    De longe o melhor RPG que joguei nos últimos anos!

    Sempre tive muita vontade de jogar D&D mas nunca tive amigos com paciência o suficiente pra jogatina, então ter a possibilidade de explorar as infinitas possibilidades sozinho em um jogo tem sido muito legal pra mim!

    First time in a very long time I've been this excited for a new release. So many lately have been overhyped, overmarketed, overpromised and ultimately lacking. Day 1 DLC, game breaking bugs, some that even cooked graphics cards. It's satisfying that I bought a game that feels complete start to finish. It's normal to have some bugs on a game release. There's no such thing as the perfectFirst time in a very long time I've been this excited for a new release. So many lately have been overhyped, overmarketed, overpromised and ultimately lacking. Day 1 DLC, game breaking bugs, some that even cooked graphics cards. It's satisfying that I bought a game that feels complete start to finish. It's normal to have some bugs on a game release. There's no such thing as the perfect game, even when looking back through the nostalgia glasses, so it's not the expectation of perfection. It's the expectation of enjoyment and functionality without having to worry about microtransactions, time wasters, live service, and all of the other baggage that goes along with most releases these days. And this game by no means is completely unique in that regard, we've seen a couple that have been like that, and they deserve the same praise.

    The story is solid from start to end, and the largest complaint I could have about any specific section wasn't the content of the section but that I wanted more of it. Wanting to follow questlines to their fullest, wanting to explore minor characters more fully and just be further immersed in the writing and *effort* put in. How so many references are a love letter to the previous Baldur's Gate games and Faerun in general but also expands upon those things further, becoming its own thing in its own way. How it can make references to lore entirely outside the scope of the game, and make it meaningful but not devastating to those that don't know that lore.

    The gameplay is also satisfying. It uses 5e as a base, but makes several incredibly important changes that work very well for the nature of a video game (and quite frankly some of them would be good for our tabletop game as well). The rebalance of certain features (or entire class, as the monk goes) works well, making thus far every class I have tried across custom characters and origin characters feel impactful. Having a philosophy of fun over balance, but still maintaining genuine difficulty with many of the encounters is a masterstroke.

    Beyond that we have the options available at any given point. In past crpgs we all experienced the severe limitations of how to complete the quests. That didn't make them bad; I loved the Neverwinter series, the Baldur's series to this point, and both pathfinder games from owlcat. They're all games to be lauded and appreciated, being those that came before and the building blocks for those that came after. And build Larian did. Having played both DOS games and seeing the progression from one to the next not only in engine but in story scope. Rare in the old days could you take a quest and complete it in a completely different way. A few times per game. Now I've found that rare are the times where there is only one solution. While these types of games will never have the modularity and freedom of a tabletop game, this is the closest that gaming has gotten to it.

    In reference to those twitter threads, reddit posts, and memes galore- Larian raised the bar. You may not like it, but it's happened.    … Expand

    I recently started playing D&D with friends and was immediately captivated by the creative freedom and boundless ability to choose your own adventure in the truest sense. Baldur's Gate 3 has managed to capture the feeling of playing a real D&D campaign in every way I could ever hope for. Also, I kicked a squirrel on a Nat 20 and it exploded. 10/10

    It's just so much fun to experiment with the environment and abilities. There are things hidden everywhere in the world, so it's worth exploring extensively. Great dialogue, great voice acting, nice graphics, but also a few graphics bugs now and then. A second playthrough is already in the works.    This game is so great.

    If you are reading this review to understand whether you should buy this game or not, then my advice will be very simple.

This game requires no preparation in order to start playing, although some understanding of D&D    If you are reading this review to understand whether you should buy this game or not, then my advice will be very simple.

    Give this game a chance.

    It doesn't matter if you're familiar with the Dungeons & Dragons series, other Larian games, or previous games from the Baldur's Gate series. This game requires no preparation in order to start playing, although some understanding of D&D 5e will be very helpful.

    It doesn't matter if you like the turn-based cRPG genre in general. This genre is definitely not for everyone; BG3 requires a lot of time to be completed. You will probably replay for several hours a single huge fight, which in the reality of the in-game world would last a maximum of a minute, without being able to speed up the animations of characters.

    It doesn't matter if you want full control over your game experience or if you give control to the randomness of the dice. Most of the choices are YOURS in dialogue, and the world will respond to them. And if something did not go as you wanted, nothing stops you from "save scumming" (when you quick reload the game to get the desired outcome) the hell out of this game other than your own forgetfulness of pressing F5. On that note...

    It doesn't matter if you want or don't want that famous bear scene in your play-through. Want a scene with a bear? With a demon? With a vampire? With an alien? Just with a character of the opposite sex? With no one? The world is your oyster.

    That said, It must be pointed out that this game has some things that might be annoying for some players. Ally AI in battles might be too aggressive, so an NPC you want to live will rush forward, will be focused, and will die in a single round of combat, so you'll have to replay the whole battle even if it was the 9th and last one of long combat. The inventory is too old-school and requires a lot of management, especially if you want to swap group compositions from combat to combat. And bugs, which exist but are not regular and are actively fixed by developers.

    But still, these problems are not crucial and might be even better for this style of game, so I'll give this game 10.

    This is a game that has been created for many years by people who really love it.

    This is a game that does not try to suck money out of the player in any way possible.

    This is a game that might be the game of the year at least, or even of the decade, or of all times.

    A Love Letter to Baldur's Gate 3, Through the Lens of a Lifelong Gamer

    Ladies and gents, boys and girls, and all lovers of pixelated glory, gather round as I regale you with a tale of a video game experience that's unlike any other. You see, I’ve been basking in the electronic glow of video games since I was a wee lad of 6. Yep, back when pixels were as big as bricks and controllers were corded leashes that kept you within a 2-foot radius of the console.

    Fast forward to now, a ripe age of 40. That’s right, I’ve spent 34 illustrious years on this virtual journey, hopping from one digital world to the next. From the blocky landscapes of Pong to the sprawling realms of the latest RPGs, I've seen it all. But nothing, and I do mean nothing, has quite rocked my socks like "Baldur’s Gate 3."

    Let's put this into perspective. Over the years, I've saved princesses more times than I've actually gone on real dates (don't tell my wife). I've built empires, toppled alien invasions, and even made a digital duck jump over pixelated trucks. Yet, all of that pales in comparison to the epicness of Baldur's Gate 3.

    Why? Well, for starters, the characters! Oh, the characters! They're more layered than my mom's lasagna and that’s saying something. Conversations in the game are so riveting, I find myself questioning my social skills outside of it. “Why can’t I persuade the barista like I persuade a goblin chieftain?” I ask, as I sip my not-so-free extra shot latte.

    Then there’s the storyline. It’s like diving into a book where you don’t just read the words, but you live them. With every twist and turn, my heart rate oscillates like a roller coaster, and not just because of my age and questionable diet.

    Oh, and don’t get me started on the graphics. There were moments I had to pinch myself, and not just because I sat for hours and lost feeling in my leg. It’s the kind of visual delight that makes you wonder if you're playing a game or if you've been transported to an alternate reality. Maybe, just maybe, my years of gaming have finally granted me that special power!

    In short, Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just a game. It’s an experience. A tour de force in digital storytelling and a testament to how far we’ve come since those blocky pixels of yore. So here I am, a 40-year-old kid, standing on the virtual mountaintop, shouting, “THIS is the pinnacle of gaming!”

    Thank you, Larian Studios, for reminding me why I’ve been glued to the screen for 34 years and counting. Here's to many more hours of losing myself (and occasionally my legs) in the enchanting world you’ve created.    … Expand

    Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece, still has some bugs, as expected, the game is 2 weeks old, but they are fixing it quickly, BD3 is the best transcription of D&D for a game ever made, very well executed, amazing script, wonderful freedom of choices, perfect soundtrack.

    Perfect adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying game. For those who love to play D&D 5e this is a must! And for those who aren't familiar with the mechanics of the game style: yes it is slow combat with many cutscenes throughout the entire game with a lot of focus on the roleplay of the characters, each decision you make can and will have an impact on the whole game.

    Jogo RPG já faz 20 anos e não tem como negar o nível que a Larian Studios chegou de maestria em Baldur's Gate 3 beira a perfeição. Uma história cativante com personagens cativantes que faz querer conhecer a fundo tudo que pode acontecer e explorar cada cantinho de Faerun que parece ter saído diretamente da nossa imaginação. De uma chance a essa maravilha e não se arrependa.

Óbvio que existe alguns bugs ou outras coisas que podem não agradar, mas qualquer uma delas é ofuscada pelos pontos positivos, ver o carinho que essa empresa teve e o quanto apostaram em um gênero de combate esquecido, é simplesmente incrível.

    I'm only 30ish hours in to the official release but as someone who played it for about 15-20 hours in early access over 2 years ago they have really put the work into this game. For those who are having a bit of trouble with the complicated UI just know its D&D 5e accurate and the streamlined it more than I thought possible. The fact they were able to covert all this alone is incredible.

    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.
