    I've been a big rpg fan ever since I've started gaming and, when I first heard of Mass Effect I didn't pay it any mind because I thought its just another shooter set in space then atleast 7 years later I played Mass Effect because I had nothing else to play and I fell in love with the game, I had simply never seen a game crafted with so much love, a gamer where you truly become Shepard,I've been a big rpg fan ever since I've started gaming and, when I first heard of Mass Effect I didn't pay it any mind because I thought its just another shooter set in space then atleast 7 years later I played Mass Effect because I had nothing else to play and I fell in love with the game, I had simply never seen a game crafted with so much love, a gamer where you truly become Shepard, after ME3 I was only able to find such happiness again in DOS1,2 and witcher 3 and Cyberpunk2077. Now after so long BG3 has once again put me in the same happy place as old Bioware and CDProjektRED. Much love to Larian for making this game possible and I hope the next cyberpunk, witcher and the next mass effect learn from this game.… Expand

    It is a fantastic successor to the originals, respects the lore, and improves on gameplay in every way, GOTY contender, if you like RPGs buy and support Larian Studios you won't regret it.

    jogo e muito top ok melhor que o zelda . o jogo tem que ser GOTY 2023 se não for Goty e por causa das mídias merda que favorece sempre a Nintendo ou a Sony . ok . e goty porra.

    Good to see a development team aim to complete and polish their game while avoiding predatory modern micro transaction systems.. Plus having multiple endings and hundreds of dialogue options.

    Missed when games were finished upon release.

    I find it funny that the only bad reviews this game has is people that don't get the gameplay. This game is a 10 out of 10 masterpiece. A love letter to the community from Larian.

Robust combat embodies the chaos of Dungeons and Dragons.

    Bad-
    Some bugs and a bit of cutscene jank take away from the immersion. Frame drops occur later in the game.

    Thoughts-
    Baldur’s Gate 3 is a triumph for many reasons. Story-telling, combat, dialogue, choices, visuals, music, voice-acting, pacing, side quest design, complexity – everything feels spot-on, and the attention to detail is insane. That’s not accounting for the sheer replay value with all the classes, subclasses, spells, paths, decisions and much more. Even with its imperfections, slight as they may be, Larian has once again raised the bar for role-playing games.    … Expand

    My initial foray into "Baldur's Gate 3" was marred by a sprinkling of frustrations, particularly the limitations imposed on low-level characters who could only cast a single spell each round, and the occasional lost battle that cost me precious time. Furthermore, the companions I met early on in my adventure felt a bit quirky, with some unfortunately not growing on me as I had hoped.My initial foray into "Baldur's Gate 3" was marred by a sprinkling of frustrations, particularly the limitations imposed on low-level characters who could only cast a single spell each round, and the occasional lost battle that cost me precious time. Furthermore, the companions I met early on in my adventure felt a bit quirky, with some unfortunately not growing on me as I had hoped.

    However, as I delved deeper, the game began to unfold its true richness and depth. Many companions not only grew on me but also managed to pleasantly surprise me with their development. Similarly, the expansive world caught me off guard with its unforeseen surprises and a wealth of opportunities waiting to be discovered.

    The real turning point was when I stepped into the vibrant and bustling city of Baldur's Gate. It was here that the game blossomed into a remarkable experience of joy and wonder. The city, brimming with life and details, presented a delightful playground for exploration and adventures.

    What stood out were the phenomenal graphics that painted every scene with breathtaking realism and depth, enhancing the immersive experience manifold. I was enamoured by the plethora of content available right at release, making it a rich and fulfilling journey that promises replayability.

    I cannot thank the creators enough for presenting a game so vast and detailed, a title that transcends initial hiccups to offer an experience that is thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. It is a journey that I am eager to undertake again, exploring new paths and making different choices.    … Expand

    I am not even a huge fan of D&D and just can't get enough. Very well made, complete game, no microtransactions. Carefully made, guaranteed fun and very well balanced. Best turn based RPG I ever played. Companies should learn from Larian instead of making excuses.

    High-quality cutscenes, in-depth dialogues, rich exploring, good optimization and decent turn-based combat you need to think on, and of course possibility of sex with bear LOL. The game has everything we've dreamt of so far. If Starfield does not end up as good as this game, Baldur's Gate 3 is a top candidate for GOTY.

    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.
