    This is one of the BEST games I've ever played, hands down. BG3 transports you into a mesmerizing realm that's beyond imagination. Can I live here? The graphics are seriously mind-blowing. Cut scenes and storylines are heart wrenching. I love how you can be tactical or guns a'blazin, or even super sneaky. Almost everything I come up with, the game lets me try it!

    Me está encantando el videojuego y eso que este género no ha sido nunca mi estilo, solían aburrirme y me costaba mucho entenderlos; Pues no sé que ha ocurrido que con este no puedo parar de jugar llevo más de 40 horas y no me canso.

ElMe está encantando el videojuego y eso que este género no ha sido nunca mi estilo, solían aburrirme y me costaba mucho entenderlos; Pues no sé que ha ocurrido que con este no puedo parar de jugar llevo más de 40 horas y no me canso. Es cierto que me he perdido con alguna misión alguna vez pero he tardado muy poco en encontrar alguna guía o sugerencia que me haya mostrado el camino. El juego por lo que he leído tiene 12 niveles, actualmente voy por el 8. Los primeros 4 niveles me costaron muchísimo porque no paraba de morir una y otra vez, luego leyendo, resulta que los D&D son así, empiezas con un nivel muy bajo y los enemigos no tanto por lo que una estrategia deficiente o pecar de excesiva temeridad va a desembocar en literalmente la muerte, pero transcurridos estos primeros niveles (que ya os digo, cuesta) la cosa sigue igual de difícil pero ahora tienes más margen de maniobra y si eres un poco listo en tu planteamiento de los ataques puedes salir airoso más veces de las que mueras. En definitiva me encanta. Le doy un 9 por no estar doblado al castellano ya que la voz es fundamental en un juego tan exageradamente narrativo como este. Entiendo que son muchísimas líneas de diálogo y traducir sería caro pero no imposible, además que mis 60 euros valen lo mismo que los 60$ de cualquier estadounidense el cual va a tener una experiencia muchísimo más inmersiva. Dicho esto si no te importa estar 120 horas mínimo leyendo sin parar el juego merece muchísimo la pena. Para mi no es el GOTY porque no es de 10 pero casi.… Expand

    A very amazing RPG experience which rewards players, who want to see every single corner of the game. Sadly, there are some game elements I don't like, like not being able to access the inventory of your companions which aren't in your party currently, which forced you to switch the companions, just to access certain items, but overall a very great game.

    Great game
    i don't like the camera angles at points.
    Combat is good and inventive.
    Story is so far interesting
    Graphics ok but not amazing
    Never played dungeons and dragons but it does have a table top aesthetic. You appear to have a lot of latitude in the way you do things.

    This game far exceeded my expectations. The role playing is great, voice acting is great, the characters are actually interesting, you can talk to animals, like all of the animals. This is easily the closest that a video game has ever gotten to feel like playing an in-person campaign of DnD.

This game is awesome and Larian exceeded all of my expectations, but it's not a 10 tho. BG3 has issues, so let's start with them, and talk about good stuff later in review.
    - bugs, lots of them. Mostly it would be something minor, like bugged cutscene, or stuff on the table you cant reach, companions not jumping over the edge, even tho if you start controlling them they are perfectly capable of making this jump, or other weird jumps, when you hit something mid-air and stuck in there. I had one bug with the quest, and I couldn't finish it, and save was too far to replay everything all over again. Only once I encountered "game-breaking" bug, when one of my companions couldn't travel, and refused to go to the camp, had to replay last 20 minutes again. It's better then most of recent AAA games, but this game is not without a sin
    - 3rd act cinematics. I absolutely loved cinematics at the 1st and 2nd act. But in the most of them in 3rd I was disappointed. Just overall quality, default music playing in epic moment, weird movement, companions shaking, dialogue cut-off or repeat itself and other strange things.
    - camera. Perhaps the worst thing in this game. Camera controls are just bad, and camera itself most of the times is showing inside of the walls or something weird else. It's getting worse with the fights where enemies are on the different levels and with the ladders
    Average stuff
    +- companions. All companions are well written, All of the main companions have an arc, which you can close in multiple ways. Some companions are fun to be around, some are annoying, and thats ok, they voice acting is on point. But GOD DAMN, why are they so HORNY
    +- performance. Most of the game for me was without the issues, usually I've played for around 4 hours and then had to exit game and open it once again, due to FPS drops and I have high-end pc. But act 3 is way different, when I entered the city I had to exit-enter game every 2 hours at least for game to be playable
    +- battles. I love turn based combat, but I can see how it could be an issue for someone who never played games with turn based combat and does not have an experience with dnd ruleset or other tabletop RPGs
    Now to the good stuff
    + audio. I absolutely loved music and voice acting. Several songs from this game are already in my playlist for dnd sessions. Voice acting is on point, my personal favorits are voices of Narrator, Rafael and Mol. God, I love them
    + freedom. This game really awakens your curiosity. I never had an urge to google how to do this quest, or look up where I could get a better sword. Game gives you all the tools, and you have to find the way to use them. Overall world is fun to explore
    + story. Both main and side quests are great. What I love is that most of these side quests carry on later in the game.
    + replayability. I'm absolutely sure, when I'll going to do my 2nd playthrough I'll get absolutely different experience, and it's wonderful
    + memes. Do I really need to explain myself here?
    I haven't tried coop yet, need to try it as well.
    Really hope for the DLC or BG4 already to know what happened with all there characters.    … Expand

    L'industria videoludica si divide in giochi fatti veramente bene ma recensiti male e in maniera oggettiva e giochi con mappe nemici e meccaniche riciclate che vanno avanti grazie al loro nome e ai pareri sempre oggettivi dei recensori.
    Baldur's gate 3 offre una libertà immensa con diversissimi modi per arrivare al finale (ben 17000 modi diversi), il combattimento a turni e coinvolgente è presenta chicche interessanti (ad esempio altezza e peso vengono considerati così da far stordire il nemico o farlo cadere magari in un pavimento crepato), l'ambiente circostante è un elemento da tenere sempre d'occhio durante i combattimenti dato che possono esserci elementi che danno vantaggio al nostro avventuriero (come:barili,oggetti sospesi fino ad arrivare anche ai tetti dove è possibile arrivare con i personaggi).
    Il party è veramente importante parlare con loro è legare porterà solo che vantaggi (oltre che a moltissime romance), ogni run cambierà anche in base al vostro party e alla peculiarità di ogni personaggio, ad esempio avere un personaggio con maggior percezione rispetto a noi può portarci a scoprire diversi segreti presenti nella zona di gioco così da condurci a qualche tesoro o qualche sorpresa inaspettata.
    La personalizzazione del proprio personaggio è a dir poco fenomenale, si possono fare creazioni in maniera curata e ben dettagliata che vi faranno perdere ore e ore per quanti elementi si possono cambiare a seconda della razza scelta. La trama è piena di spettacolo e di emozioni, ci troviamo nei forgotten realms di D&D, non si sente mai un singolo momento di noia e si respira sempre aria di avventura e magia.Ogni NPC circostante ci può portare sempre a una variazione cosi da far vivere ogni atto in maniera completamente diversa a seconda delle nostre azioni o dell'approccio che abbiamo avuto.

I bought into this a couple of years back but only put a couple of hours in and found I didn't want to ruin the surprise. So much to learn and find in this game! This game deserves an 20 out of 10. Larian devs put so much effort into this game and every time I think I have cleared an area, I go back to find more that I have missed. Wander EVERYWHERE. Go to dead ends. Open everything. All this exploration is on top of the amazingly well spoken and written story lines. I want to play with every character. If you are the type of person that might be interested in the story, quests, exploration, and are not turned off by redoing battles, if needed, then PLAY it. It is the best game of its type to EVER be developed for computers/console - I'm not kidding. It is the top of pile by a huge margin and that's for the last FIFTY (50) years of Dnd. This is a GOD tier Dungeons and Dragons Game.… Expand

Personalizzazione del proprio personaggio incredibile, personaggi già esistenti con background spettacolare, combattimento a turni STUPENDO, storia che ad ogni singola cosa ti tira di più ad andare avanti e là "legge dei dadi" ti fa vivere sempre cose diverse. Le tue scelte decideranno TUTTO, come gli altri ti vedranno e come interagiscono con te, le missioni possono cambiare e ad ogni sbaglio si aprono altre 3 possibilità diverse per andare avanti.
    Una delle cose più belle e poter cambiare console con la quale si gioca (per ora solo PC e steam deck ma più avanti anche da PC a Play anche) con lo stesso account.
    Sto portando 2 run diverse avanti e posso solo dire WOW, cambiare una sola scelta porta a tantissime variabili che ti faranno stupire di questo gran gioco.

    Meanwhile, BG3 is fun, full of content to explore and enjoy. The combat is a big improvement over Dviniy OS 2, and the 5th edition D&D rules fit right in and enhance everything you are doing. Coop is a delight as it always is in a Larian game, you can accidently clown over your friends (or purposely..) and they can do the same to hilarious effect. The game is complete, and though not without bugs, you can tell the plan was to release the best product they could.

    There's a reason why many studios announced ahead of the BG3 release that you shouldn't expect the game to be a new standard, and that their games are simple incapable of being as good as this. They are terrified of consumers expecting them to release finished and working products for a single price without pressuring you to spend hundreds of dollars to get the full experience.

    You should thogh. Buy more BG3s and Elden Rings. Buy less Diablo 4s. Do that, and we can expect more quality games like this.    … Expand

    Never before have I experienced a game that so seamlessly weaves together compelling storytelling, strategic gameplay, and a sense of genuine adventure.

It's a testament to the developers' dedication that they've managed to create a game where my decisions feel like they have real weight and impact.

The attention to detail in the world-building, the care put into character development, and the meaningful quests all showcase the love the developers have for their craft.

    I'll start off by saying I bought early access and was very hyped for this game myself. I played at least 124 hours in EA before jumping into the complete game (finished it after 112 hours). Act 1 was clearly polished to near-perfection; the amount of freedom of choice and things to do is mind-boggling here.

I played at least 124 hours in EA before jumping into the complete game (finished it after 112 hours). Act 1 was clearly polished to near-perfection; the amount of freedom of choice and things to do is mind-boggling here. I loved this game and would recommend it as a must-play, but I am afraid I cannot give it a 10 out of 10.

    The positive:

    -The character development of most companions felt really gratifying all throughout; you won't be able to recognize some of them by the end.

    -The amount of spells, weapons, potions, gear, and just stuff there's around to do is huge; you will be rewarded for exploring.

    -In terms of enemy variety, sure, you've got your typical humanoids with their respective classes, but you are bound to be surprised. There is no shortage of unique enemies.

    -The world design feels great and immersive, going from the fairy tale setting of Act 1, to the ghastly and otherworldly look of Act 2, and finally the city in Act 3.
    The negative:

    -You see, the problem starts right when you leave Act 1. Again, the content available in Act 2 and Act 3 is great, and that goes for the main story as well. But after experiencing what felt like total freedom in Act 1, I couldn't help but feel a bit more contrived in Act 2 and even more so in Act 3, with choices being narrowed down greatly. (I understand the time constraint of the devs and I am hopeful they will dedicate more time to continue polishing these aspects of the game in the future.)

    -This one depends; I personally enjoyed it, but I can see it being a problem for others that are new to the genre. The turn-based combat can sometimes be a blessing or a nightmare. It might make you approach some encounters differently to avoid getting stuck waiting for a bunch of enemies to finish their turn (even when making difficulty easier, you can still get stuck with this for a while).

    In summary, this game has been an enthralling journey marked by vibrant character development, a treasure trove of spells and gear, and a diverse array of adversaries. Act 1 stands as a shining example of near-perfect game design, offering what feels like boundless freedom and engrossing choices.

    While Acts 2 and 3 maintain the quality of storytelling and content, they introduce a more controlled narrative progression, a departure from the unrestricted exploration of Act 1. The turn-based combat, though enjoyable for some, might pose challenges for newcomers or feel too time-consuming.

    This game is worth buying for the rich experience offered in Act 1 alone. However, I advise players to approach the later acts with tempered expectations regarding the same level of freedom. If the developers continue refining their creation, there's hope that the enchantment found in Act 1 can be seamlessly woven into the later acts for an even more satisfying adventure.    … Expand

Larian did their job making quite possibly one of the best games of all time, and I look forward to only playing games that follow the golden standard that Larian has set for the industry.… Expand

    Baldur's Gate III is a break away success that took a lot of people by suprise. But despite the immense attention that accompanied this game's release, the hype does not cloud the fact that the product is a labour of love, offering a play experience which is fresh, rewarding, and complete.

But despite the immense attention that accompanied this game's release, the hype does not cloud the fact that the product is a labour of love, offering a play experience which is fresh, rewarding, and complete.

    The play experience is phenomenal, with supurb handling of turn-based and real-time elements which feel intuitive to the player. The enrapturing and mysterious main story holds one's attention, even throughout the plethora of side quests and smaller stories that the player is constantly invited into, placing Baldur's Gate III on the shelf besides other "just a little further/one more turn" masterpieces. The incredible freedom on offer to the player, from creating a character to the thousands of in-game dialogue and action choices means that multiple playthroughs will be inevitable for many.

    What really makes this game feel so fresh to play, is that it is offered as a complete experience. There are no pay walls, no online-only requirements, no in-game 'real money markets', no loot boxes, no pay-to-access skins, equipment, classes, etc. One purchase grants you access to everything. And beyond all of that transparent goodness, the game's production at all times feels like a labour of love on the part of Larian Studios, and everything but a washed-up sequel mired in corporate greed like so many once beloved properties. That this game has followed so closely behind Diablo IV's own release puts these observations into high relief.

    Lastly, the game looks and sounds gorgeous, with beautiful graphical rendering, excellent motion capture and superb voice acting from an audibly diverse range of actors who sound as though they're really committed to their characters and the stories they are telling.

    Baldur's Gate III truly exhibits what a videogame can be, not just as a singular experience, but as a legitimate storytelling medium. It is a showcase for video game excellence, and confirms it's place as a sure-to-be timeless masterpiece. 10/10.    … Expand

    This game is a Masterpiece! Larian's boys deserve the Goty, I think this is the most complete game in recent years, an immense game with lots of things to do but in a world that is never empty and fully enjoyable, if you have never played D&D you will find it slightly complex at all start, but you will get used to it in a few hours of playing I guarantee it!

    I feel like this game is being unfairly review bombed by trolls. To me this is a return to story telling that has been missing since the days of Baldurs Gate 2, KOTOR, and Dragon Age: Origins. It’s refreshing. I don’t understand any hate against the game…

    Larian's Faerûn unfolds as your playground, a carte blanche to whims and norm defiance.

The ensemble of companions, each propelled by their unique motives, presents a kaleidoscope of perspectives for nearly every undertaking.

    Review:

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an unparalleled gem that has redefined the very essence of role-playing games. Larian Studios has crafted an astonishing experience that seamlessly blends intricate storytelling, jaw-dropping visuals, and intricate gameplay mechanics into an opus that will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

    From the moment you step foot into the richly detailed world of Faerûn, you're captivated by the sheer scale and attention to detail that Larian has poured into every pixel of this game. The landscapes are breathtakingly alive, each blade of grass swaying in the wind, and every ripple on the water's surface reflecting the shimmering light. This level of detail creates an immersive environment that feels like a living, breathing entity.

    The heart of any RPG lies in its narrative, and Baldur's Gate 3 raises the bar to astronomical heights. The story is a mesmerizing tapestry woven with intricate threads of political intrigue, personal dilemmas, and cosmic mysteries. Every character you encounter feels like a fully realized individual, complete with their own motivations, fears, and desires. The branching dialogue system is a testament to Larian's commitment to player agency, allowing you to shape the narrative in ways that truly make it your own.

    But what truly sets Baldur's Gate 3 apart is its innovative gameplay mechanics. The turn-based combat system is a masterpiece of strategy and fluidity, offering a depth of tactics that will keep you on the edge of your seat in every encounter. The ability to utilize the environment to your advantage, employing spells to create elemental reactions or strategically positioning your characters, adds a layer of tactical complexity that is as rewarding as it is exhilarating.

    Character progression is equally engrossing, with an expansive range of classes, skills, and abilities that ensure each playthrough feels distinct. Whether you're a battle-hardened warrior, a cunning rogue, or a wielder of arcane powers, the customization options are boundless, guaranteeing that every player can manifest their unique vision of a hero.

    It's not just the gameplay that shines, but also the hauntingly beautiful musical score that lingers in your mind long after you've set down the controller. The melodies perfectly encapsulate the moods and emotions of the world, further drawing you into the game's enchanting embrace.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is more than a game; it's a testament to the evolution of the RPG genre. Larian Studios has poured their heart and soul into this magnum opus, and it shows in every meticulously crafted detail. If you're a fan of storytelling, strategy, and immersion, then this game is an absolute must-play. Prepare to be spellbound, exhilarated, and transported to a realm where epic adventures await at every turn.    … Expand

    To all the greedy studios around, which unfortunately represents 99.9% of the industry, this is what a video game should deliver in 2023. We've been accustomed to half baked, copy paste content year over year, but this gem shows us what we as customers should expect and require from these greedy corps.

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. There are some issues with bugs as well as gameplay but the entire scope of the game crushes those issues to make them seem like an after thought. It would take a lot of words to write how I truly feel but I will just say that Baldur's Gate 3 has done it.

    The only issue with this game, if it can in any way be called an 'issue' is that it's so unbelievably in depth and the plot is so complex and paths so interwebbed that a dlc will surely be impossible if not a work of many more years.

    It's the best RPG I have ever played, there is no competition. Absolute masterpiece. 20/`10

Es un juego donde tienes que tomar verdaderas decisiones y muchas de ellas traen consecuencias. También es muy, muy rejugable y sobre todo es extenso, al menos si te planteas cumplir todas las misiones que hay para explorar. Tiene unos gráficos sorprendentes y el guion es lo máximo... Te hace notar que es un juego desarrollado con mucho cariño.

    Para algunos les parecerá lento al principio y se quejarán, pero por que estos jugadores están acostumbrados solo a matar monstruos a puro click y sin pensar. Y este es un juego que te invita a utilizar la estrategia a que pienses y leas mucho para que sientas una experiencia cercana a lo que es jugar calabozos y dragones. Sin duda es un gran juego que llegara muy lejos y sera reconocido como tal, vale la pena jugarlo.    … 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.

    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.
