    Sou um enorme fã de RPG e honestamente esse é o melhor RPG que eu já joguei na vida, o fato dele emular d&d de forma tão perfeita chega a me emocionar e me dar uma nostalgia braba, pra melhorar eles melhoraram muito os sistemas de algumas coisas que não funcionavam no tabletop, tá gostoso demais jogar esse jogo e acredito que vá seguir assim sempre, recomendo mt

    I've played the last two Larian Studios Games tactical games, and it's just so refreshing see how well they upgraded and changed their formula for this new game. I was so sure that Zelda Tears of the Kingdom would steal Game of the Year, until I played this, the 2023 gaming industry has shocked me again with another home-run success.

    The voice acting, story, cinematics, gameplay, and the control to the player, are by far the best I've seen in a game.

    It's been so entertaining watching the bitter Dragon Age developers cry and moan about Baldur's Gate 3 on Twitter, knowing that they will never reach the heights of BG3, and that the past 15 years of their development, turning a turn-based rpg into an uninspired action rpg was all for waste. The people have spoken; the second age of turn based tactical rpgs is here, and it is Baldur's Gate 3!    … Expand

Because Baldur's Gate 3 has once again PROVEN that great games CAN be made WITHOUT microtransactions, WITHOUT massive day one patches, WITHOUT horrific glitches, bugs and being an unfinished mess. So other developers now have ZERO excuses not to match BG3 in terms of game quality, gameplay and polish. Larian studios is now the industry STANDARD on how to make a good game and has proven that it's NOT impossible to make a good game and STILL remain within the $60 price tag. They have PROVEN all the other studios to be LIARS that just want to do less work, with less effort, for more money. As far as I'm concerned Larian games has my UTMOST CONFINDENCE AND TRUST with games. From now on when Larian comes out with a game, i dont even NEED to ask if they worked hard on it, for me it's "shut up and take my money". I can't sing their praises enough on Baldur's Gate 3 and i hope the absolute BEST for them moving forward. And if BG3 wasn't enough, Swen Vincke went and turned down Microsoft on their offer to buy Larian games.

    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

    This game is such a masterpiece. It;s actually a game and not a way to scam as much money out of people as possible. It takes hundreds of hours to complete and that's not because there are millions of collectibles, but through sheer enjoyable content. And still they don't price the game at the ridiculous price point of 69.99 that a lot games have done recently.

It's not pretending to be a "yet dark grim fantasy game full of cliched characters" yet indeed everyone could find some comedy and drama in it, a story of your own.

    Pros:
    Strong cast of characters, with good humor serious emotional moments and compelling stories.

    Diverse combat with multiple ways to go about tackling opponents.

    Tons or replay ability. There are whole story lines companions and quests locked behind different paths.

    DnD elements actually mesh well with the CRPG gameplay.

    The game looks spectacular.

    Cons:

    Performance is sketchy, even after the Driver update today. Memory leak is a real problem for some people and i was sadly one of them.

    Minor bugs and soft locks, save often!

    The penultimate fight is a slog. I hate the way its layered and no way to rest for 1-2 hours meaning you run out of spell slots REAL quick. It's just a boring fight all and all.

    Mechanic in start of Act 2 forces you to be in turn based mode for 30+ minutes unless you have a torch, which probably you won't because why would you?

I love isometric CRPGs, and this is that but with a cinematic story more akin to something like Mass Effect or Dragon Age: Inquisition. Forgotten Realms is one of my favorite fantasy settings (alongside Krynn and the world from The Wheel of Time series), and this embodies the flavor of the Faerûn setting perfectly. There is a huge amount of customization (46 subclasses, not to mention the ability to multi-class). The story and art are incredible, and I can't praise Larian enough for what is clearly a passion project that is a love letter to fans of the genre.

    Despite what many large studios in the industry may want to believe, this does set a new standard and shows that large studios can not only meet but exceed our expectations. In a time when many releases are pushed out long before they are ready or suffer incredible launch failures, this stands out as a notable exception to what has frequently become the norm.

    I'll be picking up a copy for Playstation as well, both to do a multiplayer run with a friend, and because it supports cross-saves, so I can play from my bed on days when my back is acting up. And honestly, it's worth much more than the $60 I paid when it launched in Early Access.    … Expand

And that was an action based game. I tried playing turn based games before but I never had the patience for this type of games. But for Baldur’s Gate 3 the combat is exciting and when a fight is over I have this feeling of accomplishment. I am happy I did try playing this game. Also the replayability is the best. No future game will be the same with all the different classes and dialogue options you can choose from. For me this will be a game that I can play in many years to come and never be bored of it! Therefore 10/10!… Expand

    I bought this game to support fellow gamers and developers, even though it wasn't my usual type. After just a few hours, I was hooked. I even left a game I'd played for over a year. Now, it's my new gaming benchmark alongside MHW/IB, RDR2, BoTW, and FFXIV. What a find – this game has truly raised the bar for me!

    Simply the best game of my life, without exaggeration, there are so many things to say about this game that I simply won't even try it here, it's just that they sold me the idea that it would be the game that would fulfill all my dreams in life and they gave me much more.

This game provides the best video game way of playing D&D, and adds vertical aspects that are often missed in a table top game.

The voice acting and script are superb, and every character's personality, preferences, and mannerisms brings them to life in a way that makes you feel attachment to the heroes and hatred for its villains.

    Under the hood, the game has perfectly adapted the dice-rolling tabletop rules for D&D without alienating those new to 5ed rules by making them have to learn the ponderous tome that makes up the rulebook. If you want to learn the ins and outs, or you regularly play 5ed rules at a tabletop you will feel right at home.

    If you don't, then you simply don't need to. All the dicerolling is done in the background and hit chances in the turn based combat shows percentages of your success in killing your enemies.

    I had already racked up 99 hours in early access over the past 2 years, and seeing the development unfold in a way which has included its community at the centre of every decision has been a privilege.

As a passionate RPG enthusiast, I recently had the privilege of diving into the final release of the game alongside my friends, and the result was a truly unforgettable adventure that showcased the game's prowess in both storytelling and cooperative gameplay.

    From the very beginning, it was evident that Baldur's Gate 3 had transcended its early access phase and emerged as a polished masterpiece. The attention to detail in its world-building and character development was immediately striking. Every location we explored felt alive, teeming with both subtle nuances and grand landscapes that invited us to immerse ourselves fully. Each character we encountered, whether ally or adversary, was intricately woven into the overarching narrative, adding depth to a tale that was as engaging as it was expansive.

    The heart of our journey, however, lay in the collaborative experience that Baldur's Gate 3 effortlessly facilitated. Playing alongside my friends, we found ourselves strategizing, planning, and laughing as we delved into the game's intricately designed turn-based combat system. The battles were not just opportunities for victory, but canvases for creative problem-solving. We reveled in leveraging the environment to our advantage, capitalizing on each character's unique abilities, and triumphing through teamwork. These moments of shared achievement reinforced the idea that Baldur's Gate 3 is not just a game, but a conduit for strengthening the bonds between players.

    The game's departure from the early access phase was evident in its refined mechanics, seamless gameplay, and the assurance that the developer, Larian Studios, had paid heed to the invaluable feedback of its dedicated player base. It was clear that the journey from early access to final release had been a labor of love, resulting in a product that was meticulously crafted and enhanced with the player experience in mind.

    However, what truly resonated with me was the way Baldur's Gate 3 ignited a sense of camaraderie among my friends and me. The memories we forged, the challenges we conquered, and the stories we co-wrote within the game's expansive universe will undoubtedly remain cherished for years to come. Baldur's Gate 3 had not merely entertained us; it had united us in a shared narrative, weaving our personal tales into the grand tapestry of the game itself.

    In comparison to other RPGs, like the highly anticipated Diablo 4, Baldur's Gate 3 stands tall as a testament to the genre's evolution. Its gripping storytelling, meticulous world-building, and emphasis on cooperative gameplay elevate it to a league of its own. While each game has its own merits, Baldur's Gate 3's ability to forge connections among players and offer a multifaceted experience is unparalleled.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph that surpasses expectations. As both an RPG enthusiast and a friend, I can attest to its ability to captivate, challenge, and unite players in a way that only exceptional games can. Whether you're a fan of rich narratives, strategic gameplay, or simply looking to share an unforgettable journey with friends, Baldur's Gate 3 is an adventure you won't want to miss.    … 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.

    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.
