    BG3 is a love letter to those of us who love CRPGS and DnD. I haven't had this much fun playing a video game for a very, very long time. The level of reactivity to your decisions is astounding. The characters you meet and travel with are all interesting and well fleshed out.

Featuring a fantastic story full of heart, wonderful voice acting, I felt connected to the story from beginning to end.

    I have seen a lot of comments about the ending of the game not measuring up to the beginning. I disagree. I think it does end a little abruptly *just like every dnd campaign*, but a sprawling epilogue isnt needed. The story isn't the one that plays just before the credits, its the one you participated in for the 100+ hours it took you to get there. There were some minor bugs in my playthrough, but none that truly detracted from my experience. Things like t-posing ghouls in the background of a cutscene, or a romance scene playing twice. My performance was great across the board, though I am running a pretty solide rig.

    All in all I will be playing and replaying this game for years to come. Bravo Larian! P.S., please make an expansion or Baldurs gate 4!    … Expand

    The game is simply fantastic. Played several hours in early access and the full game did not disappoint. Dedication Larian has shown to the detail of the game is apparent. It is wonderful to see a developer who actually cares about making an artistic, fully fledged product. Excited to see how further updates continue to improve this already amazing game.

    the level design is so well done for a map this huge, the story is so flexible and the characters so well written that I can't point any relevant flaw, i love it.
    not to mention the absence of microtrasantions and expensive DLC's that are just a part of the game that should be part of the base game, i hope larian studios set a new standard for such a damaged industry filled with lazy,    the level design is so well done for a map this huge, the story is so flexible and the characters so well written that I can't point any relevant flaw, i love it.

    The best CRPG i've played so far.
    Pros:
    - Good acting, everything is voice acted
    - impactful choices
    - balanced
    - itemization feels good
    - character developement
    - 1 price 1 game

    things i'd like:
    - Ironman mode (1 save)
    - party management

    Still, the best game i've played in a long time. Thanks Larian for your integrity and hard work.

While the game undoubtedly as its bugs, an issue no dev team seems immune to, the fact of it that for a AA studio to put our a game that brings players more fun and entertainment than what the likes of even the top tier AAA studios seem to be capable of, is a fantastic feat. With some extra love and care, something I believe Larian is absolutely capable of putting in, I imagine BG3 is going to have a strong running to be Game of the Year for many, many players.… Expand

    A big win for Larian. Choices matter gameplay (real choices that actually impact the game) is back. Replayability, strategic combat, and best yet... toss the meta out of the window and still build a viable character and play the way you want. I love this game

    By far one of the best RPGs I've had the pleasure of playing. There's so much freedom to play how you want whether that's good/evil/both, near limitless replayability, in-depth story, and hours upon hours of gameplay and hidden details/quests if you explore.

    Gran sucesor de BG2 y BG1. Me ha sorprendido gratamente. Recoge muy bien el espíritu de un juego de rol de mesa y las tramas son muy variadas

    BG3 gives so much agency to the player, it feels like it is on an entirely different level than the game that came before it. It stands among the RPG greatest hits for me, and Larian feels a lot like Bioware felt during their prime. I feel the same emotional highs I felt when first playing Mass Effect or KOTOR.

It's an increasingly rare type of gem among today's Video Games, where Live Service and Micro Transactions water down the base experience of most new titles.

    BG3 remains faithful to the DnD 5e experience by taking the base rules, and then bending and homebrewing those rules where it makes sense for the sake of fun or balance.

    It is a complete package, much like the Baldurs Gate titles that released before it, with no need to buy a season pass or a DLC to get the full and complete experience.

    I look forward to more amazing titles from Larian studios in the coming years, hopefully a Starfinder title? One can hope.    … Expand

    I find it very funny how you can go on the negative reviews and almost none of them say anything true about the game, sure some of them give some feedback but thats very rare. There's a ton of 0/10 to balance the game, or people rating it 0 while rating diablo 4 an 8 (after the season 1 patch) or someone rating every game thats impacted culture 0, 1 or 2. Its honestly great.

As for the actual game, act 1 and 2 are damn near perfect, im not a big fan of crpgs but this game feels so smooth that its easy to pick up, cutscenes are perfect, story is good and bug free for the most part. The problem is with act 3. The amount of bugs in act 3 could bring this down to an 8 or 9 but its Larian. I trust theyll fix these bugs (none of them are game breaking mind you (at least in my path)). Most games have 10x more bugs with a bigger development team and a small scope. Cant stress how much i recommend this game… Expand

    This game has no right to be this good. It has infected my family like a disease. We are consumed by playing this game. My fiancée who exclusively plays Overwatch, has stopped playing OW to experience BG3 which is nothing short of a miracle. 11/10

    If you've ever wanted a "d&d but a video game" game then I can't reccomend it enough. The story is great, the classes are great, the humor is on point, and with several endings it's repayable to an unexpected degree.

    Have been playing crpgs for more than 20 years. I’m a veteran gamers in general. Never bothered to leave a review for any game. But here guys, it is something different. I felt I must put this off my heart as Larian Studio deserves this.
    Very simple and to the point:
    This is the Mona Lisa of gaming history. Period.

    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.
