    Epic game. It gets even better as it goes and you level up to gain more skills.

    It's initially quite overwhelming how open ended this is and I'd recommend everyone watch a few combat tutorials to get started as it can be punishing if you mess up. Get over that learning curve and you'll experience a game that will be talked about for a decade or longer.

    Exactly the kind of game the gaming year 2023 needed in my opinion. This game has everything that a very good RPG must have. Take a bow, you Triple A companies.

    So far, I have enjoyed every one of my 100 hours of gameplay. Thank you, Larian

    Absolutely breathtaking adventure! The few flaws it has don't even matter, as almost everything that counts is miles ahead of anything else on the market. I've been waiting for true choice games all my life, and there have been a few, like Wrath of the Righteous, but this one is on another level given its cinematic nature

    Most enjoyment I've had with a game since Portal 2, my only complaint is that I can't play as a Tortle.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an incredible game. The story is one of the most engaging I've ever played in a role-playing game. I was immediately drawn into the world of the Forgotten Realms. The characters are all well-developed and interesting, and the voice acting is top-notch.

    One of the things that I really loved about the story is how it gives you a lot of freedom to choose your own path.    Baldur's Gate 3 is an incredible game.

    One of the things that I really loved about the story is how it gives you a lot of freedom to choose your own path. You can be a good guy or a bad guy, and your choices will have a real impact on the world around you. I also really appreciated how the game doesn't hold your hand. There are a lot of secrets to discover, and you'll have to be clever to find them all.

    The combat in Baldur's Gate 3 is also really well done. It's challenging but fair, and there are a lot of different strategies that you can use to win. I especially enjoyed the environmental effects that you can use to your advantage. For example, you can knock enemies into lava or poison clouds, or you can use exploding barrels to take out multiple enemies at once.

    Overall, Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece. It's the best role-playing game I've played in years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good story and challenging combat    … Expand

    This is how a game of DnD should run on a pc. BG3 gives you tons of freedom. And of course it is slower than an action game like Diablo that calls itself rpg although it isn't one. It is a true adaptation of a ttrpg, a game you play with dice, character sheets and pen and paper at a table with your friends.

    Characters and storylines are well written. There are no microtransactions. Larian    This is how a game of DnD should run on a pc. BG3 gives you tons of freedom.

    This game shows how full of dedication a game company can be and still be "on the good side". European developers show again that they can deliver culture instead of digital fast food.

    My first CRPG ever. Never thought I'd be blown away by a genre I'd never touch before.
    I was afraid of combat gameplay but it turned out it is the first time in ages since a game makes me think thoroughly of any single move I have to make.
    The amount of possibilities, choices, storylines are just beyond amazing !
    Thank you Larian for introducing me to this type of game. So great!

    I've been playing video games for 25 years since I got my snes with 6 years. I am a typical passionate gamer that plays almost every genre of single player games, but my biggest love were always crpgs. It blowed my mind as I played dragon age origins for the first time as it's release.

I am a typical passionate gamer that plays almost every genre of single player games, but my biggest love were always crpgs. It blowed my mind as I played dragon age origins for the first time as it's release. It was my first crpg and I never expirienced the amount of freedom in choosing between so many skills and builds. The story was amaizing and the companions were extremely well written. I also love pillars of eternity and pathfinder games and especially divinity original sin 2 (what is one of my favourites game of all time), but I always missed the intriguing cut scenes and the full voice over. Baldurs Gate 3 is the combination of the deep tactical combat and great world building of divinity original sin 2 with the great and immersive cut scenes and a extremly intriguing story of dragon age origins combined with a stupendous amount of content. But what blows my mind is the amount of detail in every single side mission, side character, little details in the world in regard to the amount of content. This game is so good that I made a metacritic account and wrote my first game critique only to praise this game. My hype was huge after divinity series and the great early acces but they managed to excel my expectations. I played a lot of games the last 25 years in my life but this is the goat with a wide margin for me. Well done larian, every single game from you in the future is an autobuy for me. This studio and fromsoftware are the kings of rpgs and game developement that shows the middlefinger to every soulless copy and paste game from ubisoft, ea, etc. I hope the studio will continue there course and will give us a lot of fantastic experiences in the future !… Expand

    The best RPG I ever played since Baldur's Gate 1.
    First game that gives the feeling that your choices count and the feeling that you are actually role playing.
    It all starts from the race and class choices that got enourmous meaning. From dialouges to battles - you choose your fights, your tactic and try to come out with new ideas. Every playthrough gets a new expirence. I can see    The best RPG I ever played since Baldur's Gate 1.

    Despite being a formal follow-up to Baldus Gate, this is an excellent succession of Ultima and Arcanum.

    One of the greatest games in RPG history.

    Perhaps one of the greatest games in video game history.

    This game is a Masterpiece! Larian's boys deserve the Goty, I think this is the most complete game in recent years, an immense game with lots of things to do but in a world that is never empty and fully enjoyable, if you have never played D&D you will find it slightly complex at all start, but you will get used to it in a few hours of playing I guarantee it!

    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.
