    Um dos melhores jogos já feitos de todos os tempos. Detalhes e carinho por parte da desenvolvedora, que valorizam os gamers. Campanhas que duram horas e horas; cantinhos a serem explorados; mundo vivo; combate estratégico e divertido; historia engajante... enfim, tudo que um ótimo RPG deve ter e um bom jogo no geral, deveria ter. Maravilhoso!

    Superlative CRPG

    a game for 2 decades or more. Especially if they release a Game Master mode in coming years (like DoS2)

    Finally this generation also has a real RPG that you can get lost in for months and that everyone, absolutely everyone, will play sooner or later.

    In addition, Larian does not squeeze players or abandon games. They will curate it for years, give away digital goodies and zero DLCs. Big time!

Brilliant and genius, almost puts other triple A developers to shame. BG3 has NO MICROTRANSACTIONS, no DRM (no Denuvo), and has released in a largely bug free state. Game is very consumer friendly and respectful.… Expand

    Larian Studio truly never disappoints! The most flawless video game I have ever played in terms of Narrative, playing this game truly sets you on an adventure with no boundaries.

    Nothing can stop this game from getting GOTY as only Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes close.

    Bad-
    Some bugs and a bit of cutscene jank take away from the immersion. Frame drops occur later in the game.

    Thoughts-
    Baldur’s Gate 3 is a triumph for many reasons. Story-telling, combat, dialogue, choices, visuals, music, voice-acting, pacing, side quest design, complexity – everything feels spot-on, and the attention to detail is insane. That’s not accounting for the sheer replay value with all the classes, subclasses, spells, paths, decisions and much more. Even with its imperfections, slight as they may be, Larian has once again raised the bar for role-playing games.    … Expand

    Good game. One of few modern games with love and passion put into it. My favorite part about the game is how much choice you have, already from the start when making your character your choices will influence the story, all the way to how you speak to people and act.

    As a huge fan of the Baldur Gates franchise this might be the biggest disappointment of all time and I am not exaggerating.

And don't get me started on the historical inaccuracies.. But worst of all is the story which I won't spoil but rest assured it is a huge slap in the face of the long term fans of the franchise who grew up playing Siege of Dragonspear and hanging out on the subreddit, sharing tips and tales with the awesome community. At this point I honestly believe it would have been better to NOT make a new Baldur Gates so we can keep the great memories instead of this cash-in garbage.… Expand

    A competent CRPG from the post-quality age. I could write a list of glaring faults (example: no text or voice chat in multiplayer) so long that your eyes would glaze over. Other than that, the game narrowly skates by on the enjoyability of its mechanics. Not a 0/10, not a 10/10; it is truly insane to suggest either score.

    High-quality cutscenes, in-depth dialogues, rich exploring, good optimization and decent turn-based combat you need to think on, and of course possibility of sex with bear LOL. The game has everything we've dreamt of so far. If Starfield does not end up as good as this game, Baldur's Gate 3 is a top candidate for GOTY.

    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.
