    Las personas que valoran con un 0 este juego deben tener problemas graves...

    Simplemente por sus gráficos, su sonido, su guión, ambientación, sistema de builds... en fin

    El juego es brillante, completamente mágico, lo cierto es que no hay uno igual... Cuánto más avanzas mejor se vuelve, es impresionante

    Combat takes 10 hours per fight just to enjoy 2 min of walking around before the next 10hour fight starts.

    This game is 100% not for me wish they didn't make it turn based who the hell wants to take 10 hours per fight to progress nowhere.

    A masterwork of a game. This game illustrates what a CRPG, and video game generally, can be. the art direction, story, gameplay and sound are all at the top levels for what the industry has to offer.

    The work is complete. Possibly we will not value the game well until a few years from now, when we assimilate everything

    This game is a godsend.

    Every little detail in this game is perfect. While there are some extremely minor bugs, this game is absolutely fantastic and is so rich in its content and scale. With huge player agency and 1000s of hours or gameplay and replay-ability. This game has clearly set the standard and the curve and is a marvel. Everybody at Larian deserves huge congratulations.

    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game. If only action RPG appeals you just head your way, otherwise it's best turn based RPG of the decade by far (sorry Pillar of Eternity or Divinity) . For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game.

For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for the same category.
    Been playing in early access for while, and now the final game has shipped.
    in a nutshell

    Pros
    - Turn based tactical RPG with all the best features of that genre,
    - environnement interaction is top notch (fights are much more vertical that can be expected),
    - they stayed true to the Table top RPG AD&D and lore
    - Graphical AD&D eye candy and artstyle.
    - Lots and I say lots of RPG dialogue with choices, implications and consequences.
    - All your NPC can die and has more or less an impact on the story.
    - I felt like the whole "Beast and fiends" creatures were in the game.
    - Rolling the dice is so satisfying, If the game could use connected dices I would buy them.
    - Group management is very good (inventory, roster management...)
    - Multiplayer like in your good old table top game.
    - Music are epic and in the best of the genres.
    - Campaign length is really nice and not over-stuffed by filler fetch quests that sucks
    - Super replayability (I have restarted during the early access, and the prologue was rather different, based on NPC that died or not..)

    Cons
    - Cameras management could be better.
    - a little bit laggish on my intel i12 12900k + RTX4090 (but not frame rate issue) just a overall feel.
    - Still some very minor graphical glitches
    - IA is kinda meh...
    - Abandon hope of social interactions IRL once your sucked into for about 100 hours
    - Kinda tough where you're low level and if you have lost experience playing with level 1 characters for a while on AD&D.
    - UX is not fully intuitive at first but once you get the hang of it, that's pretty fluid

    This game is a monster in all categories and is currently my game of the year.
    It definitely has that "generation-defining" feel.    … 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.
