    I love to be back in Faerun after all these years. The depth of characters and dialogue is unprecedented.

    Larian makes good RPG's and this is a game that is worth trying but after the hype this game created I am not satisfied with the game I play. I think problem is about D&D.

    The Ghrapics and the music is so good. The story? It's amazing. I've never played an rpg this good before! The choices in the game makes such an huge impact on the story and your companions. LARIAN! Amazing work and congratulations for your success. It's hard to find companies like yours today.

    A new standard for AAA gaming. We love our indies and would never expect them to put out this caliber of a game, but big companies (EA, Blizzard, Ubisoft, ect) are terrified of how beloved this game is.

    Very refreshing that the goal the developers had in mind was making the game fun, and not exploiting you for money. A well made quality game with creativity in mind and not corporate greed is a rare find lately.

    The story is interesting and creatively inspired, and the combat is extremely diverse and never dull or samey. If you like DnD or strategy games I fully recommend Bauldur's Gate 3.

    One of the only genuine RPG's of the last decade.

    Stunning attention to detail and further proof people will pay serious money for games that aren't filled with fetch quests, battle passes and online only.

Every quest feels purposeful and meaningful. I haven't been this captivated by a game since Dragon Age: Origins. In essence, Baldur's Gate 3 is nothing short of amazing.… Expand

    Might be the best game I've ever played. Truly a masterpiece coming from a developer with a deep love for the IP and the genre. The bugs and minor gripes I have aren't even worth mentioning because it is clear Larian is listening and will fix them. If you buy one game this month, year, decade, generation, or lifetime, let it be Baldur's Gate 3.

    I have played this game since early access and it's been amazing to watch it grow and evolve over time. It's polished, funny, dramatic, emotional, tactical, intriguing, and compelling. This is one of the greatest RPGs ever made and this is one of those games that everyone who loves the role-playing experience should check out for themselves!

    The best RPG I have played in a very long time. Tabletop type combat and tons of choices for the dialog options. This is the game I have been waiting for my whole life for an RPG that is my story the way I want my story. Worth every penny of the price and better yet no microtransactions. You buy the game you get everything that is in the game. If you love RPG's you will love this game.

    I don't even want to write a review, do you like well-made RPGs? Do you like or have ever been remotely interested in D&D 5th Edition? Have you wanted a game as good, if not better, then the first Dragon Age?

    Well here it is, and if someone doesn't like this game, that's about the genre, not the game itself in most cases, in my humble opinion.

    The combat is excellent with a huge variety of environmental interactions to chain together.
    The vast array of skills, builds, classes and char customisation is second to none.
    The story is strong, but is enhanced by having a fantastic array of side quests to compliment it and allow you some time away from chugging right through the story.

    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.
