    I have never played a game that can draw me so much attention in a story based game, usually I would fall asleep and feel bored, but this game is doing the opposite. The story is very immersive. I actually care about some of the characters fate instead of messing around and choosing all the wrong choices for laugh. The characters are very unique, each character has their personality differI have never played a game that can draw me so much attention in a story based game, usually I would fall asleep and feel bored, but this game is doing the opposite. The story is very immersive. I actually care about some of the characters fate instead of messing around and choosing all the wrong choices for laugh. The characters are very unique, each character has their personality differ from others which makes it easier to recognize when there are hundreds of character in the game.

    The story is very well-written since it gives me the details little by little when I am progressing and this brings up my curiosity and want to know more about what's going on. I honestly thought I would give up halfway before I started playing this game because of the combat, but in the end, I have no regret at all for playing the game. It really worths my time spent in the game and it gives me the satisfaction of exploring and doing the strategy based combat.    … Expand

Les graphismes sont à couper le souffle, avec des détails minutieux dans chaque recoin du monde du jeu, que ce soit les paysages majestueux ou les créatures fantastiques.

    L'une des caractéristiques les plus impressionnantes de Baldur's Gate 3 est la profondeur de son système de jeu. Les mécanismes de combat sont stratégiques et stimulants, demandant aux joueurs de prendre en compte chaque action et chaque décision. Les classes, les compétences et les sorts sont variés et bien équilibrés, offrant une multitude d'options pour personnaliser l'approche de jeu.

    L'histoire du jeu est captivante et riche en rebondissements. Les quêtes sont bien conçues, avec des personnages auxquels on s'attache rapidement et des choix moraux difficiles qui influencent l'histoire de manière significative. L'écriture est brillante, mêlant habilement l'humour, le drame et l'épique pour créer une aventure inoubliable.

    Un autre aspect remarquable est l'attention portée aux détails et à l'interactivité. Chaque objet, chaque dialogue et chaque interaction contribuent à l'immersion du joueur dans le monde du jeu. Les choix du joueur ont de véritables conséquences, ce qui donne l'impression que le monde réagit réellement à ses actions.

    En outre, le jeu bénéficie d'une excellente prise en charge des mises à jour et de l'ajout de contenu, montrant l'engagement continu des développeurs à améliorer et à enrichir l'expérience de jeu.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is a return to an era of gaming that is all but extinct in today's AAA world. No micro-transactions, a working game with full content at release, and obvious love from the developers poured in to it. It's not often that I can play a game with actual soul anymore.

    What's more, coming off of Diablo 4, it's refreshing to play a game that remembers when games used to be fun.

    What's more, coming off of Diablo 4, it's refreshing to play a game that remembers when games used to be fun.

    For CRPG fans, RPG fans, and even people who don't typically follow the genre, it's impossible to overstate the appeal of this game. It hits on every criteria one can use to judge a game. The game play is fun, inventive, and dynamic. The story line is engrossing and original while very approachable. The voice acting is professional and demanding. The graphics are beautiful.

    I'm gushing, I know, but this is a game that doesn't just redefine its genre or compete for GOTY in a year with several great titles, it is the new paradigm for a a generation of gaming, much in the same way that Skyrim was. RPGs for the next decade will be compared to this one.

    As a player, I rarely watch streamers or others on BG3 because I don't want to be subject to any choice, I never reload my games (except to open a chest), it's the dice and the fruit of chance that guides my adventure, yes my adventure with a capital A.

    I remember playing original Baldurs Gate series ages ago. While being fun, those games had a ton of problems. Just to name a few:

    - A huge pile of useless skills with vague descriptions that never worked
    - Inventory management of the whole party, that took enormous amount of time and effort
    - Tricky quests and maze-like maps that made it hard to figure out where to go next
    - Undefeatable enemies. Say, you are a mage, but the enemy is 100% resistant to magic
    - Weird dice-based random that feels like 50% no matter the actual chance
    There is no way the game like this could work in 2023, so I was really curious about how they would apply the old Baldurs Gate concept to the modern title.
    ...and boy, apply they did!

    Let us start with graphics and music. They are awesome. They are the best. Every asset is so detailed the game could have been a first person RPG. No matter how close you zoom in, or how far you zoom out- the game looks great! Combined with unique ambient and tracks, they create an unforgettable atmosphere- be it a sunny village, or a dark dungeon, they look and feel natural.

    Plot, characters and quests. Every character has their own personality, theirs strengths and weaknesses. Every quest is unique, highly variable and often unpredictable, with dozens of possible outcomes. There is not a single "go kill 10 orks" or "go gather 3 plants". And the easier it sounds, the more tricky it turns out to be. Characters interact with each other, with quests, they react to your choices and offer their opinion about your actions. Voice acting and cutscenes are so great, they could have been a movie on their own.

    Freedom. The game made me feel like my choices actually matter. It is a long forgotten feeling, when you understand there are no plot rails you must follow. It is the plot that follows you! Nothing is predetermined. Nothing forces you to be on the good side. For example, nothing prevents you from attacking any, I repeat, any(!) character. And it's never the end of the road- the plot just unfolds in a way you have never expected it to.

    But the biggest advantage of this game is the sheer amount of content it offers. I have already spent over 50 hours, and it feels like I did not even scratch the surface. It might be hard to describe, but the game just never stops giving. There is one level after another, map after map, quest after quest. Distinctly unique, memorable and different. They are surprisingly intuitive too, and, while there are no quest markers most of the time, you will eventually complete all quests, provided you spend some time exploring. The replayability is also huge, as every action matters, and depending on a way you complete your quests, and companions you choose, the playthrough will also change. And tactical possibilities... they are just endless, with hundreds of skills, items, equipment, spells, environments and strategies you can use. I have never seen a game with this much inside. Those 90Gb were totally worth downloading.

    There are still some things I did not like, though.
    - Performance could use some improvement. Sometimes, the game would just start lagging for absolutely no reason.
    - Characters are indeed unbalanced, some of them are good at single target combat, others can take multiple enemies at once. And then there are some useless ones, with niche skills that can do nothing most of the time. The difference is also huge, and while 1 character does 100 damage per turn, the other one does only 5. So, I imagine being stuck with wrong characters would make for a poor experience. By the way, all items have same "numbes", but different secondary skills. Also, while a melee character can swing their sword indefinitely, a mage can cast a strong spell twice at best.
    - Inventory management it still a bother, albeit a tiny one now, as they did add a ton of quality of life features.
    - Real-dice random is, well, a real dice. No matter how good your character is, even a 98% chance feels more like 50%. On the other hand, 10% chance is also more like 50%, even though you might have to spam save-load a few times.
    - Quests are impossible to beat the way you want, as, just like in real life, things rarely go the way you expect them to. And, while the game tries to warn you sometimes, there are still some extremely frustrating moments when you accept a quest, go to sleep, and wake up just to find that you have failed it.
    - Companions also disappoint. That cute girl just ignores you, even after you maxed out the relationship meter. But that weird guy just keeps hitting on you, even after you said "no" 10 times so far. I guess, developers still have some bugs to fix.

    All in all, the game is totally worth it. I had a ton of fun. There is no scam, like paid DLCs, cosmetic shops, ads or season passes. You just play it, and get the whole experience.    … Expand

    Un videojuego que ha logrado atraer a nuevos jugadores a un género que se considera de culto, tiene un gran merito. Pero esto va de la mano con una historia llena de varios caminos, una exploración muy satisfactoria, y un sistema de juego en el que prácticamente puedes hacer todo lo que se te ocurra.

    This game is not GOTY, this is a game of a decade. A truly worth sequel to legendary Baldurs Gate games. I’m sure that in 20 years we will remember BG3 as good as we do remember the BG 1 & BG 2 now. A true love letter to any RPG and D&D fan, or even just a gamer that wanted a good product, worth it's money.
    BG3 is an innovational piece of art, a gem in our time. Hats down to Larian studios.

    Wonderful game! I am so happy that there are studios out there like Larian and FromSoft still out there. This is what integrity, passion, talent, pride, and hardwork looks like. This team at Larian seems unreal, when you look at what is out there. They should be proud of what they have accomplished.

    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.
