    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 defined my teenage gamer years. I'm so very glad the series has found a worthy developer to carry on the legacy of those older games -- and really, to exceed them in many ways. As far as I'm concerned this is as close to a perfect CRPG as we're ever likely to see. I hope this provides a foundation for a renaissance of digital Forgotten Realms content.

    I spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times. Coming from DOS2, I feel at home but it's definitely a DnD and Baldur's Gate game. It's a very genuine RPG experience, beautifully crafted so far and I cannot wait to see more and more and more. I rated this a 9 initially but set it to 10 to compensate people who give this game a 0. You areI spent only 20 hours but I can say it's really engaging. It can be also challenging at times.

    Baldur gate 3 is the Platinum standard for making rpg. True Rich experience which offers huge amount of content & replay value years to explore. Larian have literally made an anomaly rpg which will make other developers jealous how they did it. It's an phenomenon experience & if you are rpg player you should not miss out this experience in your life time.

    baldur's gate 3 is a visual treat, packing in all the dungeons & dragons classes we love. it feels like an upgraded divinity 2, with choices and encounters that can go a zillion different ways. seriously, if you're into d&d or just looking for a wild ride, this is your game.

    No longer will the game developers have an excuse for why their game sucks and is full of microtransactions. They have had their a** firmly handed to them by Larian Studios who is spanking them and asking "who is your daddy"?

    This is easily the best RPG that has released in 2 decades and you can tell was made with love, care, and genuine respect for gamers everywhere. With an amazing story that captivates you and has you constantly asking yourself what is happening behind the scenes, phenomenal companions that each feel like their own person who you want to learn everything about, to the streamlined mechanics that feel as smooth as butter.

    Other game developers should feel EMBARASSED that they have been so thoroughly outclassed. All AAA games by big studios should be on this level of quality, but their laziness and greed has held them back to the realm of mediocre. Shame on every large developer that isn't Larian Studios.    … Expand

    So basically I hate playing this game, but hear me out! Before you jump into conclusions I'd like to explain why I gave this a positive score.

Before you jump into conclusions I'd like to explain why I gave this a positive score.

    1. Baldur's Gate 3 spits in the face of PS and Xbox by standing its ground and delivering to PC players first. It's been a long time since a AAA game has given us anything good because normally big studios would develop their games for Consoles first and then throw up a half-finished, half-tested title for the PC gamers. Don't get me wrong, the game is still buggy as hell but what's happening right now is historical and it hasn't been seen since probably 2006-2007.

    2. Another thing that plays a huge role as to why this game will receive a positive score from me is ... yep you've guessed it - no battle passes, no microtransactions, no lootboxes. You pay for the whole game and you get the whole game. Simple. Again, something that nobody does nowadays and yet everybody wants to see more of.

    3. You can literally undress your character completely but when you see that 800K daily player count something seems off, doesn't it? When was the last time you saw a AAA studio do this? I personally haven't.

    4. You can play offline.

    5. AAA title for 60 USDeez - the way it's supposed to be.

    As an fps player I absolutely despise the camera in this game and how it moves separately from the character. The bugs and the crashes don't help my experience either, however I'm willing to support it solely because Larian Studios flashes their butt cheeks in the faces of those conceited nobs at Sony Playstation and Micro&Soft Xbox and shows more backbone than all of the studios in The West combined.    … Expand

The turn based combat is also just like DnD in that players roll for initiative and then characters go in the order that they rolled. Same with the character development, as DnD offers almost limitless combinations for your character to choose from. This is the closest iteration of a true to form video game adaptation of DnD that I could imagine, so well done Larian Studios!… Expand

    They listen, communicate and embrace their community in ways I wish other development studios would do. Sadly the corporate machine has crashed through the gaming landscape in recent times driving the soul and gamer driven ethos to near extinction in favour of corporate greed and lining the purse strings of the already wealthy.

    To me the most important thing Larian have achieved here is not just making an absolutely phenomenal game, but they have restored my faith that maybe the future landscape of gaming is not completely lost. Even if you don't like CRPG's, get behind this group of amazing developers, lead by an amazing leadership team. Show other companies that is ok to make games that don't try to squeeze every single drip of blood from the community in favour of making games driven by passion.

On a side note, it could be a little intimidating for someone who never played D&D like myself, but learning the game mechanics as you go is also part of the fun about it.

    Now, the game is by no means perfect as there are some issues I like to point out, the game do have some minor bugs here and there but nothing too ground breaking and hopefully fixed in future patches. There's also random FPS drops and crashes but it could be varies with different users experience so I would not go further into it. Another QoL that I hope they implement in the future is adding a pause button for the game.

    Otherwise the game is just perfect, with a tons of replayable value and every time you replay the game its a different exprience and you could never get tired of it. Fingers crossed that with the success Baldur's Gate 3 is having right now, it's a start of the revival of the CRPG genre and hopefully more developers out there realized that everyone still appreciate a great game that is fully furnished and not just DLC expansions, season pass and microtransaction.    … Expand

    Been playing since the start of Early Access and it was already among my favorite games back then, now with the full release it might just be the greatest game I've ever played. It's my dream game in almost every regard, I love the characters, the music, the world, the choices, the combat, the abilities, everything. Easiest 10/10 I've ever given.

    A sheer masterpiece of a game. A true project of passion that respects gamers time, money, and desire for quality. Nearly every aspect of this game is evidence of a love for the craft as opposed to overt greed via bare minimum aspiration.

    This game is gorgeous, and the environments are varied. The companions are fascinating and extremely interesting and likeable. Itemization is great,    A sheer masterpiece of a game. A true project of passion that respects gamers time, money, and desire for quality. Nearly every aspect of this game is evidence of a love for the craft as opposed to overt greed via bare minimum aspiration.

    This game is gorgeous, and the environments are varied. The companions are fascinating and extremely interesting and likeable. Itemization is great, its actually fun to find magic items and learn about all the neat things they can do. Freedom of choice is interwoven in to the very fabric of every fork in the road. Combat is a bit slow, but extremely fun and interesting. They nailed the feeling of 5E D&D. The game is mind-boggingly repayable as every narrative choice has the potential of profoundly changing entire outcomes of the game as you play on.

    In an age where everything needs to have a shallow battle pass progression system, overpriced cosmetic store, pay-to-win MTX, and treadmill gaming where you feel like you're going in circles without any actual meaningful content to make it worthwhile, this game feels like an absolute unicorn, and it's sad, because just 15-20 years ago, this type of game was the expected norm.

    Of course no game is perfect, and there are some minor blemishes here, but I honestly wish I could give this game 11/10. Larian deserves it, and the game industry needs to take note. I sure hope they keep hitting it out of the park. They feel like the old Blizzard and Bioware used to feel like when every game release was a massive legendary banger.

    Do yourself a favour and buy this game, and while you're at it go back and try the Divinity Series as they are also fantastic.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nine points because a party of four is not enough. Also no rogue options, or forces you to play as a custom made main char rogue. (Don't wanna play with an evil vampire thing). Needs more npc options which you can recruit to your party. Also I kind of hate the origin character thing. Everything else is perfect. Sooo perfect that, even though the complaints I just wrote here are a huuuge problem for me, I could only cut one point. Thanks for the game. But please stop shoving origin characters down our throats (for your next games of course). And please bring the ability to create a custom party in single player.

    This is the first pre-order I haven't regretted. I pre-ordered No Man's Sky (And came to love it after a couple years of updates from the devs), Anthem (We all know how that went), some Call of Duty game, and something else. The point is, This is huge. Not only did they SELL a game, they FINISHED a game. Which is more than can be said for the last TEN big games I have bought. That's no fault of the studio, I'm guessing it's the CEOs at the top trying to appeal to the investors by getting the product out as soon as possible. I truly appreciate the hard work that went into this game, it's a breath of fresh air.

    The AAA games that have been coming out these last few years are disappointing at best. With Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok being exceptions. Studios like Ubisoft, Activision, EA, and Bethesda have been putting out some really lackluster games. That's not the studio's fault, it's the executives that only want to make a profit from these games. And it's EXTREMELY prevalent. I hope this game's success shows those companies what we want out of a $80-$90 game. (CAD$)

    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.
