I did encounter only one single bug in my 80+ hour playthrough of this giant game, which is basically unheard of nowadays. All in all we need to hold other game publishers responsible from now on to even reach 50 percent of this games polish in their future releases.… Expand

    Wizard of the Coast had the good idea to give this licence to Larian, i was expecting a lot during the EA and i'm not disappointed at all, this what i could wait for a Baldur's Gate game. The turn based system is great even if it makes some things "easier" and i find it more tactical than the half real time of old BG.
    A great game with no doubt at all.

    4 години на створення першого персонажа. Найкраща партійна РПГ з часів Dragon Age: Origin. Окрема подяка за українську локалізацію.

    It has been eight long years since I was last filled with such an enormous sense of wonder over a video game. The story and character development are spectacular. The turn based combat system works well, and the unexpected ways that things can play out are so refreshing.

    This game is what as a child we thought gaming would become. It carries a standard that has almost been lost to time. You actually can play through the game with out feeling like you need to shell out more money for fomo. No missing quests because of exclusive deals.

No missing quests because of exclusive deals. I am so tired of developers and studios being chopped up due to share holders. With all that said the game is actually good. It is packed full of quests and secrets and decisions.

    The game does not hold your hand. The game is a world full of impactful decisions. You want to be a paladin who stands for good and wants to squash all evil go for it, you better not make decisions that stray from that path. It actually makes you ROLEPLAY. It consumes you and makes you stay up late miss sleep and want more.

    ~400 people made Baldur's gate in less time than triple AAA titles. It released in a better state, and no microtransactions with less bugs. Compare this to a game that has a storied series on the 4th iteration with 9000 workers and 10 years in development.    … Expand

    Larian have segmented their legacy as one of the greatest and most trustworthy developers of the modern day era. They are more like passionate gamers that know how to code.

    They listen, communicate and embrace their community in ways I wish other development studios would do. Sadly the corporate machine has crashed through the gaming landscape in recent times driving the soul and gamer driven ethos to near extinction in favour of corporate greed and lining the purse strings of the already wealthy.

    To me the most important thing Larian have achieved here is not just making an absolutely phenomenal game, but they have restored my faith that maybe the future landscape of gaming is not completely lost. Even if you don't like CRPG's, get behind this group of amazing developers, lead by an amazing leadership team. Show other companies that is ok to make games that don't try to squeeze every single drip of blood from the community in favour of making games driven by passion.

    Made by gamers for gamers. The way it should be.

The only thing that really frustrated me in the game is the inventary system... Larian really needs to come up with something better than what they current have.

I did not pre order or indeed buy it at release but watched some gameplay and thought why not try it. I am glad I did as I see no real hard faults in this game as of yet.

    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.
