    I really admire games coming from Larian Studio. Divinity 2 has made a golden standard for cRPG to me.

Obviously there were some minor issues on the way, but nothing gamebreaking. I feel same but even better for Baldur's Gate 3. It is awesome game with great and polished mechanics and a really good storyline. I am over 80 hours into it in just 11 days of gameplay and I am loving every part of this game. Strong recommendation and a GOLDEN STANDARD for any future game coming from any greedy and complaining studio. Expand

    Not even the powers of a fettered Prince Orpheus could make me resist the urge to play this game. It is as close to a table top D&D adventure as I have ever seen on PC.

The dialogue options are plentiful without being overwhelming. The combat variety is excellent, ranging from pecker-engorging slaughterfests to cheek-clenching-single-remaining-turn escapes. Graphics are great for the most part with some jank here and there. The continuity with BG1 & BG2 is logical without being overarching. I would have paid significantly more than I did for this game. Thanks for the memories Larian Studios. You have filled up and fortified my faith in video game developers. The film and television industry should be taking notes. Expand

    A Larien Studios fez um trabalho fenomenal. Cenários absurdamente detalhados, NPCs vivos de verdade (literalmente cada um tem um nome, uma história, uma vocação, uma profissão), questlines muito bem elaboradas, muitas, muitas, mas muitas opções de diálogos e formas de resolver as coisas.

    and the top of all that, you can talk to so many NPCs, and even animals.

    Baldur's Gate 3 sempre foi uma preocupação grande para os jogares antigos da série, pois tinhamos muito receio da questão da jogabilidade em turnos.
    Também ficamos receosos com a questão do jogo ficar muito parecido com DOS2.

    Larian excels at creating gripping tension in every aspect, and the characters are absolutely captivating. The writing is top-notch.
    Even if you're not a die hard dos2 fan, you should consider buying this. The D&D rules are faithfully preserved, with minimal adjustments to accommodate dos2's style, and the essence of the source rules books is beautifully retained.

    Your heroic characters will have the incredible ability to effortlessly lift and hurl barrels, unlike the game's prequel DOS2, which deliberately avoids any resemblance to the grid-based battles found in Disgaea.

    Yeah, this is for you, Zelda fanboy or BOOMER who despises what BG3 is doing and achieving.

    how could you give less than 10? has raised the standards of the rpg genre, starting today any rpg game that doesn't come close to baldur's gate makes no sense for a developer to release it.

    Perfect game to roleplay in the forgotten realms of dungeons and dragons. This is one of those game that is marked as a "must play" no microtransactions and very good devs. Final review score 10 enjoy :)

    A true D&D game without the name, it's perfect for groups that don't know a DM. We've got a couple of games going and each playthrough is wildly different from the last. Turn based combat works really well in a co-op game, allowing for stacking of abilities and planning out who to kill/knock out etc.

    One thing that would have made this game even better would be voice lines for the player's choices. Or when playing co-op, a bit more visibility on what was chosen, as some players take it quite fast. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the options, and then they've already chosen an option before you could have your input.. Then you couldn't see the option they chose, it's caused a few arguments around how it should be selected and if the player talking should actually read out their choice before selecting.

    Game is better than literally any other RPG I've played, so it takes my coveted singular 10/10 spot, until another game hits my personal marks better to take that spot. Currently have 170 hours in it, 130 since launch. Have gotten almost to the end of the game and have loved the journey.

    BG3 is the best electronic rpg of all time, it makes Zelda look like an old car all torn apart and broken. The beauty of BG3 is sublime on all levels, the criticisms here are mostly untrue and without any sense of fanaticism as if the game or platform were religion. The only criticism I have about BG3, is that the camera system could have been improved on viewing angle and way of tracking.

    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.
