    This is a truly enchanting game. I've been playing for 60 hours (just finished the second act), and I just don't understand how the developers made it so that the game does not get boring and does not get boring.

    Stunning 100/10

The freedom it offers isn't just about making choices, but about crafting a personal narrative that feels uniquely mine with every playthrough. The characters spring to life through stellar voice acting, making every interaction memorable. However, it's the captivating music and meticulous motion capture that truly weave magic, immersing me deeply in its fantastical realm.

    Exploring the vast world is an adventure in itself. Every nook and cranny seems to hold secrets, each corner beckoning with the promise of a new tale to be unfolded. The landscapes are not just visually breathtaking, but they resonate with stories, quests, and mysteries that are begging to be unraveled.
    Playing multiplayer is reminiscent of those epic D&D sessions with friends - a mix of strategy, camaraderie, and shared tales of valor. And the depth of content? Staggering. But what truly gets my adrenaline pumping is the character progression. Every level up feels like a triumph, ushering in new avenues of gameplay and strategies.

    In essence, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't merely a game for me. It's a continuously unfolding epic, an evergreen adventure that I deeply treasure.    … Expand

    This game is phenomenal. There is a play style for everyone. It has drama, romance, action, great driving story. And it perfectly incorporates several familiar aspects for fans of DnD. I highly recommend this game to anyone who has the time to play it.

    Mejor juego de lo que llevamos de año. Infinitas posibilidades, personajes carismáticos, fantástica BSO, magnífica acción... Lo tiene todo, se nota cuando un desarrollador hace un juego con mimo y viendo lo que opina la comunidad. Sin duda un 10/10

    Game of the Decade. I don't say that lightly considering how incredible games have been these past few years. Larian took high expectations and exceeded them.

Larian took high expectations and exceeded them. They are a heartwarming story of an underdog studio making a AAA game of all AAA games. There is so much QUALITY in this game that it makes AAA studios look like kittens. I don't know why it's so difficult nowadays for most studios to deliver a complete game from the very beginning that focuses on the consumer experience rather than making money with things like DLC or unlock artificial experience blockers. Larian didn't fall prey to the looter-shooter facade where you need to collect tons of random gear that they can then force you to pay-to-win for the best. There is so much to do in this game but not like Assassin's creed nonsense where you get inundated with side quests after side quests. There is so much hand crafted story telling, so many cutscenes, interactions, and reactions to who you are and the choices you make that it makes it feel like a real, breathing world. BG3 delivers an experience of the decade all for just one price while making other bigger studios look like amateurs. You can really tell this development team has such an amazing passion for making games and making the player enjoy the experience.… Expand

    A great deep dive in DnD experience. Every piece of the game is a handcrafted to make your choices relevant. Its probably the most ambicious RPG game that I ever played, ando certainly creates a new paradigma for the default experience of the genre in the AAA segment.

    Embarking on a journey through the realms of Baldur's Gate 3 has been nothing short of a captivating and exhilarating experience.

As a passionate RPG enthusiast, I recently had the privilege of diving into the final release of the game alongside my friends, and the result was a truly unforgettable adventure that showcased the game's prowess in both storytelling and cooperative gameplay.

    From the very beginning, it was evident that Baldur's Gate 3 had transcended its early access phase and emerged as a polished masterpiece. The attention to detail in its world-building and character development was immediately striking. Every location we explored felt alive, teeming with both subtle nuances and grand landscapes that invited us to immerse ourselves fully. Each character we encountered, whether ally or adversary, was intricately woven into the overarching narrative, adding depth to a tale that was as engaging as it was expansive.

    The heart of our journey, however, lay in the collaborative experience that Baldur's Gate 3 effortlessly facilitated. Playing alongside my friends, we found ourselves strategizing, planning, and laughing as we delved into the game's intricately designed turn-based combat system. The battles were not just opportunities for victory, but canvases for creative problem-solving. We reveled in leveraging the environment to our advantage, capitalizing on each character's unique abilities, and triumphing through teamwork. These moments of shared achievement reinforced the idea that Baldur's Gate 3 is not just a game, but a conduit for strengthening the bonds between players.

    The game's departure from the early access phase was evident in its refined mechanics, seamless gameplay, and the assurance that the developer, Larian Studios, had paid heed to the invaluable feedback of its dedicated player base. It was clear that the journey from early access to final release had been a labor of love, resulting in a product that was meticulously crafted and enhanced with the player experience in mind.

    However, what truly resonated with me was the way Baldur's Gate 3 ignited a sense of camaraderie among my friends and me. The memories we forged, the challenges we conquered, and the stories we co-wrote within the game's expansive universe will undoubtedly remain cherished for years to come. Baldur's Gate 3 had not merely entertained us; it had united us in a shared narrative, weaving our personal tales into the grand tapestry of the game itself.

    In comparison to other RPGs, like the highly anticipated Diablo 4, Baldur's Gate 3 stands tall as a testament to the genre's evolution. Its gripping storytelling, meticulous world-building, and emphasis on cooperative gameplay elevate it to a league of its own. While each game has its own merits, Baldur's Gate 3's ability to forge connections among players and offer a multifaceted experience is unparalleled.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph that surpasses expectations. As both an RPG enthusiast and a friend, I can attest to its ability to captivate, challenge, and unite players in a way that only exceptional games can. Whether you're a fan of rich narratives, strategic gameplay, or simply looking to share an unforgettable journey with friends, Baldur's Gate 3 is an adventure you won't want to miss.    … Expand

    Baldurs Gate 3 is a true genre defining masterpiece by an extremely talented and well-managed studio.

    It is difficult to find words because I am simply so blown away by the depth of both the game mechanics and the story. The amount of possible interactions in Baldurs gate 3 is just unprecedented. I've been playing PC games and plenty of CRPG's since 1994 but Baldurs gate 3 takes the cake and is likely the best game I have played in my lifetime. Take what you expect of tags such as "choices matter", "story rich" or "turn-based" and add a multiplier and the end result will be Baldurs Gate 3.

    I hope that the gaming industry giants will thoroughly research both what makes Baldurs Gate 3 the game it is as well as what makes Larian such an amazing studio. I believe the seeds of what would become the studio that could create Baldurs Gate 3 began already with the difficult financial situation Larian was in before Divinity Original Sin I and there's a lot of important lessons to unravel and learn from in how to foster a good culture within a gaming studio, how to lead and manage teams, how to technically develop games and how and when to listen to the community and the gamers.

    Thank you so much Larian for Baldurs Gate 3 -- you have created a truly special gem of a game that a lot of us will love and enjoy for a long time to come.    … Expand

    A sheer masterpiece of a game. A true project of passion that respects gamers time, money, and desire for quality. Nearly every aspect of this game is evidence of a love for the craft as opposed to overt greed via bare minimum aspiration.

    This game is gorgeous, and the environments are varied. The companions are fascinating and extremely interesting and likeable. Itemization is great,    A sheer masterpiece of a game. A true project of passion that respects gamers time, money, and desire for quality. Nearly every aspect of this game is evidence of a love for the craft as opposed to overt greed via bare minimum aspiration.

    This game is gorgeous, and the environments are varied. The companions are fascinating and extremely interesting and likeable. Itemization is great, its actually fun to find magic items and learn about all the neat things they can do. Freedom of choice is interwoven in to the very fabric of every fork in the road. Combat is a bit slow, but extremely fun and interesting. They nailed the feeling of 5E D&D. The game is mind-boggingly repayable as every narrative choice has the potential of profoundly changing entire outcomes of the game as you play on.

    In an age where everything needs to have a shallow battle pass progression system, overpriced cosmetic store, pay-to-win MTX, and treadmill gaming where you feel like you're going in circles without any actual meaningful content to make it worthwhile, this game feels like an absolute unicorn, and it's sad, because just 15-20 years ago, this type of game was the expected norm.

    Of course no game is perfect, and there are some minor blemishes here, but I honestly wish I could give this game 11/10. Larian deserves it, and the game industry needs to take note. I sure hope they keep hitting it out of the park. They feel like the old Blizzard and Bioware used to feel like when every game release was a massive legendary banger.

    Do yourself a favour and buy this game, and while you're at it go back and try the Divinity Series as they are also fantastic.    … 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.
