    O tempo que esse jogo passou em desenvolvimento valeu muito a espera, Baldur's Gate 3 é um experiência rica e cativante, mesmo pra mim que nunca joguei RPG de mesa eu me senti em uma partida de verdade, a história e suas ramificações são surreais, joguei por quase 80 e não tive nenhum problema, exceto por um save corrompido mas isso não interferiu em nada a minha vontade de jogar,O tempo que esse jogo passou em desenvolvimento valeu muito a espera, Baldur's Gate 3 é um experiência rica e cativante, mesmo pra mim que nunca joguei RPG de mesa eu me senti em uma partida de verdade, a história e suas ramificações são surreais, joguei por quase 80 e não tive nenhum problema, exceto por um save corrompido mas isso não interferiu em nada a minha vontade de jogar, excelente jogo, 2023 está bem servido de jogos de rpg.… Expand

    This is how games should be, no pre launch DLC No micro-transactions, high mod support and feedback is actuallly listened to. Biggest flex for any CRPG ever released, I highly reccomend you check this out even if turn based rpg's are normally not your thing, the writing the story the characters and all the options make it more then worth to check it out!

    Anything you point at is top notch, no microtransactions, no monetization after your purchase, no bending to the current "game industry" standards.

    As small as Larian studio is, they provided new standard. And every game from AAA studios will be compared to Baldur's Gate until something even greater is created.    … Expand

    Best RPG game with coop what you can buy! Larian, you are amazing! The only thing that was bad in Divinity Original Sin 2 was boredom after act 2, in the new game the narration is better than any praise!

Las misiones secundarias se sientes vivas, importantes, gusta hacerlas. Tienes total libertad de decidir qué respuesta dar en cada conversación y de cómo quieres jugar los combates. 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.

    The best game I've played in years! I'm reluctant to give it a 9 instead of a 10; the only downside was the anticlimactic ending.

    I'm confident that Larian will refine it over the next year or two, making it the best game ever created.

    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!

    After playing this, for a long time we will be feeling empty when playing another game, each game you play can be completely different from each other.

    10/10!

    I am now on my second playthrough, in a coop campaign with friends/family. The game is even more fun when playing together with people you like/love.

I am a dungeon master running a campaign in 5e, and I swear this is as close as you can get to actually playing D&D with a competent and fun dungeon master.

    I'm not sure why people are trying to review bomb this game? I guess some are Starfield fans (a game that I also own, that I find enjoyable when it is heavily modded, otherwise I'm having a hard time standing it in it's base game, it is so shallow compared to BG3). I am a D&D player/DM, and a veteran of old school computer rpgs (Planescape, BG1/2, NWN1, Kotor, DaO etc), and I fully endorse this game. Don't let the haters disuade you from getting this game, most of them seem to be suffering from mental troubles to be frank, and if you check the accounts most of them are newly made and the only game reviewed is BG3. I dislike these mental midgets, they rolled a 1 when they left their mothers wombs.

    Original review:

    I am a dungeon master in 5e, and have been playing tabletop since 3e. One of my all time greats is BG2, and I also love Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, and BG1 (and also Dragon age origins). This game is immense, very well crafted. A lot of the dialogue is intelligent, and full of humor (just like many older rpgs). I was afraid that there would not be another RPG like this, for many years, or perhaps ever. The Witcher 3 was also great, I love that game, and this is just as good (but now I'm playing as a drow bard called Turnip Jansen, instead of the eminent Geralt of Rivia). As a dungeon master, and an avid pc player of computer rpg, I can say without a doubt, this is as close you will get to the true experience of DnD with an experienced and dedicated DM, as you can get in a single player experience. This game has an insane replay potential. If you are remotly interested in RPG, you should do youself a favor and get this game.    … Expand

There are some story branches that are basically dead, not everything you think should work actually works, its quiet limited actually. It has graphic glitches and a simplified game world. There is no replayability but trying other story branches or characters. It's strength is the story when played as intended. It has quiet a lot choices for a story tunnel game, that are interesting. Especially when you decide to leave the path by not doing certain quests at all or killing characters instead of take one of the two to three given choices the game usually allows it, but the story is just over, everyone around it reacts not really realistic.

    It's like Divinity, its like Baldurs Gate I & II. It's not much more, it's just that. Which are amazing games, but a little disappointing for the new 2023 ultimate version of them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good and can be even better with a few patches. it is clear many reviewers did not make it until the end or they would have noticed performance problems and a lot of bugs in the last chapter. It took me around 90 hours to complete the game and I loved the voice acting, music and branching paths and stories.

    Unfortunately the last hours left a sour taste in my mouth. The run up to the boss while being bombarded by enemy artillery made me scream "Who the hell came up with this **** and a boss that has to be taken down with a timer running in the background was not fun at all. The ending cutscene took around 5 minutes leaving many questions unanswered. In Larian tradition this will be patched and an enhanced edition released. This is not okay though, if we invest almost a hundred hours into a game we deserve closure.

    I still had a good time with it but am tired of buying products that will get patched throughout the year to deliver a finished game. It is what it is though and I suggest opening the upper city for exploration and splitting the third act into two. The last act was too cramped and the city should be bigger. It is clear the upper city was cut out of the game but planned initially.    … Expand

    Best game I’ve ever played on PC. I had it pre-ordered for PS5 but changed my mind and glad I did! Haven’t played BG since the first game, but the changes here are superb! D&D pencil-and-paper is so tough to get organized these days, so this scratches my RPG itch quite well. Fantastic game. Not perfect, mind you, but superb in every way.

    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.
