    The PERFECT RPG, Bioware should learn from this game, AAA publishers does'nt make games like this anymore, LAZY developers complaining about the large scope of the game just shows how screwed up the industry is nowadays.

    I have never played a game that can draw me so much attention in a story based game, usually I would fall asleep and feel bored, but this game is doing the opposite. The story is very immersive. I actually care about some of the characters fate instead of messing around and choosing all the wrong choices for laugh. The characters are very unique, each character has their personality differI have never played a game that can draw me so much attention in a story based game, usually I would fall asleep and feel bored, but this game is doing the opposite. The story is very immersive. I actually care about some of the characters fate instead of messing around and choosing all the wrong choices for laugh. The characters are very unique, each character has their personality differ from others which makes it easier to recognize when there are hundreds of character in the game.

    The story is very well-written since it gives me the details little by little when I am progressing and this brings up my curiosity and want to know more about what's going on. I honestly thought I would give up halfway before I started playing this game because of the combat, but in the end, I have no regret at all for playing the game. It really worths my time spent in the game and it gives me the satisfaction of exploring and doing the strategy based combat.    … Expand

    Sencillamente el mejor juego que he jugado en mi vida, y tengo casi 30 años jugando. No sé cómo describir lo fascinante que es. La historia es interesante y envolvente, y cada decisión te puede llevar por caminos muy distintos. Las misiones secundarias se sientes vivas, importantes, gusta hacerlas.

Puedes rolear como se te antoje.
    El tema de la banda sonora ya es bastante obvio como para comentarlo, pero lo diré en una palabra: excelente.
    Una de las cosas que más me gusta es que es un juego hecho para adultos. Además hay romances y escenas para todos los gustos.
    Debes jugar este juego ya!    … Expand

    Muhteşem ötesi, Türkçe dil seçeneği olması ayrı bir güzel. Keşke d&d 2 kurallarına göre yapılsaymış. Lakin dwarf thief falan biraz tuhaf oluyor :)

    The best RPG ever created. Also free from predatory practices such as ingame currencies, microtransactions, seasons and "games as a service". BG3 gives you 100% distraction free quality gameplay. Their implementation of the DnD 5e ruleset is great. The story, the sounds, the music, the graphics are all amazingly well put together. They evidently put a lot of love into this game.

The lifespan of this game is fantastic. Throw all your money at Larian Studios. Show the other studios that this type of game is more profitable then their predatory practises. Every game should be like BG3. Pay once and enjoy the game - without the studio constantly grabbing for your wallet as you play.

    Adorei esse jogo, é a experiencia mais proxima de um RPG de mesa que um videogame já chegou. Até pensei que não seria tão bom quanto BG1 e BG2, mas conseguiu me superar. Dificil algum jogo tirar o Goty de 2023 de baldurs gate 3.

    This game is absolutely incredible. Baldur's Gate 3 is the new standard by which not only RPGs should be measured, but video games as a medium. The love, care, and attention to detail at every angle is staggering. Larian Studios is leading by example and showing the rest of the industry how it's done.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is nothing less than an absolute masterpiece. From the superb D&D 5e I love every second I’m playing this game! So happy I know I’m not missing out on quests and items just because I’m not paying any more than I’m supposed to. and thank you

    I was waiting 23 years. Totally worth it. Gameplay, story, music and npcs are over the top. And it still has classic Baldurs Gate vibe.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to describe how good this game is.
    Baldur's Gate 3 is pretty close to an authentic table-top role-playing game.
    You are basically free to do whatever you want. It's both frightening and refreshing.
    It's beautiful and the musics are very nice.

    I'll try to describe how I've lived the game. I've spent 110 hours to finish the game the first time.
    The story was epic. I've experienced a love story with a woman companion that I thought was interesting. I was pretty satisfied with the conclusion.
    Immediately after I've started another game with a completely different character and romanced another woman. The romance story unraveled very differently so it was new again. The story was still epic even if I approached the various events differently (and it worked).

    I will not forget this game any time soon.
    It has been a long time I've played something so revolutionary.    … Expand

    baldur's gate 3 is a visual treat, packing in all the dungeons & dragons classes we love. it feels like an upgraded divinity 2, with choices and encounters that can go a zillion different ways. seriously, if you're into d&d or just looking for a wild ride, this is your game.

    What an absolutely fantastic game. It took me a little while to get into, but once I did.... man, i was hooked. It's the perfect balance of forgiving and punishing. And the best part? No additional DLC. What you pay for is what you get (one solid and complete game). A masterpiece to say the least. 10/10

    Closest PnP experience Ive ever experienced in a videogame.
    I liked Divnity OS1 and OS2, but I LOVE Baldurs Gate 3.
    My DnD Group is on a long term standby for a long time now and this game gives me the feeling back I missed so much. Its not for everyone, but if you like CRPG or pen and paper / tabletop RPG, this game is literally a masterpiece!

    10*/10 by far. This game is just perfect. If anyone has doubt about this I urge them to play the game.
    My review doesn't have anything to do with "the state of the gaming industry" or other nonsense like that. This game is just good regardless of the comparison with other games.
    Divinity: Original sin was good but the first act was really annoying and way too puzzle-ish for my taste.    10*/10 by far. This game is just perfect. If anyone has doubt about this I urge them to play the game.

    Divinity: Original sin was good but the first act was really annoying and way too puzzle-ish for my taste.
    Divinity: Original sin II, first act was a bit too hard but the game became more balanced after you gained a few levels. I think this was made so you really feel that you are in a bad situation and it's not easy to get out of it.
    Baldur's Gate 3 is perfectly balanced on all difficulty levels from the start and the game is really fun from the first scene. The story is crazy and the game is just awesome, the replayability of it is insane.
    It's easy to just lose hundreds of hours into it and not feel the passing of time at all.
    The game also makes you second guess every dialog and decision that you make.
    I love it.    … 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.
