    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.

    I'm in my fourties now and I had my fair share of RPGs in my time. No really I do have the time and the resources to play games pretty much as much as I want to.

Seriously that's a lot of games. However, disregarding my life choices, BG3 is exactly what I wanted from the successor of one of my favorite games. Is it perfect? No, nothing is. Is it one if the best RPGs ever? Yes. Yes it is. To this day I know what I did in Daggerfall. I remember what I did in Dragon Age and I get goosebumps listening to the Mass Effect OST. And I'm looking forward to remember my time in BG3 in the same way. Only thing bothering me is the fact that I can't get the BG1 soundtrack out of my had and Larian actually didn't use any part of that.… Expand

    I played Divinity 2, and expected big things from this game, but I have been blown away by the quality of Baldur's Gate 3, its so much fun and you lose so much time to it without realising it. The depth of the story and scope of the decision making and potential outcomes is stunning. Just an amazing game.

    This is likely the most immersive and fun rpg ever made. A faithful intuitive d&d adaptation that is intuitive to control without being clunky. Balancing depth amd ease is t easy but larian nailed it.

    +1 nice character creation system, but its not perfect

    ------------------

    -5 DnD - i dont complaint about version of system but tabletop "unimmersive" solutions. DnD 123 would be same abstract. ITs PC not some "table game". There was much more fun solutions in even turna based genres. Cloud of blades, adding fire to weapon from little candle, using team healing with one potion by throwing to ground. Its too abstract for me.
    -2 little too much dark companions. Almost every new character has some very evil side.
    -2 story is nice but, is it original? No, its just like a good dream or maybe good tabletop rpg session.
    Its not masterpiece like LoTr or Game of Thrones - its not same scale. Even Fallout 4 was more original but dialogues had less depth. Almost every idea is like CP77 overwrite memory, getting unique powers from "demons", bad "devil is good", "paladin are bad weaker and dumb"
    -1 graphic and physics - god as for turnbased, but gameengine is to weak for realtime fight when u need to look straight ahead. Its not so ambitious game like Bethesda games its, game from lower league.
    -1 bad controls and little dumb AI. I prefer BG2 strategic selecting characters, maybe i dont know I can change this. There is no option to do sync shoot when sneak. Lot of dumb situations when sneaking.
    Lot of dumb situations like enemy passing Dagger Cloud few times same turn or companion which died after fight which also passed Dagger Cloud after auto-quit turn based - won bottle.
    -1 dialogue rolls - why i have chance only from active character?
    -0.5 layout, a specially shops - uncomfortable. No way to change appearance or name    … Expand

This might actually be one of THE games of this gen and for sure Larian deserves to get GOTY for BG3. Also unlike other GOTY contenders like Hogwarts Legacy, TOTK, or Diablo 4 its easy to put support behind because Larian doesn't have a history basked in all sorts of isms, doesn't copyright strike random people over OSTs or less, and they refuse to add microtransactions to their game. This is one of the few times where people are actually delivering what gamers want without any catch and I'm just grateful to Larian for that.… Expand

(except Shadowheart's and Karlach's), loved the ambience, the gameplay, the story, the voice acting, the graphics, the narrator, the map layouts, the music, the characters, the little details like random npcs and animals having their own dialogue, how the maps actually feel alive, how your actions have an impact on them!
    Yes, i used to be one of the believers that Tears of the Kingdom would be the game of the year, but that was because i didn't know that this masterpiece of a game would come out a couple months later, Baldur's Gate 3 is so incredibly amazing that it ended the GOTY contest just like that, at least for me.
    I could nitpick about how the game just fades to black after you get the ending and doesn't let you keep playing or finishing other quests but i understand Larian's reason, imagine having a destroyed version of Baldur's Gate city after the final battle, that would be like 30 extra gbs worth of assets (by the way, please give us a lighter version of the game, i'd sacrifice my Ultra textures for a 100gb installation folder any day of the week), i wouldn't have minded being sent back to the normal city with the final quest finished if that meant i could finish other side quests.

To be honest, a couple of times I puzzled over it all so much that I had to peep into the guides.
    + Bright, memorable companions. Each of them stole my heart, and even Laezel, with whom we have a difference of opinion. My applause goes to the voice actors and everyone involved in creating the characters in this game. And the personal quests of Karlakh and especially Astarion made me cry.
    + A combat system heavily reworked from the DnD 5e system that rewards the creativity and little tricks of the player. I'm not a big fan of turn-based combat, but the local one pulled me in with my head. Holy Kitties, what a thrill I experienced every time I managed to outwit the enemy, find some interesting tactical solution, and so on. Not only did the battles from time to time not become duller, so the game periodically also threw up interesting conditions for success.
    + Opportunities for roleplaing. The game is attentive to the race and class of the player, which is just fine. For example, playing as a drow, I walked back and forth through the goblin camp as if at home, and no one even objected to me either at the entrance or anywhere else. And being also a bard, I very often managed to agree with the characters about what I needed without bloodshed. And this is just my personal example, and there are many such variations in the game.
    + The beauty of the surrounding world. It is detailed, rich, destructible, interactive. It wants to be explored and used during battles. The lighting here is especially beautiful, sometimes I lingered in locations just to admire them.
    + Faces of characters. For me, this is a separate highlight and from now on my personal little fetish, which I will look for in future games from other studios. The way the characters act in the cutscenes, gesticulate actively, use facial expressions and every wrinkle and muscle on the face is involved in this... Just wow. Sometimes I caught myself involuntarily holding my breath from acting out other characters and copying the facial expressions of my own drow.
    + Delightful musical accompaniment. The soundtrack of the game is already downloaded on my Spotify and listened to several times. Infrequently, the music inside the game has such a strong effect on me: where it evokes sadness and sentimentality, somewhere else it adds fighting spirit and courage. That moment in Raphael's mansion was unexpected and chicly appropriate. The song Take Control and the moment with it from the Control game immediately came to my mind. And when the end credits rolled and their title song played, I simply burst into tears from all the emotions accumulated over a long adventure. I think it's worth it.

    Throughout the entire game, with the exception of a few major battles, my laptop ran the game's ultra-settings at 50 fps at QHD resolution.
    Even upon arrival in the city, I did not experience significant problems, and I have only a couple of small "buts" in relation to this game:
    - The apparently unfinished final part of the game, which begins after the gates to the Upper City. But I think this is a temporary problem, which will be fixed in subsequent patches and hotfixes, which Larian do not skimp on.
    - From what I've heard, a lot of content was cut that was potentially interesting and expanding on the story of the game. I hope it will be added later or its tails sticking out in the game will be polished a little. But its absence does not affect the complexity and pleasure of the game, in my opinion.
    - Cluttered epilogue. It seems that everything was enough for me, and I had a final dialogue with the favorite, but I wanted something like "a year later" for the satellites with whom I managed to become related in more than a hundred simulated hours, as well as small epilogues for those characters and for world, which somehow influenced my actions. We can only hope that the developers will listen to us and add this to the game.

    My review turned out to be unexpectedly large, although initially I did not even know how to express my emotions and impressions of Baldur's Gate III. In my eyes, it's amazing. I have been waiting for it for several years and I will go through it more than once alone and with friends.
    And separately I want to say immense thanks to Larian Studios, which, most likely, will not see this, but still. Despite all the difficulties for decades, they did not turn off the intended path, but gained experience and released games better and better, putting a piece of their soul into them. Baldur's Gate III is their crowning achievement right now, but I'm sure these developers will be able to surprise us in the future. Thanks to them for their intelligence, creativity, perseverance and respect for their audience. Strength to them and inspiration for future games!    … Expand

    The game is a feast.

    I played Larian games since Divinity II: Ego Draconis, and played all the Baldur's Gate back in the day along with Icewind Dale etc.

    The awesome gameplay you found in Divinity: Original Sin I & II is obviously present, and if you are familiar with the series, you will feel at home with the usual systems - stealth mechanics, multiple dialogues at the same time and agency of controlling other characters meanwhile, to... pickpocket or other, moving objects around and throwing them, or even people, stacking boxes, interaction between elements (poison/fire, water/electricity etc.) ...
    If you are not used to them, there are quite a few to discover.
    So yes, it is definitely a Larian game, and the system familiarity have let some nickname it "Divinity Original Sin III", but I disagree.
    I do not know of any other game where you have this agency, and having all this in the third opus of Baldur's Gate is simply a boon.

    I can understand some people not liking the turn based mechanics, but I actually like them for the same reason I hated Dragon Age II system, which had the least interesting fights in any RPG so far due to wanting to add "dynamic" to it ("you push a button, something happens!" - and even if you do not, enemy drop out of thin air -_- ), all while being rushed in about a year because... EA - which definitely does not mean early access here).
    Dragon Age Inquisition improved that, but still lacked any decent AI tweaking compared to Dragon Age: Origins, where you could actually program you AI exactly how you wanted.
    In BG3 (as in D:OS and D:OS2), you actually control all your characters, while having the flexibility to "cheat time" by having some characters out of combat, and well, anyway, that is a debate for dynamic vs. strategic.
    The pause system either imposes on the game an AI which you can actually define the behavior correctly, or to do a lot of micro management otherwise, which then becomes a parody of a turn based system.

    Anyway, as I said: the game is a feast.
    I am still on act I after about 55H - true, I quicksave/reload a lot because I am curious of different outcomes, and I guess you could shove 20H of trying alternative ways and such.
    But the richness of the world, combined with the quality of about everything, is staggering.
    When I say everything, I mean all the subtle details in combat with the VFX, SFX (oh I love the power of Eldritch Blast, and the stuble dice roll sounds), the voiced sentences when you move or act in the world (whispers in stealth, ...) in order not to have your character be a total mute (given the 8 different voices for a character, and that all the other ones are voice acted - including animals, I can understand), ...
    I could go on, but it is already getting long enough, and I think my first sentence sums it all.

    It is definitely Larian's "Witcher III" game, and I do not think you can have higher praise than reading non-Larian devs say that the game is so awesome that you, little-gamer-who-knows-nothing, should not expect all the games to come to be on this level.    … Expand

    I've been playing WoW, Diablo 2/3/4, FFXIV, PoE, GTA 4 / 5 and more over the past 15 years and BG3 is hands down the best game of the past 10 years.
    It has the best storyline, classes feel different and give nice perks for subclasses that help you in various ways depending how you want to play, I'll definitely be doing a few different playthroughs with various classes and using different companions.

    The voice acting really is amazing, and the narration pulls me in even more.

    Also considering that Larian is not your typical AAA with a limitless budget.
    but a humble team of passionate gamers. the effort spent on this game is really stellar, and it pays off and is felt and seen throughout the game.

    The downsides are, turn-based combat is not everyone's cup of tea, it feels really good though IMHO.
    Inventory management can be tedious, or it is just me, since I pick up every junk there is.

    Even with so many positive reviews, it saddens me to see that there are hundreds of negative reviews. I believe these might be from people who didn't grasp the game's progression properly, made poor choices, failed to adapt to the mechanics and strategies of tabletop games that BG3 draws inspiration from in most aspects, and that's why they gave negative reviews.

    Cara. Que jogo perfeito. De verdade, eu tô jogando direto, até esse momento é o melhor jogo do ano, e vai ganhar o GOTY se Starfield não estiver a altura, a Larian lançou a masterpiece do ano. Meus parabéns Larian Studios, que jogo do caralho.

    Made an account just for this. I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy another rpg after this. Just so damn good.

    Pure freedom to make whatever choices you want and your choices actually affect the story. Your free to kill main charachter allies whenever you want and just continue through the game if you want.

    Who would have thought that making an enjoyable non-scummy predatory half-finished cash grab would be a good idea huh. I'm not saying that this should be standard in term of scope, grandeur and polish. It should however be a standard for "what a game should feel like at launch". A finished product, not designed to milk your wallet, not designed to further some agenda, please shareholdersWho would have thought that making an enjoyable non-scummy predatory half-finished cash grab would be a good idea huh.

A finished product, not designed to milk your wallet, not designed to further some agenda, please shareholders or meet enforced deadlines. When the studio cares for their players' experience, it shows. THAT is the standard we want this game to set, and not what other developers whine about. Its not about scope, length. Its about decency, care and respect towards your customers… Expand

    I never played any games like this before. I'm blown away, has to be one of the best games I've ever played.

    This game recaptures the magic I had when playing Bioware’s Dragon Age Origins in terms of scale, repalayability and players’ choice. No parts of it felt like a filler, it was well written and voice acted and the game feels like a once a decade game, similar to how I feel about other RPGs like Tyranny and Disco Elysium.

    After 200+ hours playing the game, I'm still having a lot of fun and trying out different comps and specs. The only thing I would still like to see is VA for player's avatar in Dialogues (I think it makes the exchanges even more immersive) and more characteristic VA for Half-Orcs, Dwarfs, Dragonborn etc. (i.e. races that diverge a lot from the standard human form).

    Acts 1-2 are great and well delivered.
    Act 3 is where it all starts falling apart, it clearly shows that the game was rushed out to be released without being fully finished and tested out. Cut content that was promoted few months before launch, often occurring bugs, messy story and quest pacing in the later parts of the game, lackluster and seemingly unfinished endings that are short and    Acts 1-2 are great and well delivered.

    For a studio that was touted as developers releasing "finished and full games" unlike "those others developers", they sadly did just the same thing as those "other devs".    … Expand

    Larian continues to one up themselves with a CRPG so meticulously crafted it’s literally scaring triple A developers because now they might have to put in more effort to keep up.

    Simply the best game released since Skyrim. Larian made divinity original sin 1 & 2 and were excellent as well but BG3 blows everything out of the water.

    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.
