    This is how games should be, no pre launch DLC No micro-transactions, high mod support and feedback is actuallly listened to. Biggest flex for any CRPG ever released, I highly reccomend you check this out even if turn based rpg's are normally not your thing, the writing the story the characters and all the options make it more then worth to check it out!

    Anything you point at is top notch, no microtransactions, no monetization after your purchase, no bending to the current "game industry" standards.

    As small as Larian studio is, they provided new standard. And every game from AAA studios will be compared to Baldur's Gate until something even greater is created.    … Expand

    The best game I've played in years! I'm reluctant to give it a 9 instead of a 10; the only downside was the anticlimactic ending.

    I'm confident that Larian will refine it over the next year or two, making it the best game ever created.

    Closest PnP experience Ive ever experienced in a videogame.
    I liked Divnity OS1 and OS2, but I LOVE Baldurs Gate 3.
    My DnD Group is on a long term standby for a long time now and this game gives me the feeling back I missed so much. Its not for everyone, but if you like CRPG or pen and paper / tabletop RPG, this game is literally a masterpiece!

    I am now on my second playthrough, in a coop campaign with friends/family. The game is even more fun when playing together with people you like/love. I am a dungeon master running a campaign in 5e, and I swear this is as close as you can get to actually playing D&D with a competent and fun dungeon master.

    I'm not sure why people are trying to review bomb this game? I guess some are Starfield fans (a game that I also own, that I find enjoyable when it is heavily modded, otherwise I'm having a hard time standing it in it's base game, it is so shallow compared to BG3). I am a D&D player/DM, and a veteran of old school computer rpgs (Planescape, BG1/2, NWN1, Kotor, DaO etc), and I fully endorse this game. Don't let the haters disuade you from getting this game, most of them seem to be suffering from mental troubles to be frank, and if you check the accounts most of them are newly made and the only game reviewed is BG3. I dislike these mental midgets, they rolled a 1 when they left their mothers wombs.

    Original review:

    I am a dungeon master in 5e, and have been playing tabletop since 3e. One of my all time greats is BG2, and I also love Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, and BG1 (and also Dragon age origins). This game is immense, very well crafted. A lot of the dialogue is intelligent, and full of humor (just like many older rpgs). I was afraid that there would not be another RPG like this, for many years, or perhaps ever. The Witcher 3 was also great, I love that game, and this is just as good (but now I'm playing as a drow bard called Turnip Jansen, instead of the eminent Geralt of Rivia). As a dungeon master, and an avid pc player of computer rpg, I can say without a doubt, this is as close you will get to the true experience of DnD with an experienced and dedicated DM, as you can get in a single player experience. This game has an insane replay potential. If you are remotly interested in RPG, you should do youself a favor and get this game.    … Expand

There are some story branches that are basically dead, not everything you think should work actually works, its quiet limited actually. It has graphic glitches and a simplified game world. There is no replayability but trying other story branches or characters. It's strength is the story when played as intended. It has quiet a lot choices for a story tunnel game, that are interesting. Especially when you decide to leave the path by not doing certain quests at all or killing characters instead of take one of the two to three given choices the game usually allows it, but the story is just over, everyone around it reacts not really realistic.

    It's like Divinity, its like Baldurs Gate I & II. It's not much more, it's just that. Which are amazing games, but a little disappointing for the new 2023 ultimate version of them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good and can be even better with a few patches. it is clear many reviewers did not make it until the end or they would have noticed performance problems and a lot of bugs in the last chapter. It took me around 90 hours to complete the game and I loved the voice acting, music and branching paths and stories.

    Unfortunately the last hours left a sour taste in my mouth. The run up to the boss while being bombarded by enemy artillery made me scream "Who the hell came up with this **** and a boss that has to be taken down with a timer running in the background was not fun at all. The ending cutscene took around 5 minutes leaving many questions unanswered. In Larian tradition this will be patched and an enhanced edition released. This is not okay though, if we invest almost a hundred hours into a game we deserve closure.

    I still had a good time with it but am tired of buying products that will get patched throughout the year to deliver a finished game. It is what it is though and I suggest opening the upper city for exploration and splitting the third act into two. The last act was too cramped and the city should be bigger. It is clear the upper city was cut out of the game but planned initially.    … Expand

    Best game I’ve ever played on PC. I had it pre-ordered for PS5 but changed my mind and glad I did! Haven’t played BG since the first game, but the changes here are superb! D&D pencil-and-paper is so tough to get organized these days, so this scratches my RPG itch quite well. Fantastic game. Not perfect, mind you, but superb in every way.

There's never been a game with so much reactivity and player agency.

Almost every single NPC of the over 2000 in the game have some unique dialogue. You can enter every single house in Badlur's Gate and talk to every NPC there and many have hidden stories that can lead to quests. On the higher difficulty mode the AI isn't simply buffed with stats like every other game. Instead the AI gets smarter, and has access to more abilities and uses potions or the environment (like exploding barrels) to its advantage. On top of all this comes beautifully crafted environments and characters that will make you laugh, upset or even cry, not to mention the absolutely awesome music scores.

    The turn-based gameplay, which was considered outdated, is revitalized in this game, making it incredibly entertaining with numerous possibilities and ways to play, including a wealth of builds, combinations, and items that aid in battles. But for me, the biggest highlight of this video game is its ability to make you feel like a part of its world. You truly immerse yourself in the game with every action you take, whether you choose the path of good or evil, you feel that you leave your mark on the game world with your decisions.

    Every technical aspect is very well done, with an outstanding soundtrack, well-crafted atmosphere, and world design, and it's graphically beautiful as well.

    In summary, it's the best RPG I've ever played and a game that sets a new standard in the genre and in video games as a whole. Whether you're not typically drawn to this type of game or turned off by turn-based mechanics, you should definitely give it a try; it won't disappoint, and you'll discover a truly marvelous world.    … Expand

    Highly recommended. Everything I could hope for from an RPG and as someone who grew up playing the BG and BG2 this game despite being different does them justice. It the best translation of modern DnD to a game by far as far as I know. Great presentation as well, acting, visuals, music, all top tier.

    mammoth game, excluding the bugs that are discounted in a giant of this magnitude (and I'm confident they will be corrected over time) the only flaw the game tends to penalize characters of an evil nature, precluding too much content between characters, objects and narrative lines.

    No microtransactions, an actual finished and bug free experience, this is what ALL games should be at, as a basic standard, every other dev team should aim for this as there basic standard. GOTY for sure, even if its not your thing just enjoy a complete game at launch for the first time in 20 years

    CRPG on an extreme high level. Story telling is insanely good, voiceovers are stunning. Combat is good (even if turn based is just not everybodys cup of tea), the companions are really nice and interesting.

    BG3 has even more potential: 1-3 more origin characters with different backgrounds (like a half-orc, dwarf, halfling), the content cut from the game, especially in act 3. I'm not much into pre-ordering, but I would order a DLC just now even without knowing about it. For some years, I had not much fun in gaming - the last game I had fun with was vanilla WoW Classic, but now with BG3 I could play the whole weekend :-) if you are into story based RPGs and don't mind turn-based combat, I can recommend this awesome game to you.    … Expand

    When they said that you can play this game in so many ways, they weren't kidding. You can be anyone and side with anyone or completely obliterate everything in your way. Just don't forget that actions have consequences - this is implemented on a whole new level.

    I absolutely love DOS2 but BG3 managed to improve on many aspects. I'll be playing this game for hundreds of hours.

    Probably the biggest achievement is that they managed to make a CRPG quite approachable for people who never touched the genre. As a result, more people will be looking into other CRPGs, which is a win for this relatively niche genre.

    Larian really loves what they are doing, and it shows. I applaud the fact that this is such a massive success. Not only me, but it seems like the devs didn't expect it to be such a massive hit either. Well deserved.    … Expand

A complete product void of Microtransaction, excellent performance, virtually bugless. Stör is excellent, char are excellent and so is the music,voice, animation.

The graphics in the game are also not bad, but the only thing that makes it difficult to navigate in the dark is that you have to turn up the brightness. I didn't like the interface of the inverter and the layout of things in it - it was so small that I had to get closer to the screen and look at something. I didn’t like the highlighting of the inscriptions of objects in the world, as I understand it, some things are not highlighted, so it’s easy to miss them and not learn something new and opening other tasks will not happen, unfortunately.

Remember when we thought sliced bread was the best thing since... well, ever? Move over bread, there’s a new game in town, and it's not just your regular run-of-the-mill escapade – it’s Baldur's Gate 3.

    From the moment the game loads, it's evident: my social life was about to take a severe hit. The graphics? Crispier than my grandma's fried chicken. The story? More compelling than my aunt's tea-time gossip. And the gameplay? Smoother than that questionable pickup line from the guy at the bar last weekend.

    Larian Studios clearly sold their collective souls to some mystical entity (or maybe just a Beholder) to produce a game this rich. Every character seems alive with their quirks and unique dialogues, and if you haven't tried voicing them out loud in your best dramatic overtones, are you even playing it right?

    Every decision I made in Baldur's Gate 3 felt weighty, and trust me, choosing where to brunch on a Sunday has never been this difficult. Whether I was scaling treacherous terrains, forging alliances, or just making a tadpole-induced friend (no spoilers!), every moment was an adventure, a challenge, and a chuckle.

    Speaking of humor, the game's wit is sharper than a rogue's blade. It never misses an opportunity to offer a sly nudge or wink, reminding you that even in the direst of circumstances, there's always room for a chuckle.

    In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 didn’t just raise the bar; it launched it into another dimension. If this game were a dessert, it’d be a seven-layer cake, with each layer more delicious than the last. So, do yourself a favor: dive into the world of Baldur’s Gate, but maybe warn your loved ones first – they may not see you for a while. A game? More like a lifestyle.    … 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.
