn’t expect to like this game as much as I do and I never rate games a 10 but this is a game I can’t stop thinking about. That hasn’t happened since I was a child. I can’t say what exactly is so great about it because I agree with a lot of criticism of this game. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s still incredible game and the only game in the past decade besides Factorio that II didn’t expect to like this game as much as I do and I never rate games a 10 but this is a game I can’t stop thinking about.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right having finished this game thoroughly, I give this game a rating of 9.4/10, score excludes anything to do with bugs or performance hit in act 3.
    The game itself is once in a generation, you would have to wait for another 10 years for something similar. The world, the details, choices, characters, artstyle and graphics are all phenomenal. Music and story was good as well. Combat was faithful to DnD and while it was fun, I think it kind of hamstrung the flow of combat that Divinity 2 had.
    Where the game fell short was bossfights. Gortash and Orin's were not upto standard, I fully expected 2nd phase for both of them. However the Netheric brain fight, Nere, Nightsong fight, Ketheric fight, Raphael fights redeemed it.
    Regarding the characters I liked all of them. However, the game's romance needs work, one thing the need to learn from Bioware. Gale, Wyll and Halsin are too forceful. Karlach, Shadowheart are done just right.
    As for the final fight, it was great but it should have been extended across the whole city like in Dragon Age origins the fight took place across all the Denerim locations. Not perfect, but still very good nonetheless.    … Expand

    It's almost unbelievable what the devs have achieved here. Finally, players have the freedom to make their own choices. Every action, every response, everything you do or say has an impact on the world. The world, in a way, evolves with the player. Fantastic.

    However, I must note that the third act feels unfinished. Some storylines lead to nowhere and there are still many bugs present.    It's almost unbelievable what the devs have achieved here.

    Turn-based combat is a mixed bag. I found it somewhat boring at times. But the opportunity to finally have the freedom to decide what my character does in the world is definitely worth it.    … Expand

    Muito bom, talvez o melhor RPG que eu já tenha jogado, veio em um momento importante a muito tempo eu não conseguia me apegar a um jogo e jogar ele de verdade, ao invés de só fica olhando pra tela jogando só com memória muscular e prestando atenção em um vídeo ou em um podcast.

    This game is everything to me. As an autist, I struggle to befriend people. The unmatched person-ability of all the voiced characters alone makes for unmatched replay-ability. Props to the actors behind them! I've played close to 100 hours already and still have plans for many more ocs that I want to send out into the world of BG3. Thank you, Larian!!

    I've been playing games since I was 6 (i'm 32 now), this is the best game i've ever played. I've tried CRPGs in the past but didn't get too far into them because of the size and complexity which was overwhelming. But Baldur's Gate 3 made a story that is so engaging, with dialogue that feels so real and immersive that I forget time when I'm playing it and can't wait to see what's next.

But Baldur's Gate 3 made a story that is so engaging, with dialogue that feels so real and immersive that I forget time when I'm playing it and can't wait to see what's next. I clocked at 125 h in my first "good aligned" playthrough and just started another one with a more "evil aligned" role-playing and I'm 24 h into the second playthrough and it's already vastly different story-wise and gameplay wise since I'm playing another race+class and I'm using different companions. Dialogue options are different, companion interactions are different, questlines went a totally different direction, basically I'm playing the same general story but the road to its end is 70-80% different and hopefully the ending will be different.
    100% recommend trying this game out! It's a masterpiece in production value, value for money and if you've read anything about the developers, Larian Studios, you probably saw these are the people you want to support with your money. Now GO, get lost in the wonders of Baldur's Gate 3, stop wasting your time on metacritic :))    … Expand

    + The actual DND.
    + No BS characters.
    + Every move counts.

    - Optimizations, but acceptable.

    500h in and i still want more

    The amount of ways you can approach quests and combats, the amount of freedom of choice and reaction by the game and is incredible. Larian accounted for people to sneak, steal, move objects, etc and have NPCs reacting to that.

    So many hours of cinematic perfection through mo-cap and just great writing overall

    Milestone in the history of computer games.

    Graphics 10
    Gameplay 9.5
    Sound 10
    Story 10

    The only reason why I gave 9.5 to the gameplay is due to the choice of removing race differences... I wonder if woke critics had an impact on this choice.

    Anyway, thank you Larian Studios for this absolute masterpiece.

    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.
