This is an example of a game done extremely well, and we can only hope beyond hope to get more games like it. Well worth the price of purchase, as I can't see anyone finding a reason to hate the game.

    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Unfortunately, I've seen comments in a similar fashion. Unlike some people, I enjoyed the level cap in a CRPG. In the DoS series, I enjoy min/maxing. Since the maximum level is uncapped, I felt pressured to kill some characters that I wouldn't otherwise. Here, I felt more freedom. Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic;    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic; however, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's much less crowd control, which means fights resemble actual battles rather than one party stun-locking the other throughout the entire fight.

    The story is marvelous in my opinion. I don't like games where my character wakes up one morning, and for an hour, the game tries to tell the backstory. The game starts with action and ends with action.

    One issue is that, until Act 3, the story flows intensely along a narrower path. In Act 3, the game takes you to a very large city where you need to slow down and adapt to new stories, unless you want to skip all the content and rush through the main story. I felt a bit conflicted about it because I didn't want to miss out on side content, but I really wanted to follow the main story. However, I can't give it a low score because there's so much content in the game, lol.

    Also, I must mention that the romance aspect is terrible. I completely ignored it throughout the whole game because the dialogues are too amateurish. I wish they hadn't included it at all if they didn't have the time to align it with the overall quality.    … Expand

It's to no surprise that there will be many in a game of such a scope and Larian (the studio behind the game) are constantly pushing out fixes. Still, it can take you out of the immersion from time to time from cutscenes not appearing to characters walking through walls. The other big downside is sometimes the camera really doesn't know what it's doing in battle and cutscenes at times and it can be a little frustrating, and sometimes downright hilarious. Either way, this game is spectacular and is truly a once in a generation type game. I wish other studios gave as much heart and soul to this game like they do instead of running it into the ground with micro-transactions - which this game is free from anything in-game. Major kudos to the team, you should be proud!… Expand

    GOTY quality.

    This is the quality of games we as a community have been looking for. A modernized return to the classic style rpg. No monetization or gimmicks post release that lock away game play or features. When a game is actually good, there's no need for cash shops and predatory monetization.

    Baldur's Gate 3 has immortalized Larian Studios among gamers.

Its just so well made, the cutscenes are amazing, it actually has consequenses so if you do some evil **** it will impact your conversations and gameplay later in the game. Really a nice way to play DND 5e digitally.

Every companion is super well written and has something interesting to them. Also the lack of bugs and the complete non existence of micro transactions makes this a unicorn in the current game market. This might just be my favorite game of all time.

    No BS microtransactions to distract and extract, no nonsensical battle pass, just a wonderful game made by some wonderful people.

    It's not very often I see a dude in a suit of armor with a bunch of devs dressed in cosplay and ultimately become endeared to them as they exude a dedication to the game itself. It really shows in their work.

    I just wish we get a bit more after story (but i think they will add), but it was so so great
    The writer did fool me, Gale left me with a broken heart, greedy Wizard!

    Everything in this game, world, people, mechanics is so great, almost perfect (hello lil bugs)

    The battles even at story mode are not easy, in general its not easy, but its so satisfying, bcs all the time i though: omg yes! i did it, omg i am so great! and next battle i die bcs i didnt act stratetic enough haha

    The music and the voice acting is absolute 1st class, its perfect, absolute

    overall, its for me a masterpiece, a game i missed in the last 10 years, i was always a larian fan, but baldurs gate is now one of my most fav games ever together with dragon age origins, final fantasy X and Even if Tempest

    The gold standard of what a game should be on release. When was the last time you heard of a game being feature complete on release? Is there bugs? yes. Is it the best single player / co-op game I've seen in a decade? Yes.

    This might be my new favorite game of all time. I've never played DND, but so far I am having a great time learning all the new mechanics. The amount of build variety within a single class is amazing, not even mentioning multiclassing. The dialogue is also top tier. It's entertaining while keeping the story serious and down to earth well as much as a medieval fantasy can be.

    Not a perfect cRPG but the best cRPG of all time. It's a new standard for the genre.
    Exceptional mechanics, good history, beautiful graphics&sound, and an unique vision of the concept of freedom for a computer game. Other cRPGs, as the original BG I&II, may be better in some points, but neither game is as solid in all features as BG III.

    Cuando un juego te hace pensar en los personajes, las elecciones que has hecho, las elecciones que todavía querés hacer, el siguiente lugar que querés explorar y la progresión general de la historia DESPUÉS de que hayas cerrado el juego y tal vez estás en la cama o fuera de casa y no puedas esperar para volver a jugar, entonces algo va terriblemente bien.

    Este juego te atrae de una    Cuando un juego te hace pensar en los personajes, las elecciones que has hecho, las elecciones que todavía querés hacer, el siguiente lugar que querés explorar y la progresión general de la historia DESPUÉS de que hayas cerrado el juego y tal vez estás en la cama o fuera de casa y no puedas esperar para volver a jugar, entonces algo va terriblemente bien.

    Este juego te atrae de una manera que pocas veces sentí en algo, es una experiencia diferente, una realidad diferente, es tu vida propia vista por los ojos del narrador y tu personaje. Vos y tu personaje son uno sólo.

    Yo mismo no soy un jugador de D&D. Es por eso que apenas conozco las reglas, pero el juego te brinda suficiente información para orientarte y, con el tiempo, aprendes cosas "juguetonamente".

    El mundo en el juego parece tan increíblemente vivo. Nunca sientes que estás "trabajando en" misiones porque incluso el registro de misiones está escrito con sugerencias escritas, como si estuvieras tomando notas sobre las cosas tú mismo.

    Deambulando por el mundo, descubres algo interesante en cada esquina y te distraes con algo en el camino hacia una búsqueda y luego hurgas aquí y allá y de repente ha pasado media hora y tienes que recordar a dónde vas realmente. porque has descubierto un lugar oculto que absolutamente querías explorar "sólo brevemente".

    Otro punto a destacar son los personajes. Se siente como viajar con "gente que vive y siente". Cuando recorres el mundo, dependiendo de la combinación que hagas en el grupo, las personas también tienen cosas de qué hablar entre sí, algunos se entienden y bromean, otros se enojan, se hacen comentarios aquí y allá. Parece "real". Y no quiero ni empezar con las relaciones personales que haces con tus compañeros. A veces olvidas que es solo un juego preprogramado.

    ¡Y luego las elecciones morales que tienes que hacer! Un simple encuentro con un NPC puede desencadenar una historia de gran alcance que te dejará sin saber a quién creer. ¿Deberías creerle a alguien y a quién ayudas ya quién no? ¿Deberías ayudar a alguien en absoluto? Todo es posible, nada es obligatorio. Las posibilidades parecen infinitas.

    Básicamente, recién comencé a jugar (llevo 30 hs in game) y solo he visto una parte del mundo hasta ahora, ni siquiera puedo comenzar a imaginar cómo será cuando llegue a la ciudad.

    Estoy seguro de que he olvidado una serie de cosas que me gustaría elogiar. Ahora que lo pienso, realmente no sé cómo voy a justificar comprar otro juego a precio completo en el futuro dada la cantidad y, lo que es más importante, la calidad que obtienes por lo gastado acá. Sé que.. duele gastar una cantidad así elevada de dinero, pero $20.000 (unos 60 €) por este juego en realidad no son suficiente cuando ves lo que obtienes (un juego terminado sin apenas errores, nada que comprar a través de DLC, sin microtransacciones, no tienes que estar en un comprar un pase de temporada cada mes a partir de entonces). Obtienes un juego que es simplemente divertido.

    Podría haber dado un pulgar arriba y dejarlo ahí. Eso es bueno porque nadie leerá esta reseña de todos modos. Pero este GOTY merece tantas palabras como sea posible al respecto. Ni siquiera comencé a hacerle justicia, podría hablar de eso por mucho más tiempo.

    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.
