    Fantastic game, I have been hooked right from the start, the well designed maps aren't extremely massive and packed enough to ensure throughout the journey there is never a moment of running around without something exciting happening. For those that don't like turn-based games this may not be them, but it should be a reason for many of the low scores on here.

    A beautiful story told with so many permutations it's mind boggling. The voice acting is top notch, down to even the most random NPC (and there are so many of them). One of the most notable games in a decade or more.

    It did justice to the best game of all time which is, BG2. The only thing better than that is BG2. This is known.

    Player choices matter, the grapics are great, the full PHB is included, the story is stellar, branching... I guess if I try real hard to find negatives I would say it has some bugs. Still the best game that came out it decades.

    Baldurs Gate 3 is a perfect gem. They translated Dungeons and Dragons from the table, with paper, pencil and dices to your screen. Characters are well built, story is fascinating you want to know more. It’s perfect

    Simply amazing game. It really does feel like you can do ANYTHING you want. Not only SHOULD this be the standard for AAA RPGs going forward it should be heralded as the best game made in the last 10 years. Great work Larian and thank you for giving me a game that actually excites me to play.

    Fantastic game with a ton of replay value, you can tell the developers want this game to be successful and loved with how much work they are continuing to put into the game. I look forward to seeing what else is added over time.

    Just started my second playthrough, and even just a couple of hours in I'm seeing things I never saw before.
    Such depth, such care taken. It even has a fantastic controller implementation for those of us who like that.

The game features dice rolls, ability checks, stat modifiers, etc. that people have come to associate with D&D. But even for those unfamiliar with the mega tabletop hit, Baldur's Gate 3 offers a unique and deep spin on the RPG genre, giving character choice and direction depth that has never before been seen in gaming.

    At its core, Baldur's Gate 3 is a standard fantasy RPG with a well tuned and tactical XCOM like battle system. Fights can be long and grueling, taking upwards of 30-45 minutes to finish, and positioning is key. Spells and classes are unique and well balanced in their implementation, although the D&D style combat dice rolling can be frustrating at times if you low roll a bunch in short span, the game is crystal clear though on the chance for your attack or ability to hit. Fights are also difficult and challenging, especially bosses and the larger encounters, some taking a couple trial and error runs with pre fight positioning and sequencing.

    Where the game truly shines above all others like it is in its breadth of player choice. You as the main player character can, effectively, do whatever you want. Yes, there are consequences, but there is never a shortage of options. In only my first several hours of gameplay I had killed 3 potential party members without even realizing. You can circumvent encounters with dialogue or character choices. You can turn yourself into an illithid monster and kill everything in your path. There are entirely too many possibilities to describe but if you can think of it you can usually do it.

    My most memorable and consequential decision came sometime in the early mid game when I arrived to the Last Light Inn. A character there revealed himself to me to be working for the 'Absolute' (bad guy) and that he wanted my help abducting the local priest who was protecting the inn with her magic. I chose to wait and see because I wanted to find a quiet way to dispatch of this guy and get an item he had that I wanted for myself. Immediately in my next conversation the guy made his move and abducted the priest right from the middle of everyone, without the priest the inn fell in to darkness and everybody there outside of my party died a grueling death. This is just an example of the consequences and intricacies within this game, everyone will have a different path and story through this game.

    Where the game does a little fall flat is in the 3rd act, which for the most takes place in a large city. The story, choices, and quests are just more straightforward here, lacking the diversity and polish of the previous areas. The game is also littered with visual and gameplay bugs that are typical for this genre. Missing textures or invisible objects can happen, the game can get stuck saving which prevents you from saving again or loading back into a previous save, I fully expect in future patches and developments for these issues to be fixed.

    Overall, due to some of its technical and story issues the game falls short of being in the top tier class of Skyrim or Witcher 3 for me. But it is without a doubt the most free and uninhibited RPG I have ever played.    … Expand

    I don't hand out 10's very often. The last game I considered an imperfect 10 is Dark Souls 1, The game before that was Majora's Mask.
    I say Imperfect 10 because there is no such thing as a true 10, every game has some bugs somewhere.

    It's a 10.

    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.
