This is an example of a game done extremely well, and we can only hope beyond hope to get more games like it. Well worth the price of purchase, as I can't see anyone finding a reason to hate the game. In fact I believe this is one of those titles that several years later will have people delving into it's many stories and secrets.… Expand

    Truly amazin, better than BG1 and BG2 and far superior to every AAA gaming studio's release in the last 5 or 10 years!

    A proof that it's possible to make a great game with a soul. More companies should take example from Larian, I played their other games and all of them are really good and each one is better then previous one. Highly recommend to everyone!

    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Unfortunately, I've seen comments in a similar fashion. Unlike some people, I enjoyed the level cap in a CRPG. In the DoS series, I enjoy min/maxing. Since the maximum level is uncapped, I felt pressured to kill some characters that I wouldn't otherwise. Here, I felt more freedom. Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic;    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic; however, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's much less crowd control, which means fights resemble actual battles rather than one party stun-locking the other throughout the entire fight.

    The story is marvelous in my opinion. I don't like games where my character wakes up one morning, and for an hour, the game tries to tell the backstory. The game starts with action and ends with action.

    One issue is that, until Act 3, the story flows intensely along a narrower path. In Act 3, the game takes you to a very large city where you need to slow down and adapt to new stories, unless you want to skip all the content and rush through the main story. I felt a bit conflicted about it because I didn't want to miss out on side content, but I really wanted to follow the main story. However, I can't give it a low score because there's so much content in the game, lol.

    Also, I must mention that the romance aspect is terrible. I completely ignored it throughout the whole game because the dialogues are too amateurish. I wish they hadn't included it at all if they didn't have the time to align it with the overall quality.    … Expand

    文句なしのGOTY2023だと思います。
    ストーリーがとにかく濃い。
    選択肢も多くどれもちゃんとその後の展開に影響する。
    こんなのはウィッチャー3以来。
    加えてジョブ/クラスの多さがより戦闘システムを深化させている。

    BG3 is probably the best game to come out in the last 15 years and apart from a few bugs causing the game to crash every now and then it's near perfect

    Absolute stellar game, a masterpiece. Intrinsic stories with a great cast. Visually striking imagery and the world itself. Nuances in its voice-acting and great turn-based gameplay.

It's to no surprise that there will be many in a game of such a scope and Larian (the studio behind the game) are constantly pushing out fixes. Still, it can take you out of the immersion from time to time from cutscenes not appearing to characters walking through walls. The other big downside is sometimes the camera really doesn't know what it's doing in battle and cutscenes at times and it can be a little frustrating, and sometimes downright hilarious. Either way, this game is spectacular and is truly a once in a generation type game. I wish other studios gave as much heart and soul to this game like they do instead of running it into the ground with micro-transactions - which this game is free from anything in-game. Major kudos to the team, you should be proud!… Expand

    GOTY quality.

    This is the quality of games we as a community have been looking for. A modernized return to the classic style rpg. No monetization or gimmicks post release that lock away game play or features. When a game is actually good, there's no need for cash shops and predatory monetization.

    Baldur's Gate 3 has immortalized Larian Studios among gamers.

    This game just really surprised me. Started off playing it in early access and turned every rock i could find in part 1. Its just so well made, the cutscenes are amazing, it actually has consequenses so if you do some evil **** it will impact your conversations and gameplay later in the game. Really a nice way to play DND 5e digitally.

    This is without a doubt the best RPG I have ever played. Just wow. Everything about it is just perfect. The story is really thrilling and grasps you. Every companion is super well written and has something interesting to them. Also the lack of bugs and the complete non existence of micro transactions makes this a unicorn in the current game market. This might just be my favorite game of all time.

    No BS microtransactions to distract and extract, no nonsensical battle pass, just a wonderful game made by some wonderful people.

    It's not very often I see a dude in a suit of armor with a bunch of devs dressed in cosplay and ultimately become endeared to them as they exude a dedication to the game itself. It really shows in their work.

    this is something incredible in the gaming industry today

    The number of variations in the development of the plot just blows the roof, the combat system is just perfect, the visualization is excellent. There is NO DONATE in the game, they would give it to close ones (small indie studio), skills of tier 5 would be for money, one hundred percent!)

    Low bow to you for such a game, amen

    This game made me remember what it was like to have a real game rather than microtransaction ads and unfun/terrible game design masquerading as a real game (looking at you Diablo 4). I haven't played turn-based since FF7 but love BG3.

    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.
