    I tried to like this game, I loved the originals and Neverwinter Nights, but between the story not grabbing me and the combat requiring expert level understanding of the battle system, it's really not a fun game.

    I spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times. Coming from DOS2, I feel at home but it's definitely a DnD and Baldur's Gate game. It's a very genuine RPG experience, beautifully crafted so far and I cannot wait to see more and more and more. I rated this a 9 initially but set it to 10 to compensate people who give this game a 0. You areI spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times.

    First online review ever. Felt compelled to right the wrong of all the dishonest trolls giving it a zero. Does it really deserve a zero? No, it I’ve been around gaming since the 80’s and this is a great game and an excellent achievement by the developers. That it is a labor of love is obvious. Hopefully the new standard that gamers will demand from a declining industry. Now back to the game.

    El mejor juego de RPG de la década , casi que del siglo , casi en general , casi pero existe pou El juego es demaciado completo , se siente el poder de la decisiones que se toman ya sea para bien o para mal , muy fácil de comprender sin tantos sistemas densos que dificulten el acceso a jugadores nuevos en el género , simplemente GOTY

    One of the best games I've ever played. I cannot remember the last time I sunk 50+ hours into a game on release.

    Please don't listen to the negative reviews that are appearing. This game is special.

    As a passionate gamer (both PC and tabletop) i really had high expectations for the game. The early access did not let me down and the full version of the game just blew me away.

The early access did not let me down and the full version of the game just blew me away. Solid story writing, very satisfying adaptation of the tabletop rule set., tactical combat mechanics were beyond impressive. But what really stands out is the amount of freedom the game gives the players to approach any given problem and quest in the game. Players are rewarded for exploration, as one can find hints strewn in the most unexpected places, which in turn enable more diverse and creative paths one can take to tackle objectives. Never have I played any RPG on PC with such decree of freedom, which is one big selling point of the tabletop version.

    Never ever have I reviewed a game before but Baldurs Gate 3 is just that good.    … Expand

    Been a BG fan since 1998....never thought it could be this good. I have put so many hours into this game and nowhere near finished. Larian Studios made a game that is truly what games are supposed to be immersive and entertaining.

    150 hours of cinematics, no thanks. Turn based nonsense can go lob itself out a window, not enough hours in the day for this game unless you're a 24/7 gamer.

    Never played any other Baldur game before. Got this game gifted for my birthday.
    Put the game on max difficulty and only got like 15/20 hours played. Finally i can show off all that time spended in DND being a chaotic neutral character, but now with sex scenes. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not giving it a 10/10 on principle. Although it deserves praise for that. I'm giving it a 10/10 because this is the most enjoyable game I've played in a decade. I haven't looked forward to getting home from school/work for a video game since I was in high school. There's an incredible amount of freedom given to the player directly. The videogame somehow is delivered in a finished package in a state that plays just like a game of 5e at the table. Every time I've asked myself, "I wonder if I can...?" and saved the game before attempting the thing, I've been able to do it.

    The voice acting is filled with passion and joy for the project, the art and animation is a masterwork in it's field as well. The story and all of it's branches (that i've been able to touch on in my 100+ hours of gameplay) have been incredibly well though out, written, and even foreshadowed. All of the characters are incredibly believable as well. They're all... human... regardless of what race they are in game. By that I mean that I can see their personality existing.

    As you delve deeper into the story and begin meeting... important beings... you will come to find that even their characters are believable.

    Then there is the fact that it's just FUN. I am having a blast pushing enemies down into bottomless caverns, blowing them (and myself on a few occasions) up by using fire spells on explosive barrels, and all together just finding cheesy ways of doing things. In act 2, I found a neat chest that was locked and really wanted to lockpick it but since I was sort of stuck in a place with a demonic fog, the rogue couldn't lockpick it. So I picked the entire chest up, put it in my pocket, and walked away with it... gosh I love it.

    I can't even begin to exalt Baldur's Gate 3 enough. It's a fantastic gaming and story telling experience the likes of which we've never seen before and gosh do I hope we see it again.    … Expand

    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.
