    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is really average.
    Graphics is good for an isometric game.
    The story seems good at the beginning of the game but become dumb from mid to the end, especially for act 3.
    It seems act 3 was rushed and infact is really poor.
    Also there are plenty of gamebreaking bug that feels like cyberpunk was a gem at the release, i find mysekt too much time with a result in the game but the journal say a complete difference thing, like saving and npc, leave the area and discover that in the journal the very same npc was dead with no reason.

    Also its a sum the fact that you habe countless output on how we end end the diffeeebt secondary quest for the end of game, helpimg a group or a person could only mean that you had a bonus for the endgamequest. The only quest woth mentioning is the final fight in the house of hope, the song is marvellous.    … Expand

    A fascinating narrative experience that forge a brand new adventure for all the classical lovers of a cult classic game like Dungeons and Dragons
    Merging the classic with the masterful basic of the RPG genre, and obtaining a truly satisfying game

    My first time playing a fantasy RPG (other than AC Odyssey and Vallhala). I decided to try this game because someone online said that if you love Mass Effect, you need to try it because the companions, the story and the lore are of the same standard that Bioware has set if not better.
    I was a bit sceptical at the start since Mass Effect is sci-fi and I love space plus the combat for    My first time playing a fantasy RPG (other than AC Odyssey and Vallhala).

    I was a bit sceptical at the start since Mass Effect is sci-fi and I love space plus the combat for Baldur's Gate at first seemed meh and odd.
    Anyway once I started playing, I was not disappointed! the characters, the lore and the gameplay though it looked simple are quite complex and interesting. The best part is that your actions and choices make a huge impact on the ending and how the game treats you going forward.
    I had a good experience with Mass Effect's choices but this game nailed it to perfection.
    Still playing the game and loving it. Definitely a game that I recommend playing at least twice as there are so many pathways that can't be explored in just a single play-through.
    This game has set a new standard for RPGs, the complexity of companions, the impact of choices that REALLY make you feel in control, the fun combat and the list goes on.

    Overall 10/10.    … Expand

    Best Fantasy RPG Tactics game ever. I never wanted it to end. All i wanted was more more more.

    It will only get better with time as they fix minor bugs, but i never encountered any that a simple reload didn't fix. Play on hardest setting, because there are so many ways to optimize and have super powerful heros.. especially if you take your time and explore everything.

    Es un juego que se debe por ley de existencia humana jugar una vez en la vida, es único y muy divertido aparte que su historia bastante profunda me trae recuerdos como cuando salió por primera vez The Witcher 3, una admiración total o la vez que jugué RDR II, marcan un antes y un después en la vida de un gamer.

    Game is simply a masterpiece.
    Larian Studio has proven to the industry that is possible to make a huge, refined and completed game without microtransactions. I enjoyed it even if I dont usually like turn based combat.
    Easily GOTY for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this game was really good at first but overtime the cracks really began to show. I spent most of my play-through trying to get rid of my tadpole only to find out online that there is no way to actually get rid of it. You have to play with it whether you like it or not, and I wouldn't be nearly as upset about this if the game didn't imply that there was a way to remove it multiple times only to pull the rug out at the last minute, this is the illusion of choice.

    I also overlooked a lot of issues with the game but in the final stretch they become impossible to ignore. Shallow story, badly written characters, and game breaking bugs have eroded what I liked about this game in the first few hours of play. The ending is awful and your choices don't matter in the end.    … Expand

    Unfinished game. Game quality dips in mid to late game with multiple crashes in the final act which is already filled with bugs. Score would be higher if the final act didn't ruin my experience.

    Easily the best high fantasy game ever made, including all the Zeldas and Elden Ring. Nothing comes close when you talk about the quality of writing, acting, character development, and sheer scope.

    This is the best game I have played in 25 years of gaming. And I’ve play loooots of games… played this 30 hours in one week… that wasn‘t planned!! I don‘t actually have the time to play that much, but I kinda abandoned my friends, family and (even) work somehow, for this game. A sacrifice, this game is more than worth.

    This is the first game I played from this type, IDK what to call it actually, but I can't stop playing. I find myself wondering and exploring the world without stopping. the details in this game is crazy. only one game made me feel like that, and it's the Witcher 3. I hope this game wins the game of the year. BRAVO Larian Studio.

    Even though I'm not an RPG player, during my 140 hours of gameplay, I was able to thoroughly enjoy everything the game had to offer. The story was captivating from beginning to end, and every nook and cranny I explored held its own little surprises and hidden details just waiting to be uncovered.

    It was worth every penny of the purchase.

    I was really hyped for this game. After spending many hours playing BG1, BG2, NN1 and NN2 my excitement for BG3 was unreal and sadly I was disappointment. Do not take me wrong the game in itself is great and the systems are really well done, but this game is missing this tiny little spark that was present in other big D&D/Forgotten realms games.

    I was wondering for a long time why I can not stick with this game and I tried to love it really hard. I then realized that even though there is so much to do in the game your choices are awfully streamlined and don't seem to have major impact. No matter what you do the game leads you to victory. Mess up your build no worries reset away destroying any RP element there is. Characters creation? Pick whatever race you want there is no disadvantages just extra perk to complement whatever you are trying to build. Same for your background story its just a pure stat boost you are not sacrificing anything to gain advantage in something else. Your character is build to be perfect and sure you can still mess things up but really its far from punishing.

    Combat ? Sure the foundation is decent but sadly its not for me. I do not like how the game focuses so much on environmental damage. Place bunch of explosive barrels around your enemies and blow them up. Yeah sounds cool at first until you realize your stats, equipment and skill play little part in combat once you figure this out. All previous BG and NN games are all about picking the right setup, finding the right gear and adjusting your characters to handle any combat situation. Sadly BG3 is so badly balanced in that regards that if you do not use those environmental advantages you will struggle and I honestly dont find the aspect of this game fun.

    Overall its a great game but not a great BG game in my opinion. It really is missing out on a lot of aspects that made the original games great and I believe its significantly over hyped for what it is and should have been just called Divinity Original Sin 3.    … Expand

    As a longtime player of the first two Bioware games, and an even more seasoned D&D player since the days of second edition, with already over 100 hours of gameplay in this third installment, I can't help but proudly claim the unquestionable beauty of this masterpiece.

    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.
