    I have not experienced such emotions probably since I had been playing the Witcher 3. The game is very fascinating, you want to understand it, it throws up unexpected moments and immerses you in yourself, you want to associate yourself with your hero and you experience the events in the game as your own, especially knowing that the further outcome depends on your actions.

    Best Game in Years. Proves games don't have to be shooters or action games. Gorgeous, challenging if you want it that way and also has puzzles. Larian put a lot of time and money into it and it shows. EA has a lot to live up to with Dragon Age 4 next year. I mention this as they are of the same genre.

    It's Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Dragon Age Origins mixed together with next-gen graphics. So what does that mean, it means they made a dream RPG game, atleast for turn based RPG genre.

    It's just so refreshing and nice to know that there are game devs that just want to make games and release them in their entirety without having to milk the fans or have parts of the game locked behind a paywall - there is love in this and it shows - the game is perfect - don't really care for the bugs cause look at what we got compared to 99% of most games

    Not just the RPG ever, but the best video game ever made. Kudos to Larian. That is saying a lot considering the decades of games I have played.

    A masterpiece role-playing game. It's standard, but with a lot of options and great options, what every gamer dreamed of is complete. Organized and intuitive graphics and manipulation perfectly assist this great adventure. There is no doubt that it is the best game of the year.

Larian has outdone themselves and the entire industry here and anyone who's unsure about it needs to give it a go or at least support this studio...

    Amazing stuff Larian, I'm absolutely thrilled to know you're in this industry and pushing the limit for us old soul gamers and newer fans alike. You all should be proud of yourselves, for caring about your consumers, doing this old classic series justice and bringing the world of the Forgotten Realms to life so faithfully and masterfully... Bravo!!!    … Expand

    The game I have been waiting for for years. Great story, polished content, no microtransactions and a full game with nothing left out to sell to us later. I will be playing this for a long time. This game is my new standard. I won't pre-order anymore and unless a game delivers to the level of BG3, I won't be buying it either.

    I made an account just to say how much I've fallen in love with Baldur's Gate 3, even though I don't even LIKE turn-based games much. The writing, characters, and choices you make haven't been this thrilling in ages. Could do with better inventory management though. All in all, a fantastic game made by people who clearly care.

    Didn't have high expectations going in as an old player of the original games by Bioware (BG1 & 2). Like the originals, the game immerses you in the world of Faerun in ways that I appreciate as both a fan of CRPGs and tabletop. While the game, and its design are certainly a jump ahead, compared to the simple graphics of its predecessors, its heart is in the right place.

Everything from the portraits, the art style, the lore books scattered around, the set locations, and music all pay homage to the original game and the setting.

    In a time when a lot of bigger studios seem keen on stripping games down all while maximizing profit even while games barely function at release, or even long after. Larian refreshingly presents a complete product. Well done.    … Expand

    This game was not hyped in my friend circles, even though they have played DnD for quite a while. I'm bad at DnD and don't enjoy the DnD combat style.

I did not expect to be a fan of the turn-based "top-down" combat style but I've become addicted to it. The ONE thing that should be considered as a bias is that I play this game with a group. I cannot say if this game would be as fun alone unless I was a hardcore fan of the combat, which I might be by the end of our run. I have clocked 20 hours into the game and haven't even completed Act 1, and I have heard that act two and three are both longer than act one. I am extremely excited to continue playing Baldurs Gate 3 and hope that Larian are able to take home GOTY with this modern sleeper hit.… Expand

    This game does what most can not. It achives a perfect 10 and deserves to be game of year. It feels like since elden ring we have not recieved a game that felt actually complete apon lauch. If your on the fences becomes of turn based i normally hate turn based games and i havent been able to put this game down. Will buy a second time on ps5 for me and wifes play thru.

    Absolute masterpiece! Finally devs that value my time and money. No dodgy dlc, in game shop etc that other games are trying to get us used to. Just pure fun filled with great story, gameplay and interesting mechanics. Heared about D&D but never had the chance to actually play it? Well now it is the time to do so!

    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.
