    A great game. Larian did an excellent job in following up BG2 with this new chapter in BG Saga. Story, game mechanics and graphucs everything is praiseworthy.

    Criticar este juego por tener un combate por turnos, es como criticar un shooter por que tienes que disparar. Esa gente no debería poder dejar su critica aquí.

    It's a good cRPG. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Pros:
    - dialogue
    - characters
    - story arcs/quest design
    - graphics

    Cons:
    - maps that are designed to railroad you
    - atrociuous camera
    - too lengthy dungeon parts
    - there's a combat literally around every corner

    The HYPE:

    The game is a rare combination of many good things, but it's definitely not perfect, nothing is.
    - AAA budget indie funding
    - Passionate developers
    - Talented developers
    - Experienced developers
    - Honest developers
    - Beloved IP

    Normally no more than 2 of the above come together, especially with how normal it has become for developers to sell their souls to cunning businessmen with no interest in games or people.

    The CRITICISM:

    I see a lot of criticism that it's just "DOS3" and not BG3.

    I grew up with BG1 and BG2 and really liked them, but the combat always bothered me. These games were made to be a DnD experience on the PC but the combat in DnD is turn-based, while the combat in BG1 and BG2 is an awkward blend of real-time and pausing.
    BG3 does DnD more justice in terms of combat.

    Likewise I can see the DOS2 DNA in BG3, but it is still a DnD game through and through that centers around the DnD city of Baldur's Gate, feeling a lot more matured and true to both previous BG games as well as DnD.    … Expand

    The Story and pacing are very good for a story driven game. You could easily spend 200 hours on 1 playthrough like i did. My main criticism is the inventory management, which doesnt have enough filter or options to blend certain item groups in or out. If that would be fixed ar some point, it would be a 10/10

    A master piece. Only thing I don't like is the excess of humour ( too much undead NPCs in the city interacting with normal people like if this is a normal thing) and the music. The main theme of baldurs 3 is bad, not as epic as baldurs Gate 1 or baldurs Gate 2 main theme. That theme was memorable.

    One of the least ‘casual’ games I’ve played in a long time, and I love it! I mention casual, because my other favorite game this year is Dave the Diver, about as casual and accessible as they come,

    Baldur’s Gate III is completely the opposite and it took me several hours to get a decent handle on the mechanics of the game.

    It’s an amazing story and numerous side quests, a point and click adventure, a true D&D roll playing game with dice rolls on the screen, a deep tactical strategy game and all set to an amazing score and better than average graphics.

    I am actually surprised that there are not some negative reviews only because it is not a quick play or easy to get far into in a couple of hours. I think that’s a testament to the story telling and how even though complex, players are compelled to keep playing to see what’s next.

I haven't been this enthralled with a game since I was a child 30 years ago. This is absolutely absurd; and I am not even a big fan of turn based CRPG's! The writing, the options in combat and gameplay in general, this is almost like an entirely new genre. It's a CRPG, but it's also an immersive sim. There are very rarely only 2 or 3 ways to get somewhere; more like "Get there however you like. Fly spell, give it a shot? Fell like jumping down that chasm which says "Death"? Well you might die. Or you might end up in the middle of a city miles below the surface if you cast a feather fall spell first. Lol, you can stack boxes like Minecraft to get over things, or shape change into a smaller creature to get through an opening. Find the pixel perfect coordinates to manage a jump that even the devs didn't anticipate; and the game reacts. Wow does the game react. To the point where I had a character who received bonuses for not wearing any protection running around with just their weapon and otherwise naked. People were commenting. Everything from the person's courage to how the area itself is going to heck in a handbasket. How they had the time to script out, to write out every dialogue tree for all of the options we can make as players is just beyond me, as this takes CRPG choice and consequence to the next, next level. It's like Baldur's Gate 2, a new Deus Ex made by Warren Spectre himself with a team of 1000 and a decade's worth of dev time and X-Com all had their game ideas smooshed into one Genie wish and out popped Baldur's Gate 3.

    I could use all 5000 characters and still have far more to say about this game, but I'll close with: I started playing CRPG's way back at the age of 9 with Pool of Radiance. I've played every D&D release on PC/Console since. I've played most modern RPG's starting with King's Field and FF7 in the mid-late '90s. Love the first two BG games, loved Oblivion, the Mass Effect Series, KotOR, DragonAge Origins, Persona Royale, Wastelands 3, Planescape: Torment and The Witcher 3. Cyberpunk too. Had a blast. This is an entirely new beast. I thought I had freedom in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided? Not like this. Larian should be given a bonus by the gaming industry as a whole. This is literally unreal. I can only *pray* publishers will give other, smaller devs a shot at making more games like the this. The budget and the time. Just as fantastic would major publishers letting their massive studios beneath them make games that are this in depth in other genres. This is the best game I have played since The Witcher 3, perhaps the best since the original Mass Effect series...maybe the best since Baldur's Gate 2, which at the time of it's release was an absolute marvel. Heh, and Larian should license it's engine out to other devs so they can have as interactive a world as this one, because there is just no way they could have scripted all these possible decisions and had the game out in 20 years. It has to have some type of dynamic quest and story line adjustment because the game would break too many times if it didn't. Unless literally half of the studio was tasked with implementing a solution for every possible choice they could think of and then sql'ing it in...for the entire 6 years of development. There is no other way this many choices would be possible.    … Expand

    Excellent presentation, from the cutscenes and visuals to the music and voice-acting. Well-written dialogues and a compelling story with excellent pacing. A great, fully-realized cast. Several fun quests, with memorable characters to meet and impactful decisions to make. Extensive customization and build variety, with numerous options for Spells and actions. Robust combat embodies the chaos of Dungeons and Dragons.

    Bad-
    Some bugs and a bit of cutscene jank take away from the immersion. Frame drops occur later in the game.

    Thoughts-
    Baldur’s Gate 3 is a triumph for many reasons. Story-telling, combat, dialogue, choices, visuals, music, voice-acting, pacing, side quest design, complexity – everything feels spot-on, and the attention to detail is insane. That’s not accounting for the sheer replay value with all the classes, subclasses, spells, paths, decisions and much more. Even with its imperfections, slight as they may be, Larian has once again raised the bar for role-playing games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muazzam. Harikulade. 135 saat süren, her anında büyük keyif veren, her yerine girip her şeyi yapmaya çalışsam da muhtemelen hala kaçırdığım şeyleri olan, devasa ama bir o kadar da incelikli bir iş.

    Evladiyelik bir oyun. 2 yılda bir tekrar oynamalık. Bambaşka karakterlerle ve seçimlerle ilerleyerek tekrar tekrar deneyimlenecek bir iş.

    Oyunun en etkileyici yanı seçimler, bunların sayısı, oyunun dünyasını, gidişatı ve karakterleri etkileme derecesi. Daha önce hiçbir rpg'de seçimlerin bu derece mühim olduğunu görmedim. Divinity Original Sin II bile bu seviyede değildi diye hatırlıyorum. Sadece iyi ve kötü rp yapmak da değil mesele ki o yönden de sızı sayısız defa sınıyor. Mesela Işık Hanı diye bir yer vardı, orayı koruyan Isobel diye bir büyücü var. Düşmanlar onu kaçırmak için baskın düzenlediler. Savaşı kaybettiğimde, karanlıktaki tek sığınak olan bu han harabe oldu, içindekiler kötüye dönüştü, Isobel gitti. Oyun epey değişti yani. Araya öyle güzel ara sahne girince oyun icabıydı galiba, bu savaşı kazanmam mümkün değildi diye düşündüm. Sonra oyunun rpg seviyesine gücenmeye karar verdim ve savaşı tekrarladım. Zor da olsa bir kaç denemenin sonunda kızı kaçırmalarını engelledim. Neticede han ve içindekiler sağlıklı kaldı. Hakikaten takdir edilesi bir dizayn. Buna benzer sürüyle şey var.

    Oyun boyunca yanımızda olan companion'lar da şahane tasarlanmış. Hepsinin kendisine özgü bir karakteri, bir problemi var. Oyunun başından sonuna kadar devam eden, ara ara kırılmalar yaşanan, inişleri çıkışları olan, dallanıp budaklanan ve sonunda da çok sağlam finaller yapan görev dizileri var. Hepsiyle beraber olmaktan, bu macerada beraber dövüşmekten büyük keyif aldım. Çoğu, hep hatırlayacağım karakterler.

    Oyunun dünyası çok geniş, onlarca farklı ırk, bunların hikayeleri ve kendilerine özgü özellikleri var. Benim her zamanki gibi en çok ilgimi çeken şeytanlar oldu. Özel sözleşmelerle size güç bahşeden ama her zaman niyetlerinin altında bir piçlik yatan, Doğu mistisizmine bürünmüş iblisler. Burada bir kaç tanesiyle karşılaştık, sözleşme yaptık ve öldürdük. Çok karizmatik karakterler gerçekten.

    Oyun sizi sürekli yan yollara sapmaya teşvik ediyor. Her köşe bucakta ya ilgi çekici bir hikaye ve görev, ya başka bir görev için kritik bir eşya, ya değişik bir karakter ya da sizi güçlendirecek zırh silah vesaire buluyorsunuz. Bu bakımdan oyunun harita tasarımını da çok beğendim. Neredeyse souls oyunları kadar bölgeler birbirlerine bağlı. Alakasız yerlerden girip ummadığım yerlerden çıktığım çok oldu.

    Combat'ın taktikselliği ve çeşitlliği de gayet iyi. Normal saldırılara ek olarak, kısa dinlenme ya da uzun dinlenme sonrası yenilenen saldırılarınız da var. Yani elimdeki en güçlü şeyle vurayım diyemiyorsunuz. Sonraki savaşları düşünmeniz gerekiyor biraz. Özellikle de istediğiniz zaman kamp yapamadığınız düşman bölgelerinde.

    Ben her zamanki partimi kurdum. Kendim damage veren büyücü oldum. İkna yeteneğim vesaire epey yüksekti. Önüme Karlach'ı bir tank gibi konumlandırdım ama dev kılıcyla iyi hasar da veriyordu. Lae'zel ise yine dev kılıçlı ama biraz daha az canlı fakat yüksek hasarlıydı. Astarion ise rogue olarak uzaktan ve aralardan sinsice takılıyordu. Kendi görevleri olmadığı sürece diğer karakterleri gruba dahil etmedim ki her dahil ettiğimde ekibin dengesi bozuldu.

    Oyun boyunca yardım ettiğiniz önemli npc'ler ve gruplarda istediğiniz taktirde son savaşta müttefik olarak size yardım ediyor. Yaptığınız şeylerin karşılığını görmek güzel. Aylin Hanımı hiç unutmayacağım.

    Savşların yapıldığı alanlar da taktikselliğe uygun şekilde tasarlanmış. Sürekli farklı şeylerle mücadele etmek durumunda kalıyorsunuz.

    Bulmacalar tam sevdiğim kıvamda, çok az.

    Görevleri yapmanın her zaman birden fazla yolu var. Oyun bazen hiçbirisini göstermiyor, zamanla siz keşfediyorsunuz. Bazen de bir tanesini gösteriyor ama siz dünyayı keşfedip npc'ler ile konuştukça diğer yolar açığa çıkıyorlar.

    Oyunun görselliği diğer izometrik rpg oyunlarına göre çok çok iyi. Büyü efektleri ve animasyonlar çok gerçekçi görünüyor. Ama asıl ayırıcı özelliği her konuşmaya ara sahne ve seslendirme, oyunculuk kasılmış olması. Diğer crpg'ler gibi text üzerinden ilerlemiyor. sanki Witcher 3 oynuyormuşsunuz gibi hissediyorsunuz. Bu kalibrede bir yapımcı için muazzam iş hakikaten. Ve hepsi çok iyi kotarılmış.

    Sonuçta 9/10 veya 10/10 vereceğimi daha çıkmadan biliyordum ama bazı açılardan benim bile beklentilerimi aştı. Oynadığım en iyi bir kaç oyundan birisi ancak bazı açılardan (seçimler ve hikayeye yön verme) en iyisi. Teşekkürler ve tebrikler Larian Studios.    … Expand

Inventory management is supported by nice music that makes it not feel like a chore and instead helps I feel relaxed and inspired.

    controller feels 10x better than mouse and keyboard. lack of WASD control on M/K is a horrible design choice but controller offers you character control with the joystick.

    Baldur's Gate 3 gave me back the enjoyment and satisfaction of playing a game, after so many rushed/unpolished or just bad games over last decade. It is a shining gem - a must play if u will.

    First of all, it's a game that I launch up everyday after work. Not because I feel like I have to or that there's nothing else to play but because I want to and to me that means a lot.

    It's not perfect, I was pretty overwhelmed by how much reading there was when creating my character and selecting skills so I sped through it and as a result struggled a lot in the early early game    First of all, it's a game that I launch up everyday after work. Not because I feel like I have to or that there's nothing else to play but because I want to and to me that means a lot.

    It's not perfect, I was pretty overwhelmed by how much reading there was when creating my character and selecting skills so I sped through it and as a result struggled a lot in the early early game (fighting twice as many monsters as I have companions and them dealing twice as much dmg was pretty frustrating ngl). My characters are now level 4 and I feel a lot stronger and my understanding of spells has improved. Maybe more guidance at the start would be helpful or a slower introduction to mechanics.

    As for the story telling and story mechanics it feels great. One of the first story games that I've actually listened to the story in. I'm not sure yet how much weight my decisions carry, but it seems like a lot which is impressive.

    I'm using different companions to do the things that they're good at. Rather than having a single overpowered character that does everything and 3 stat sticks following it around. Everything has meaning and it doesn't feel forced.

    Great job Larian Studios o7    … Expand

    Absolute banger! Reminds me of golden age Bethesda/Bioware/Blizzard around 20 years ago.
    This dropped as hard as Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009 and The Witcher 3 did back in 2015.
    These days probably only Larian, Owlcat and Obsidian can drop a true banger. A game with soul, deep non-contrived narrative, player choice, fleshed out world, detailed and meaningful character creation.

    Best RPG I have played in a really long time. Both Single-Player and Co-Op are great fun. There is absolutely no downside to playing either or the other way.

    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.
