    If this game doesn't get the 2023 GOTY, it's going to be a huge injustice; the affection that Larian Studios put into it is evident in every detail, it is simply impressive.

    It's a good game. Yes I know, it's a good game. This is without a doubt a good game. How do we support such a good game? We buy the good game. I wonder when we'll get another good game. It's definitely worthy of being a good game. Let us all pray for another "It's a good game.".

    Impressionante como esse jogo conseguiu minha atenção, nunca fui de jogar RPG de mesa nem sigo o universo de D&D dei uma chance para este jogo e ele conseguiu me fazer vibrar a cada vitória em batalha, lotear o inimigo após a vitória é gratificante. Fazer a estratégia e cuidar cada detalhe do seu grupo, o jogo está lindo e bem feito. Estou empolgado com esse jogo como nunca antes.

    This game is just amazing ! no micro transaction, no payed DLC, no bugs and infinity possibility ! i think this deserves GOTY! in the family of Elden Ring , The witcher 3 and GTA, a game with quality , not focused on money but on quality and gaming experience deserves more than 10/10 (for people who played DOS1 and DOS2, you will love this even more!)

    Congratulations to the entire Larian team for this remarkable achievement! Baldur's Gate 3, besides being a masterpiece, is a true lesson in respecting us as consumers. It's a powerful statement against the increasingly declining and exploitative video game industry.

    Baldur's Gate 3 stands as a shining example of how a game can capture the hearts of players by staying true to its roots while pushing the boundaries of the genre. A big shoutout to Larian for reminding us all why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

    I decided I am not going to let me fool by the hype, because earlier games in the series was crap.
    Then I discovered my favorite gaming streamers praising it, then watched some gameplay videos.
    So I gave it a chanche, since I love rpg and mmorpg with fast pace and demands using your brain a bit. No I'm 40 hours in, in 3 days.. Its a lifewrecker and you have a hard time letting go

    No I'm 40 hours in, in 3 days.. Its a lifewrecker and you have a hard time letting go because of the constant cliffhangers. The choices and consequences, possibilities to develop your charachter, the voice acting and the massive amount of voice acting is very good! It looks VERY good for using older engines like DX11 and Vulcan. I whish there was more multiplayer options though, that would be the KILLER of mmorpg. Sending a certain company MS just tries to buy directly to Hell without passing start.. (monopoly reference) I am truly amazed, the second and third games in a series usually makes them crapier and crapier. But this is like a new start, a good start, a finnished and featureperfect game that just works with no bugs at all for me. The story is long large and entertaining, and you make it the way you decide to. I am tempted to say this might be the best game ever made to date, I think even hardcore fps gamer are able to like this. But for the beautiful art it is fully fledged, you do need a good GPU. I play on a RTX 3080 And that is enough to run it on high or ultra. I cant really put that as a minus, because that is our own choice what hardware we use, they just makes it possible to play with lesser, and OFC if they are going to make it very nice no matter which game it is, you need fast hardware. If they made all games to look alike and the weakest hardware as reference there would be no development and nicer graphics. And all the gpus would go to the miners rather than displaying how good games can look and feel. I just get mad when people whine about that they are not able to play graphic heavy games on their laptops with all the whistles and bells that a premium graphics card gives the game developers to build into the game. STOP IT, you need to understand that gamedevelopers want their products to be smooth and nice like high framerate uhd video and have a lot of graphic features making it real and smooth, and for that they need power. In 10 years you probably can buy a new laptop which gives todays games run like a new premium GPU today.

    Visuals and art style and animations are all top notch, barring a few minor hiccups and glitches with the camera, but the soundtrack and music more than makes up for that with some of the most iconic and epic music I've ever heard in gaming. Borislav's genius really shone through with this game.

    The level of ambition in this game with the attention to detail and the amount of pathways to navigate the storylines and plots for each Origin and each Act are mind-blowing. And with all of the visual fidelity and cinematic animations on par with many AAA studios. The level of care put into ensuring nearly every pathway for the various class and race combinations are explored in a satisfying manner is truly jaw-dropping.

    Easily the Game of the Year for 2023, and RPG of the decade, if not a top 3 RPG of all time.

    I played it when Early Access came out, and after so many years I finally can play the full version. The experience of BALDUR'S GATE made me reluctant to finish the game. I read every article and note carefully, marveling at Larian's arrangement and atmosphere of each scene, the immersive feel of the game was unmatched, and I was shocked by the whimsical approach to each quest line.

    I have been playing this game since the release, and, in one week, I haven't managed to finish even Act 1 after 25+ hours (Real life and all that). Still, just the first act is more complete than 90% of the games I have played. Every corner you turn, there is a new secret, a new way to finish your mission.

Still, just the first act is more complete than 90% of the games I have played. Every corner you turn, there is a new secret, a new way to finish your mission. You can do everything you can think of doing and some you probably can't think of. At one point, I managed to talk my way into the enemy camp, mess up their ritual, and release the prisoners, then I placed a silence spell on a room, killed one of their bosses, went to the next boss, repeat. That one section reminded me of the Hitman games. Everything reacts to your choices, the game even realizes you have multi-classed and reacts to you. Remove your cloth and run around naked? People will comment on it. I think I can play the first act 5 times and still not get every variation and that's a 30-hour section. I think I will be too busy with this game to play anything else for the foreseeable future.

    Oh, and there is a cute owlbear cub who gets adopted by the dog you adopt as the dog's little brother. What's there not to like?

Baldur's Gate 3 has not only met the sky-high expectations set by its revered predecessors but has soared beyond them, redefining the RPG genre and delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. Larian Studios has masterfully combined their innovative storytelling prowess with cutting-edge technology to create a game that stands as a true testament to the evolution of role-playing games.

The graphics are breathtaking, bringing the fantasy realm to life in ways that immerse you deeper into the story than ever before. Whether you're wandering through the bustling streets of Baldur's Gate or venturing into the treacherous dungeons beneath, every environment is a work of art, filled with hidden secrets and surprises that reward your curiosity.

With each decision you make, the intricate web of consequences unfolds, echoing the series' rich tradition of meaningful choices. The writing is top-notch, filled with wit, charm, and emotional depth that breathe life into the diverse cast of characters you encounter.

    Combat is a thrilling blend of strategic depth and cinematic flair. The addition of dynamic environments and verticality adds a whole new layer of tactics, allowing you to exploit the terrain to gain an edge over your foes. The turn-based system is executed flawlessly, providing a perfect balance between accessibility and complexity. Every encounter feels like a carefully choreographed dance of spells and steel, rewarding both careful planning and quick thinking.

    But perhaps the true highlight of Baldur's Gate 3 lies in its co-op multiplayer mode. Joining forces with friends to navigate the challenges of the world elevates the experience to new heights. The ability to collaborate, make divergent choices, and witness the consequences together creates an unparalleled sense of camaraderie and shared adventure.

    Larian Studios' dedication to post-launch support and updates is commendable. Their commitment to listening to the community and refining the game based on player feedback ensures that Baldur's Gate 3 will only continue to improve and evolve over time.

    After 35 hours still in act 1 but this game is awesome and it saddens me that companies like activision, blizzard, ea, microsoft are so ignorant to the fact that a good and well made game will sell regardless.

    Es el mejor juego de rol de la historia. Después de jugar mi primera run en este juego, puedo decir que me he enamorado de este tipo de juegos al que hace años que no jugaba. Desde el Dragón Age Origins no he tenido algo tan divertido y a la vez con tanto contenido. Y decir sobre todo que este juego es insuperable.

    That's awesome game. And that's my first review on metacritic, special for Baldur's Gate 3. My little advice for newbies: do what you want to do, don't lock at consequences, "best's" choices, on guides "how to find a legendary sword on 1lvl" and etc. That's your adventure, be pleasure with it.
    I hope other RPG/CRPG developers will be take an example from Larian.

    I usually enjoy my games quietly and very rarely leave reviews, however Baldur's Gate has earned the praise that it is being given. There hasn't been a game in recent years that has captured my attention quite like this. I'm a novice in the DnD world, but in my opinion it is nothing short of amazing and the voice acting is actually believable and engaging????

    I've never reviewed a game prior to today. BG3 is one of the best games I've touched in the last 5 years, and it's refreshing to not feel the need to reach for my wallet for a battle pass or new characters that are being released. The story is rich and full of detail and the world feels full and interactive, with engaging turn based combat.

    Early access done right. As a DND fan I am soo happy to be back in this world figuring out puzzles and having intense combat scenarios. BG3 is deserving of Game of The decade award.

    Glad other game devs are outraged by the success of BG3. It highlights the corrupt money making mindset of the copy paste games we have as of late

    The game is dense and rich. Art direction is generally very good. The only downside is lacking enough time to play.

    Easily one of the contenders for GOTY.

The dialogues, the stories, the character designs and their plots, the voice acting, the immersive world and beautiful graphics, and the real flexibility of the gameplay - these are, in my opinion, the most visible pluses of this game. Well, and from me, I'll also say that the biggest blink of an eye was that you can play an evil character, in the sense of, for real, an evil villain. You don't come across that too often in games, so I respect that XD. I honestly think this game will live on for a long time, looking at the growing modder scene and the opening of the game to modifications. I would like to thank Larian for this game, because we probably won't soon meet another studio that creates AAA RPGs with such passion and detail. Expand

    really, there's no other game that grants such an extensive range of RPG expression and is as enjoyable as this one. it's so full and rich with possibility and personality that it made me want even more and expect so much of everything. unfortunately, this also left me many times disappointed. some actions leave you hoping for consequences that never come. several mechanics lack depth and meaningful outcomes. romance is shallow. some important characters have weak dialogue and narratives. some fights are poorly designed, many times with a hoard of boring enemies that just crowd the rounds, making it feel unnecessarily slow and uncreative. the difficulty is also so inconsistent, mostly tending to easy, even though i was playing on tactician. and i get it, managing a game of this magnitude must be very hard, but it doesn't stop me from feeling it could have been better.

    most of the issues that i'm talking about begin in the third/last act of the game. it feels rushed, meaningful details you got in the previous acts get rarer. bugs and performance issues in this act don't help either. between some fantastic quests, there are a bunch of boring and outright bad ones and unsatisfying resolutions. my character seemed neglected in the final events, with choices becoming inexplicably limited and their consequences underwhelming. the end of the game left me thinking how it could be better, instead of reminding me of the great things i had experienced and honoring all the fantastic things the game has to offer.

    it sucks to not be rewarded more after so many hours of great content, but i really loved most of the game. the downsides mostly come from my own high expectations, fueled by the game's overwhelming positives. overall, solid game, will play again many times.

Pero tras 2 semanas de ver Gameplay, leer opiniones y escuchar a la comunidad, este sábado a las 17:00 compré el juego.
    Refleja los juegos de rol al 100% de D&D, han conseguido imbuime en la historia solo con las primeras escenas del videojuego; En mi época éramos jugadores solitarios y este lo vuelve a ser, aunque hay opciones de jugar con los amigos, en ese sentido lo agradezco, quiero vivir la experiencia de juego sin tener que estar en un clan o hermandad, y que me rusheen el contenido para equipar me.
    Tengo un ordenador normalito con una tarjeta gráfica antigua una rx580 y un ryzen 5600x, y va de maravilla, no se necesitan un megaordenador, hasta en eso han acertado.
    Videojuego al más estilo old school, lo voy a disfrutar mucho, muchas veces y poco a poco; ayer mismo dejé el juego en mitad de un combate y se que cuando vuelva estaré en ese mismo instante para continuar, un detalle muy a tener en cuenta, porque todos sabemos que cua do menos te lo esperas,te requieren para algo en casa y en muchos videojuegos es imposible dejarlo al instante y en este se puede.
    Mi valoración actual es de 100 puntos, no puede ser menos. Muy buen videojuego, vale cada céntimo que pagas por el.

Featuring a fantastic story full of heart, wonderful voice acting, I felt connected to the story from beginning to end.

    I have seen a lot of comments about the ending of the game not measuring up to the beginning. I disagree. I think it does end a little abruptly *just like every dnd campaign*, but a sprawling epilogue isnt needed. The story isn't the one that plays just before the credits, its the one you participated in for the 100+ hours it took you to get there. There were some minor bugs in my playthrough, but none that truly detracted from my experience. Things like t-posing ghouls in the background of a cutscene, or a romance scene playing twice. My performance was great across the board, though I am running a pretty solide rig.

    All in all I will be playing and replaying this game for years to come. Bravo Larian! P.S., please make an expansion or Baldurs gate 4!

    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.
