    When a game that revolve around the dungeons and dragons mechanics gets good, you can notice it for the first hours, and this is no exception.
    Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the best RPG game I've played, and I get so involved in this, since the very first time I've roll my dices, that I've have already surpassed 100 hours of gameplay.
    What an awesome game

    Its generally good, but the optimization is not so good.
    It would be a GOTY for DND fans, but it is not a bad game for me only.

    At a vertern gamer, I kinda lost my interest in games nowadays, also, movies, music...... etc. Entertainment no longer built with passion, only with how much margin they can make. I had my doubt with BG3 because it's a name too big to carry by larian studio, and to my suprise they delivered it. It's not a perfect game, plenty rooms to improve here and there, but it's a game with passion.At a vertern gamer, I kinda lost my interest in games nowadays, also, movies, music...... etc. Entertainment no longer built with passion, only with how much margin they can make.

    I only hope the map of Baldur's Gate is bigger, I spend a long time imagine visit BG again after all these years, and it's smaller than BG1.    … Expand

    A masterpiece of a game!

Firstly, for a developer to release a FULL GAME without any required updates, DLC or microtransactions is a breath of fresh air and should be a wake up call to every other developer out there. On to the actual game itself; incredible! Every choice matters, even the small, seemingly insignificant ones can alter the story in ways you wouldn't expect leading to a "What if I did this differently?" curiosity that makes replaying the game very satisfying. The combat (although I didn't enjoy it at first since I'm usually not a fan of turn based combat) is very engaging and thought provoking, encouraging you to use trial and error to figure out the best way to best enemies.

    And finally, the characters. Oh the characters are so amazingly written, each having a very in depth personal quest that you can affect in a multitude of ways depending on if you have romanced them, they like you or they despise you. Each companion feels important to the story, like they belong in the world and that their opinions and feelings matter to your own character. All in all, there are a million ways to handle every situation and that is what makes this game just so damn good. The developers should be damn proud of this and I couldn't recommend it enough!    … Expand

    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.

    I played similar games like Divinity 2, but wasn't a huge fan of the gameplay, as I am not into turn based games usually.

    However, baldur gate blew me away, while my expectations were low. The story and the way it paths out is simply amazing. Talking about it with friends, our experiences are vastly different and it is fun to hear how our storyline has changed between us.

    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.

    If the cut content form act 3 wasn't so noticeable, I would have gave this game a 10. But the End and some of act 3 feels unfinished or the cut contend / Quests are very noticeable, so its a 9. But even with those cons, its a masterpiece.

    Juego de rol puro y duro, bastante de nicho. Si has probado otros ya sabes a lo que te enfrentas, si no, es un buen juego para iniciarse ya que tiene mecánicas modernas, así como la información que muestra en pantalla es fácil de entender (daño del arma, resistencias, etc).

I hope with the mainstream success, Larian will make an even grander game set in Faerun in the future. There are only a few small things that I see as a step backwards personally:

    Firstly, unlike in BG1 and BG2, in BG3 there is no Day/Night cycle which takes away from immersion of the world.

    Secondly I prefer starting small to see the progress of the characters in their journey into more fantastic areas/characters later on. BG3 started over the top in the Nine Hells, inside a teleporting Illithid ship chased by dragons and more Tieflings – that are considered to be rare – than humans in the first act.

    Thirdly, I would love to have an option to disable the cinematic camera in conversations. I rather prefer to play the game fully in a top down view and let my imagination work on it, rather than seeing 3D models from close-up, where they lose their charm and fidelity. The models look amazing from afar, but while being unmatched for this type of game, they still aren‘t good enough for close-ups.

    Conclusion: For this reason I would give it only a 8/10. But I will add 1 point to the fact, that I‘ve been waiting for a game like this for over 20 years now and I am just glad it happened, making it a 9/10.    … 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.
