    I never played a baldurs gate game before and the cover art looked like this was going to be garbage.

    A rich and immersive game, with great freedom of action and choices. Outstanding characters, an engaging story, fun and so perfectly developed that you can play it several times without getting bored. Highly recommended for D&D fans, as it's the closest thing to a tabletop RPG ever created. Highly recommended for anyone who has never played this type of game as well.

    Developers just like they did with Elden Ring are jealous of the success of this massive incredible game.
    They say its an anomaly and not a new standard.

    lets get it right boys, its a new standard in CRPG and RPG in general.

    Incredible game.

    One of the greatest games of all time, been playing rpgs since the 80's and this is one of the best ever. Genre defining. Amazing graphics, the best combat maybe ever in an rpg, great voice work, high quality side quests and its fun as hell.

    Well done Larian! GOTY so far

I hired a Female Dwarf Barbarian who has some cool perk where she gets stronger with LESS armor/clothing on... so the game let me take everything off including underwear and she now charges into battle bare naked with just a Axe and boots on and she is easily my strongest character.

    I didn't think I was going to like the slower turn based combat coming from games like Diablo 4 and Remnant 2. To compare, those games feel like babies first RPG compared to the options and depth in this combat. Not only are you controlling a party of 4 but they all have their own skills/gear/personalities. And the loot system is amazing as well as 1 chest in some random ladies house you ransacked will have amazing boots for that naked dwarf barb I mentioned earlier.

    I wasn't expecting to get this game but I had to jump on board once I saw the numbers on Steam and I am so glad I did as this is easily one of the best RPG's ever made. Even if you don't like turn based combat/tactical RPG's I would still buy it just for the amazing possibilities the game allows you to explore that many games lack.    … Expand

A game where the servers were able to handle the load of everyone downloading the game at the same time!! Well played Larian Studios, I love it. The game is also extremely good.

This is rare for me to write and be knocked back by a game in modern times...over 40 years in gaming and BG3 has restored faith that a dev team still makes real games with heart and soul. Never played D&D games but know of it. That's irrelevant as it's an incredible gaming experience regardless of your choice of interests.… Expand

    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game. If only action RPG appeals you just head your way, otherwise it's best turn based RPG of the decade by far (sorry Pillar of Eternity or Divinity) . For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.

For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for the same category.
    Been playing in early access for while, and now the final game has shipped.
    in a nutshell

    Pros
    - Turn based tactical RPG with all the best features of that genre,
    - environnement interaction is top notch (fights are much more vertical that can be expected),
    - they stayed true to the Table top RPG AD&D and lore
    - Graphical AD&D eye candy and artstyle.
    - Lots and I say lots of RPG dialogue with choices, implications and consequences.
    - All your NPC can die and has more or less an impact on the story.
    - I felt like the whole "Beast and fiends" creatures were in the game.
    - Rolling the dice is so satisfying, If the game could use connected dices I would buy them.
    - Group management is very good (inventory, roster management...)
    - Multiplayer like in your good old table top game.
    - Music are epic and in the best of the genres.
    - Campaign length is really nice and not over-stuffed by filler fetch quests that sucks
    - Super replayability (I have restarted during the early access, and the prologue was rather different, based on NPC that died or not..)

    Cons
    - Cameras management could be better.
    - a little bit laggish on my intel i12 12900k + RTX4090 (but not frame rate issue) just a overall feel.
    - Still some very minor graphical glitches
    - IA is kinda meh...
    - Abandon hope of social interactions IRL once your sucked into for about 100 hours
    - Kinda tough where you're low level and if you have lost experience playing with level 1 characters for a while on AD&D.
    - UX is not fully intuitive at first but once you get the hang of it, that's pretty fluid

    This game is a monster in all categories and is currently my game of the year.
    It definitely has that "generation-defining" feel.    … Expand

    Best game. I am literally playing 3 games at the same time. One Solo play through, and one each with two of my friends, and i’m still enjoying every one of them. One of the reasons why is because in each play through I have a different party composition. I’ll be playing this game for a long while.

You can choose from a variety of races, classes, backgrounds, and abilities to customize your character, and then embark on an epic adventure with up to three other players or companions. You can explore a vast and beautiful world full of secrets, dangers, and opportunities, and interact with hundreds of characters and creatures. You can also shape the world and the story with your choices and actions, as well as your dice rolls.

    The game is very immersive and engaging, as it gives you a lot of freedom and agency to play the way you want. You can use stealth, diplomacy, combat, magic, or even persuasion to overcome the challenges you face. You can also use the environment and the objects around you to your advantage, such as setting traps, throwing barrels, or pushing enemies off cliffs. The game also has a lot of humor and charm, as it allows you to do some silly or creative things, such as talking to animals, transforming into other creatures, or casting spells that have unexpected effects.

    The game is also very faithful and accurate to the rules and mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons, which is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, it makes the game very authentic and realistic, as it simulates the tabletop experience in a digital format. It also makes the game very challenging and complex, as it requires a lot of strategy and luck to succeed in some situations. On the other hand, it also makes the game very restrictive and frustrating at times, as it limits your options and abilities based on your class, level, spell slots, armor class, etc. It also makes the game very dependent on RNG (random number generator), which can make some outcomes feel unfair or unsatisfying.

    Overall, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game that I would recommend to anyone who loves role-playing games or Dungeons & Dragons. It is a game that offers a lot of fun and excitement, as well as depth and replay-ability. It is a game that is still in development, but already shows a lot of promise and potential. It is a game that deserves your attention and support.    … Expand

    Good story (I'm in act 2) with clear replayability.

    I thought I could have conceptually grasped the scope of this game. I stayed away from reviews and videos about how to start, so I just went in blind. It is mind-blowing the number of choices, and how easy your game could take a total 180 degrees. It is hardcore FUN!!

    Ларианты 3 раз подряд прыгают выше головы, отличные диалоги, сложная боевка(на тактике), не линейные локации и сюжет, многие квесты можно пройти разными путями, так же как и пройти локации. Лучшая игра за последние годы, а в жанре конкурентов просто нет.Ларианты 3 раз подряд прыгают выше головы, отличные диалоги, сложная боевка(на тактике), не линейные локации и сюжет, многие квесты можно пройти разными путями, так же как и пройти локации.

    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.

    And BG3 is the pinnacle so far. It shapes up to be among my favourite single player games of all time, so there cant be less than a 10 from me for this gem.

    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.
