    It’s Baldur’s Gate… that is all you need to know about this. Baldur’s Gate 2 Dark Alliance was the first game I played to get into the series with my brother and cousins growing up during summer vacation. Since then I’ve played them all and this was one of the games I was HIGHLY ANTICIPATING this year as it seemed like the clear winner for GOTY and how beautiful the game looked.

Honestly pick this game up on pc vs console though the PS5 version is looking great too!!! Expand

    I am loving this game so far. As someone that grew up with DnD, this is a game that satisfies an itch that's gone unscratched for decades.

    Most modern games put out garbage and monitize everything. They don't respect the players time and money and it shows in the garbage they put out. BG3 goes above and beyond to bring a unique and replayable experience to us, the players. I can also

    Most modern games put out garbage and monitize everything. They don't respect the players time and money and it shows in the garbage they put out. BG3 goes above and beyond to bring a unique and replayable experience to us, the players. I can also start an adventure with my friends and have a high quality experience. I wish the industry at large would learn from this but they won't because they are greedy. Which is why I no longer buy games until I see the reviews and player experiences. I don't reward them with my business once they ruin the reputation. (cough cough - mass effect, assasin's creed, Cyberpunk, etc.)

    I bought this and it runs great on my mac native right off steam, which I'm surprised by. I may end up buying it again for my PS5 just to reward them extra money for doing it right. it has cross save platform feature which is both thoughtful and practical.

    I think there is nothing in the nearest future that will be better than this.

    A great game with fantastic gameplay, dnd, and a great Story. The dnd Part is very easy to learn and every Newcomer will be able to understand the "rules".

    Game of the year. 11/10 No micro transactions no **** Just a great world to lose yourself in and do WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO. Anyone giving this less then 10/10 is a moron who probably hasn't played games in the decade.

    Quelle aventure !! 60 heures de jeu et je ne me lasse toujours pas. La musique, l'ambiance, le scenario, la liberté, la strategie des combats, tout est vraiment génial.
    Cependant le jeu ne plaira pas à tout le monde, c'est un gameplay assez lent, personnellement j'adore.

    New to the genre and normally not that much into such games. However this game and the community make it to easy to get into it. So much different approaches/options on how you can progress also gives the game a good reason to not just play through it once. Top 3 GOTY 2023 candidate for me

    RPG dream, an absolute masterpiece. The only drawback to this game is that I can't stop playing, which is why I've been sleepy all the time since its release. Totally worth the price.
    Thank you Larian!

    Für mich persönlich, war Final Fantasy 16 mein GOTY einfach weil es ein Spiel ist, das fertig ist ohne Mikrotransaktionen oder Battle Pass.

    Allerdings hatte ich nicht das riesige Ausmaß von BG3 auf dem Schirm. Das was geboten wird ist das was man in vielen Spielen vergeblich sucht. Jede Entscheidung kann zu Dingen führen die man nicht wollte oder doch will. Gut geschriebene Charaktere.

    Gut geschriebene Charaktere. Klasse Quests. Ein Soundtrack der begeistert. Und Wiederspielwert der einem das Spiel wieder komplett neu erleben lässt.
    Das Spiel kommt nicht ganz ohne Bugs, aber ich finde darüber kann man hinweg sehen, dafür bekommen ein Spiel geboten das es so schön lange nicht mehr gegeben hat. Man kann viel darüber schreiben und reden, aber man sollte sich sein eigenes Bild machen.
    Für die die es spielen oder gespielt haben und oder in Zukunft noch spielen wollen einfach viel Spaß

    What an amazing game. Beutiful art-style, music, believable writting and dialogs. Great voice acting. Game where choice is real. Trully captivating. This game is a statement to the industry, how much they have fallen.

    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.
