    Everything you expect from a role-playing game is almost completely present in Baldur's Gate 3, such as:
    High freedom of action, strong and deep story as well as surprising and epic, wonderful and charming music and voice acting, enjoyable and innovative gameplay, quality and eye catching graphics, dynamic and diverse world, attractive and lovable characters and high repetition value and    Everything you expect from a role-playing game is almost completely present in Baldur's Gate 3, such as:
    High freedom of action, strong and deep story as well as surprising and epic, wonderful and charming music and voice acting, enjoyable and innovative gameplay, quality and eye catching graphics, dynamic and diverse world, attractive and lovable characters and high repetition value and most importantly, the game that was made with love, not lust to rob people's pockets.
    The only weakness I can find is the lack of identity of the characters. I mean, I wish that instead of all the characters being pansexual, each character had their own sexual orientation. But again, this is a personal opinion, not a professional opinion, and I can't reduce the score because of this
    In short, it can be said that this is one of the best games of its genre so far, and if you are interested in the RPG genre, don't hesitate to experience it.    … Expand

    Baldur's Gate III is stunning.
    The sheer amount of content is borderline overwhelming.
    Execution, quality and presentation are on spot. There are minor optimization issues, but nothing that can even remotely impact the quality of the game.

    Absolutely amazing game, do yourself a favor and play it, even if you dont know what DnD is or never played any crpg before. It has some bugs and issues, but pros outweigh the cons so heavily its a solid 9.999/10 for me. Thanks Larian!

    A tough one after 50 h. Still 7/10 for me. Let me explain:

    It is a very good game, obviously. Everybody downvoting because he feels so, is a morron. I noticed though that many, if not most, reviewers seem to upvote the game on Steam for political reasons, or because they seem to be old. Politics: No microtransactions, no battle bass, etc. You probably see what kind of reviews I mean.    A tough one after 50 h. Still 7/10 for me. Let me explain:

    It is a very good game, obviously. Everybody downvoting because he feels so, is a morron.

    I noticed though that many, if not most, reviewers seem to upvote the game on Steam for political reasons, or because they seem to be old. Politics: No microtransactions, no battle bass, etc. You probably see what kind of reviews I mean. And then there is Dragon Age Origin. Lots of nostalgia reviews, which is fine because this type of games was popular 15-20 years ago.

    However, let's be honest: There is a reason why this genre died. It is too slow, too sluggish, and it has TOO much content. Too much content is when you just do not care to reach 50 % of it. From what I have seen, many players did not even finish Act 1. Why? Because it's just a game.

    Therefore, I may regret it one day, but BG3 is a stark reminder of why this genre became niche some time ago, and why the next dev should not try the same. You will not earn the same political outrage as BG3. Actually, most Steam games do not even have microtransactions... so, well, where is this outrage coming from exactly? And why? But more importantly: If the next RPG is as big as BG3, then the Act 1-quitters will just not buy it. In the same many players never finished XCOM. But if you do not such a game once, you will likely not buy a similar game next time.

    So, my verdict is 7/10 because it is a very good game. But the political hype is distorting. It probably just came out at the right time, where many PC gamers are annoyed by Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft etc.

    As for the game: I wish the main story was more interesting and the game's pace less sluggish (at times), unless you need a walking simulator with tons and tons of meaningless content.    … Expand

    Some fps issues but a lot of texture pop ins.
    Not a fan of turn base games and think this game even if pulling away from its origins didn’t really require turn based strategy even so story was ok.
    The fact that they used this game for clout and still are has put a dark shadow over it for me.

    This game masterfully executes the D&D experience. In addition to all this, for the size of the game, its graphic quality is incredible and especially the localization of subtitles for different countries. Really a game that elevates the franchise even further and manages to demonstrate what a studio with people passionate about a project is capable of doing. My GOT this year without a doubt.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is so good that its making my partner mad on how I spent most of my time with this game (jokingly). Baldur's gate 3 has been one of the the rare games that eat me away with its impressiveness and complexity of its story, system and combat. Its graphics is not that state of the art when it comes to graphical fidelity but it can still be a looker with its different location. Baldur's gate 3 will drag you with its story and the characters you meet, with their story really captivating both in companions and other quest that you will encounter.

    But, it has its problem. Baldur's gate 3 is not a perfect game. Baldur's gate 3 suffer from the mass effect writing when it comes to romance. Characters would fall for you in a fast paced setting that will shock you on how everyone is very into you. But, expanding on those romances can blossom into something that is very interesting and engaging (They just had a bad starting point). One of the problem of Baldur's gate 3 problem is the camera angles and control. Sometimes, camera would get stuck on environment where its a struggle to fix to the point of awkwardness of its control.

    Overall, even with those problem this game is I consider this game as a contender to the game of the year spot, with its long hours campaign that is strangely not over stretch that has quantity and quality built into them and compelling characters with intriguing background. The gameplay is rough and hard but satisfying nonetheless. Overlooking the graphic fidelity, it is still a good looking game that has a quality of a triple A game that can serve as a blueprint on how to nail a perfect RPG. This game is a 9.9 for me but 10 would be a good score overlooking the problem that it has. Larian studios deserve the praises that they get with a banger like this one.    … Expand

It is an enormous RPG that is far too big, with at least half the quests and places of interest being average to below average. The game would have been far better if they trimmed 30% of the weakest quests and tightened the game significantly. There is a huge amount of filler in the form of books, quests, NPC's and unnecessary dialogue. For example, you walk into a pub and there are 15 NPC's standing or walking about. You have to talk to every single one because one or two of them will either give you a quest or will be required for a quest, but at least half the time the game will not indicate if an NPC is important or not. So you talk to each NPC in turn and 90% of them have absolutely nothing interesting, important or useful to say. But each one forces you into a cutscene-esque dialogue which wastes loads of time and completely takes you out of your immersion. Also the combat, while decent, takes absolutely forever with 50 monsters each taking 20 seconds per individual turn, making you watch monsters glitch about for at least 5 hours per turn before you get to move.

    The game has countless problems like this and they only serve to waste your time. Wait at least 2 years until mods and updates have fixed all the issues, then play this game, for a much better experience. However, understand that even with all the problems fixed it will only be an 8 at best because of all the filler and average/weak quests.    … Expand

    Best game of rpg in a long time, maybe the best ever. The quantity of stuff you can do there, and the way you can resolve quests are endless. Lot care and detail everywhere. I hope this can put an standard in the industry, of how a real game should be made.

To co mi się ogromnie podobało w grze to postacie, które możemy w zależności od naszych preferencji przyjąć jako naszych towarzyszy bądź nie. To my mamy wpływ na toZaczynają swoją przygodę z Wrotami Baldura czułem, że moja recenzja jest już praktycznie gotowa, lecz po pewnym czasie moje odczucia były troszkę zmieszane. Swoją recenzje chciałbym rozpocząć od plusów, bo takowych nie brakuje. To co mi się ogromnie podobało w grze to postacie, które możemy w zależności od naszych preferencji przyjąć jako naszych towarzyszy bądź nie. To my mamy wpływ na to w jaki sposób chcemy zbudować swój zespół. Mimo wszystko każda z nich posiada unikalną historię, która przeplata się wraz z naszą w trakcie przechodzenia gry. immersyjnym elementem jest tutaj również tworzenie relacji pomiędzy naszymi bohaterami, dając nam częsty odpoczynek od wątku głównego. Kolejnym plusem jest różnorodność światów. Lokacje jak i osoby/stworzenia jakie przyjdzie nam spotkać starannie oddają klimat miejscu w jakim się znajdujemy. Nie ma tutaj mowy o powtarzalności albo odczuciu, że już odwiedziliśmy dany obszar. Ten świat aż się chce eksplorować, ponieważ w każdym zakamarku czeka na nas nowa przygoda (czasami dosłownie) W dodatku świetnie została skonstruowana tutaj mechanika rozwiązywania zagadek obszarowych, które pobudzają myślenie i naszą ciekawość, nigdy nie wiadomo czy za jakąś szafą nie czeka przejście do nowej podziemnej lokacji w której jacyś ludzie nie mają problemu do rozwiązania. Kolejnym plusem (który trochę mnie przerósł) jest rozwój naszych bohaterów. Ilość czarów, umiejętności pasywnych, zaklęć, atutów, akcji a obok tego jeszcze broni jest tutaj zaskakująco duża, przez co można spędzić przy tym sporo czasu. Ostatnim najważniejszym plusem są moim zdaniem dialogi, których również w grze nie brakuje. Niemalże każda postać ma nam coś do powiedzenia, mniej lub bardziej ciekawego. Bardzo podoba mi się system rzucania kością, co sprawia, że nasze konwersacje są ciekawsze, ponieważ rozmowa nie jest w 100 procentach ustalona przez nas, a przez wynik, którym możemy manipulować, w zależności od umiejętności rozmowy naszych bohaterów. Efektem takiego działania jest również pokazanie graczom, że złe rzuty wcale nie muszą oznaczać złego rezultatu, a mogą przedstawić nam inną ciekawą kontynuacje. Najwyższy czas przejść do minusów. Chciałbym aby te minusy były traktowane z dystansem, ponieważ są one mocno subiektywne i nie muszą wcale oznaczać złego przygotowania ze strony twórców, chociaż ja mam osobiście odmienne zdanie. Po 50 godzinach gry, gdy kończyłem pierwszy akt grało mi się cudownie, raz sobie z kimś pogadałem, raz z kimś powalczyłem, lecz od drugiego aktu zaczęły się problemy. Pojedynki z wrogami często wyglądały tak, że przeciwnicy mający dwa a nawet trzy poziomy mniej ode mnie mielili mnie nieustannie. Miałem wówczas ustawiony poziom trudności Łatwy, ponieważ w drugim akcie na Średnim już się nie dało. Często jednak te pojedynki wygrywałem, ledwo uchodząc z życiem, podnosząc kompanów którzy leżeli na ziemi. Starałem się każdą postać zbudować jak najlepiej się da, zachowując przy tym kontrast obrażeń, kupowałem najlepsze sety jakie się dało, lecz było ciężko w każdej potyczce, ale jakoś się doczołgałem do trzeciego aktu, który dobił mnie już totalnie. Historia toczy się dalej, ale walk trzy razy więcej, co 10 metrów jakaś kolejna walka. Przeciwnicy słabsi poziomem robili ze mną co chcieli. Najbardziej uciążliwy był moment, kiedy moja postać była albo czymś ''zablokowana'' albo chybiła atak, po czym nadchodziła tura przeciwnika... przeciwników, ponieważ była ich cała horda jednocześnie. Ilość pojawiających się kreatur w górnym panelu przyprawiała mnie o dreszcze. W ten sposób, kiedy moje postacie już chybiły wszystkie ataki nadeszła kolej, w której wszyscy przeciwnicy wyprowadzali swoje ciosy. Tyle tego było, że zdążyłbym pójść do kuchni zrobić sobie jedzenie i wrócić mając swoją turę, o ile moje postacie do tego czasu jeszcze stały na nogach. Poczułem wielką ulgę kiedy historia dobrnęła do końca i mogłem zobaczyć zakończenie, ponieważ ostatni pojedynek musiałem resetować kilkanaście razy. Podsumowując. Całość mimo wszystko oceniam bardzo dobrze. Zawsze staram się patrzeć na gry z różnych perspektyw i z ogromną wyrozumiałością, dlatego myślę, że te minusy dla innych mogą nie istnieć, albo nawet być plusami. Mi jednak pozostało cieszyć się historią, bo była ona bajeczna i długo jej nie zapomnę. Serdecznie polecam tę grę wszystkim miłośnikom turowych RPGów, ponieważ bardzo rzadko wychodzą tak dobre produkcje. Larian Studio pokazało, że można stworzyć grę, która nie wymaga większych poprawek po premierze, a co gorsza zachęcania do gry tanim sposobem mikropłatności.… Expand

    BG3 is a pretty game with interesting characters and companions who you get to know slowly through their respective questlines along with their input in different situations.

    i love the implementation of the DnD 5e system and the homebrewing thats been done to make it fit into a videogame instead of blindly keeping everything.

    + the characters are well written, and have unique personalities and struggles
    + the dark urge origin fits surprisingly well for it being a highly customizable character
    + the combat being turn based is amazing, thats how baldurs gate 1 and 2 should've been
    + the world design is phenomenal, it rewards exploration
    + the quests are amazing, full of twists and many ways to solve them
    + the itemization is great, so many powerful items that define classes, literally BiS
    + the music is absolutely amazing, its so immersive, so forboding, mysterious

    now the cons:

    - the performance is bad in act 3
    - some quests are bugged
    - using long rest as story progession is weird and makes you miss some story beats, especially during act 3
    - camera is weird too, why does it hang on mountains? is it a literally person holding that camera and can bump into stuff?
    - the inventory is bad, you get lost easily without proper sorting

    Lets start with the disclaimer, the game has bugs and they are being worked on to the point you notice. The biggest in my opinion are in 5 hours I've locked up twice and there is an issue where cloud saving will lock so you cant save (it says it in the corner continously). The cloud saving just means you turn that off in steam/gog and turn of cross sync until you need it, then off again.Lets start with the disclaimer, the game has bugs and they are being worked on to the point you notice.

The cloud saving just means you turn that off in steam/gog and turn of cross sync until you need it, then off again. The good parts I wont get into details but they have put so much obvious love and attention to detail into this being a real player driven narrative. I got myself into some trouble by calling in some NPCs with a horn to help with a courtyard...they attacked a recruitable NPC who them was hostile. I spent 5 hours playing this court yard a dozen different ways, all fun and keeping me going to eventually get the NPC helpers murdered (saved 500 gold!) And split my party so some ran back inside and some across the map...and then after a long rest came back to find that npc in a sorry state but the quest fixed.

    Larian has done what no one has tbus far for me, immersed me to a point i talk to everyone, i have every intention of playing through again at least twice and I'm in act 1 (cleaning up the area). The quest line web is so interwoven if you look at players everyone has these moments that are huge twists and all unique to THEIR play through. I can't recommend this enough and if you can, play with a friend group, but limit that group to one wold card player.

    My biggest complaint is the autosave, keep it event based but give me an option to turn on every 15 or 30 minute autosaves. I mean there are outright player death options in dialogue and with the other issues some redundancy is needed.

    Need aasimar please :)

    Why 10/10? Play the game and figure out why these bugs are minor setbacks.

    Blizzard stop sending your employees to vote down this game. 9000 failed to make a good game in 5 years, I doubt they are competent enough to find the 0 button. And to all the "this is a slow combat game" ... you are stupid. I loved BG1+2, but missing turn based was a weakness of BG1+2 and a strength in games like Pathfinder after they introduced it. It's DnD, not your daily kiddy clicker game.

I sunk around 25 hours into the early access and decided, after completing it, I should wait to play more until the full release. I made my account just to rave about the game and how much fun I've been having since day one.

    Not only was I excited for the final release date to be set but Larian even pushed it forward almost an entire month!

    I have never been so enthralled by a game before.

    I have never been one to care too much about the fine details in lore and story, but this game is a completely different story. There is so much to learn about every character and the characters are tied together and it makes me want to exhaust their dialogue and explore how they interact with one another. The world is rich with story and developments and your actions DO matter and change how even side stories unfold.

    At this point in time I've put around 60-65 hours into the game and I only want more. There is something in every corner, there's a ton of class combinations to explore, and playing of tactician difficulty makes me really think and synergize my party together. I am playing a no-reload decision playthrough (I will obviously reload for deaths as I would have had to do the beginning at least 25 times by now) and I am loving it, every mistake, every decision, every action has meaning and I'm curious to see how it will end for me.

    This game is very thorough, the developers, Larian, are clearly people who love games and love D&D, and you don't need to know anything about D&D to play the game. Debuffs, Buffs, environmental effects, dice roll modifiers, etc. is all explained ad easy to digest.

    There's no microtransactions, no pay to win, no battle pass, etc. The game is a COMPLETE experience out of the box. Larian has truly outdone themselves, and proved that the real thing you need to make a good game is passion, dedication, and a willingness to listen. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in my playthrough and already excited to start my next as a multiclass something-or-other. Simply amazing.    … 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.

Hopefully, it is able to reap the richly deserved rewards for doing so.
