    One of the best rpgs ever made, up there with the likes of Planescape Torment.

    Las cantidades de posibilidades y eventos random en el juego es increíble y las decisiones que se toman si influyen la gran mayoría en lo que pueda pasar es un juego increíble .

    It is very simple: Baldurs Gate 3 is the best (whatever)RPG of the last 3 decades!

    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.

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

    Hands down the best game I have ever played. The depth of the characters and the interaction with NPCs is like nothing that has ever been created.

    Stunning to see such a gem of a game in 2023. I loved playing in Early Access, but the full launch has taken the game to a new level - for me this is the greatest game ever made by a long shot.

    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

    Finally another epic RPG with storytelling in the vein of Dragon Age and Mass Effect, along with a complex, yet intuitive combat system which rewards creativity while remaining accessible. Really a lot of fun.

    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. Love seeing the bitter responses from people who create and make excuses for lackluster play experiences.

    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.

    This game was not hyped in my friend circles, even though they have played DnD for quite a while. I'm bad at DnD and don't enjoy the DnD combat style. That's why Baldurs Gate 3 has been an absolute slam dunk for me. This feels like an insane breath of fresh air compared to even Elden Ring, which is another game I love to death.

This feels like an insane breath of fresh air compared to even Elden Ring, which is another game I love to death. I did not expect to be a fan of the turn-based "top-down" combat style but I've become addicted to it. The ONE thing that should be considered as a bias is that I play this game with a group. I cannot say if this game would be as fun alone unless I was a hardcore fan of the combat, which I might be by the end of our run. I have clocked 20 hours into the game and haven't even completed Act 1, and I have heard that act two and three are both longer than act one. I am extremely excited to continue playing Baldurs Gate 3 and hope that Larian are able to take home GOTY with this modern sleeper hit.… Expand

    This game does what most can not. It achives a perfect 10 and deserves to be game of year. It feels like since elden ring we have not recieved a game that felt actually complete apon lauch. If your on the fences becomes of turn based i normally hate turn based games and i havent been able to put this game down. Will buy a second time on ps5 for me and wifes play thru.

Just pure fun filled with great story, gameplay and interesting mechanics. Heared about D&D but never had the chance to actually play it? Well now it is the time to do so!

    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.
