    It is definitely a perfect example of a role model in the gaming industry.

    An absolute masterpiece for fans of the genre and a sign that there's still hope for modern games.

    Great game, needs patches, and atm randoms can join your game, and they become permanent to your party. This is not good. I want to make my own party. Make sure your in offline mode at start of character build to stop this or it's a full restart build if it happens. There is also no option to enlarge inventory screens. Icons are tiny at 4k. Will update review when patched. This will be aGreat game, needs patches, and atm randoms can join your game, and they become permanent to your party. This is not good. I want to make my own party.

    it's a joke if you compare it to the old games, from the gameplay (5E turn based only) to the dialogue (which is cringe to the core, you'll roll your eyes every 5 minutes, especially the humor) companions that are all the embarrassment, but unfortunately if you play alone, what's the point of playing a game like this? Romance and s44x is only there to lure people into playing the game

    Reminiscent of the Golden age of PC rpgs, only better. D+D rules, strategic combat, full scope interaction with the world. This game is the absolute gold standard.

    the legend of zelda is also good but BG3 is something more different.
    10/10 i think BG3 could be game of the year.
    Not only fun but represent the big breaking thorough of CRPG, the influence is hard to see these decade. Did raise the bar for all past and future CRPG games. Just as swen said in panel from hell, the peak they bring to the game just same as BG2 did as a pioneer before.    the legend of zelda is also good but BG3 is something more different.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolute masterpiece that takes the RPG genre to new heights, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience that will leave you utterly spellbound. Larian Studios has outdone themselves, crafting a game that seamlessly blends captivating storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and deep gameplay mechanics into a symphony of gaming perfection. This is 100% game of the year!

    100% GOTY. There is no way that some DLC for Zelda will be rated higher than this big and interesting journey.

    Larian's best game and the best CRPG right now. This game is literally DnD on steroids and easily be the game of the year.

    Overall boring indie game, combat is obviously outdated, unless you wanna feel nostalgic and pretend it's 90s again. I personally don't want to do that. Graphics are fine, but nothing amazing, not even comparable to stuff like Cyberpunk 2077.

    Fights are really slow, even tiny battles feel endless. The talking is as bad as fan stories. The friends are either bothersome or not at all interesting. And the whole game is very dirty and full of weird stuff. It's really disappointing to see what they did with Baldur's Gate. I won't play it again.

    This game has made me happy about gaming again. Its such a high quality game clearly made with love and passion instead of only checking of a checklist of things there should be in a game.

    - a game that's finished developing on release
    - a game that has more content as expected
    - a game that is not sold more expensive then other games lately - a game that does not try to implement buzzword features - a game that sticks to it's heritage So you can call the complex system and turn based battle oldschool and complicated, but that's the direct adaptation of the D&D rules    - a game that's finished developing on release

    I had high expectation because I was hyped by the first and second games of this trilogy. I wasn't disappointed and the quality of the scripts, the immersion, the game play, everything show me that this game is the best RPG game ever.

    Rare to find a game these days where you pay one price and one price only and get thousands of hours worth of gameplay. Loads of customization on characters amazing story great cutscenes and good looking game. The Big companies need to tanke notice. No massive issues with release it was very smooth. Game of the year if not decade

    There should be more companies that think about making a good game well done and put money in the background, which will come anyway. 10 not for the game, but for the commitment and attention given to development even after launch.

    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.
