Sep 11, 2023Easily one of the best games that I have ever played in the last 30 odd years.
No Microtransactions... No Performance Issues... No DLC... Perfect in every way! -
Aug 10, 2023A truly masterpiece and for me the best game of the year until now. This game will be played for a very long time.

Sep 11, 2023This is a game changer for the whole genre. Graphics, plot, characters - everything is on Game of the Year level.
-
Aug 12, 2023I usually do nit rate games on any site but i cant miss rating BG3. This games is 10/10 for me! I like action games where gameplay is the most important but this game is soo good that i cant stop playing it

Sep 10, 2023Pretty much everything Baldur's Gate and Dungeons fans Dragons fans have been hoping for years. Maybe a little heavy on the romance, buy you can always toggle off what you don't want. Looking forward to a DLC or whatever Larian has in store next.

Sep 8, 2023It's probably my biggest surprise this year and easily one of the best games of 2023.
-
Aug 10, 2023Juegazo de rol, historia increible, jugabilidad unica, todo esta super bien hecho. Esperemos no le roben el GOTY a esta obra maestra... ese jueguito para niños de zelda y nintendo ratas.
-
Aug 10, 2023Amazing game all around, highly recommend. A perfect opening for new dnd players
-
Aug 10, 2023Tudo que precisávamos para voltar com RPG decente, atualmente está em grande falta de jogos assim.

Sep 8, 2023I love how the choices we make really change the story. I thank Larian for giving us this beautiful game.
-
Sep 9, 2023By far the best true RPG from this era, on the shoulders of giants, BG3, with its amazing voice actors, caption, history complexity, full of meaningfull choices that really change the game,... we have nothing like it in the game industry. Note, I usually don't like turn based games, but this one is different, it's unique.

Sep 9, 2023One of the best games I have ever played. The only complaint I have is they broke the game with a patch that kept me from playing for days... Only reason I’m not giving it 10/10

Aug 10, 2023Perfect, the best dialogues ever,

Sep 8, 2023I've been a fan of Larian Studios for many years, I know all their productions,
Baldurs Gate 3 is the best game I have ever played in my life.
400 hours on PC Steam, all achievements and now I just bought the PS 5 version and I'm going for the platinum trophy.
Thank you Larian Studios for this wonderful game ! -
Aug 10, 2023
-
Aug 12, 2023One of the best games in recent decade. Didn't expect it to be that addictive considering I'm not good at all in DnD system.
-
Aug 10, 2023From playing Dos1, Dos2, to this. Larian is constantly overdelivering what gamers deserve in this era of unfinished games on release.
-
Aug 10, 2023I was very sceptical of this game. Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are easily one of my favourite RPGs, so my expectations were very high....
This is an RPG how an RPG should be. I am still baffled how many options you have to progress, the fighting system is good. So far I have nearly no complaints. -
Sep 12, 2023
-
Aug 12, 2023One of the best RPG ever made. The voice acting is phenomenal. I don't anything about DnD and CRPG but this game changed my mind and I'm to try these type of games
-
Aug 10, 2023
-
Aug 10, 2023Instant masterpiece. I often save to just see the other narrative options. The story is phenomenal. What a game! Can't turn it off.
-
Aug 10, 2023GOTY for me. Best CRPG in a long, long, long time. The pacing is great, the story is great, the characters are great and the gameplay is amazing. A magnum opus.
-
Aug 12, 2023I find no other game better then this one so I guess I will give it the maximum score. I am close to finishing act 2 and I'm having a blast, and I'm saying that from the perspective of a gamer that never played D&D and never really was a fan of turn-base games. I love the game!
-
Aug 10, 2023This is the best game ever written and created. Growing up with D&D as well as all the baldur's gate games, this was the successor I was waiting for. Being a forever DM for tabletop games I never had a chance to experience a well structured world. This gave me the opportunity to play all my characters I have created in my head over the years and do pretty much anything I want to do in a world.
-
Aug 10, 2023Giving this a 10 because it's not made by Blizzard and Githyankis are cool.
-
Aug 10, 2023I love this game. Feels as close to IRL 5e that, in my opinion, a videogame can. Throughout the gameplay finding things that you usually can't do, even in other games similar to this. Earlier today, I threw a goblin off of a scaffolding, into his buddy, and got them both. Very, very satisfying.
-
Aug 15, 2023Game of the year for sure. There are/were some camera and AI bugs, but aside from that not much else nitpick on.
-
Sep 8, 2023
-
Sep 10, 2023With over 150 hours player the game does not stop surprising me. Definitely one of the best games I ever played. Great work from Lariat studios
-
Aug 12, 2023I've been enjoying everyday when I play this game, 10 out of 10. The game delivered in a complete package with no micro transaction. This is what game supposed to be.
-
Sep 10, 2023It's this kind of game which will leave a memory in you, after you're finished.
Masterpiece -

-
Aug 10, 2023Such a breath of fresh air in modern gaming environment. Where "give me your money" big studios stealing/overpricing without providing quality.
Game of the year. All i have to say -
Sep 12, 2023Pretty much GOTY . Gomanis strongly good , and one of the best rpg..........
-
Aug 12, 2023I have played for 90 hours I think this is the best pc game of the year none of them
-
Sep 8, 2023This is an amazing game with so much to do, ways to play and depth. Even if, like me, you don't enjoy D&D rules based games, give it a go, Larian have done an excellent job with it.
-
Aug 10, 2023From dialogues to graphics presentation is really strong in ths game, makes you want to play it non stop for hours characters are so likable that makes me wish that the party size to be more than 4.
-
Aug 20, 2023I have played Baldur's Gate 3 for 170 hour and this game is literally fascinating and I think it is one of the closest things to perfection and I don't agree with Swen because this is the new standart and golden age of RPG. Everything the game has to offer and the amount of time and effort that goes into it is really crazy. Every major game studio should take a lesson from Larian.

Aug 10, 2023A new milestone for crpg games. Everything Is top notch:characters, quests, choices, worldsetting, itemization... What to Say: bravo Larian Studios, you really nailed It!

Aug 10, 2023Best game of its kind, and probably the best RPG we have seen since Skyrim, a milestone of game development, I hope this game inspires an entirely new generation of games focused on content quality and not on microtransactions and season pass. Congratulations Larian Studios!

-
Aug 9, 2023Very immersive game! It’s great to finally have a game with zero immersion breaking micro transactions
-
Aug 10, 2023best rpg i played by far very fun story is deep music is good gameplay is perfect and a lot of respect to the source material.
-
Aug 10, 2023I'm still in Act 1 after playing round about 30 hours and that game gave me more joy than everything I've played so far.. Not a single second I felt like I'd wanna take a break or something. If my biological hollow would not keep me from doing so, I would play that game to the end in one session.. And then start over.
-
Aug 10, 2023Great game. The game has so many option its insane. This gonna be a victory landslide for GOTY.
-
Aug 10, 2023For me, best game since fixed, GOTY version Witcher 3. Would recommend for any fantasy genre fan.
-
Sep 11, 2023It blown me away. I am not a huge fan of turnbased based but this is different. All these details, twists, choiches you can make, the open early access for years. They were listeing to their community and and and. No microtransactions and over 200h of content. A complete game. It is insane- I love it.
This is my new standard -
Aug 10, 2023The new pinnacle of western role-playing. Every aspect of the role-playing game, every approach, every conversation sets new heights in its genre.
Apart from a revisable camera handling and a map approach that can certainly be improved, this game is a must-have experience for all lovers of the genre and beyond. -
Aug 10, 2023
-
Aug 10, 2023This is the best game this year so far. Good Old RPG brought back to life in a new and better form. Gameplay is easy and smooth not mentioning that it will grab you and suck you up for many hours before you notice the passing of time. NPc characters are well designed and have personality. This should be new standard for at least RPG games.

-
Aug 10, 2023Baldurs gate is an amazing RPG that embody's what and RPG should look like, amazing story, great combat and no microtransactions to break emersion
-
Aug 10, 2023Monument of the genre. I'm 75 hours and I guess I'm not even halfway done with my first playthrough. And yet I'm already looking forward to starting a new playthrough, to see what other choices might have led to
-
Aug 10, 2023Normalde bu türe pek alışık biri değilim ve oyun listemde yok. Ama
BALDUR'S GATE 3'in böylesine güzel bir tarz yaratması ve her açıdan güzel olduğu yetmezmiş gibi oyuna Türkçe dil desteği getirmesi beni çok mutlu etti. Teşekkürler Larian Studios -

Aug 10, 2023best game in my life by far just cant understand how ppl put 0 i mean yes i understand nintendo fans are a bit weirds and so need do review bombin cuz if their fab game isnt the best they just cry but really this game is the best byyyyyy farrrrr
-
Aug 10, 2023This Game deserves 10 points, it's a statement for what is possible. You find bugs, but you don't care if the game prove's to be excellent. You will enjoy the epic story and music, don't miss your chance.
-
Aug 10, 2023Good game. All the right changes since early access.
Please make an arpg, the Blizzard that was once loved by gamers is long gone. We need someone to come and take their place. Diablo 4 sucks and Larian could surely do far better based on it's track record. -
Aug 10, 2023The rating is first and foremost for the Negative reviews. They are too entertaining.
The 20+ hrs I spent in act 1 were amazing though so I expect it keep it up. I'm in a addiction and games that get me into addiction I rate a 10. Easy as that. -
Aug 10, 2023In a nutshell: phenomenal game that brings me back to the good old times of gaming

Aug 10, 2023Best game i’ve played in years. The story is amazing and all the different permutations makes me want me to play it multiple times to know al’ the possible outcomes. I wasn’t sure i’d like the turn base combat but was pleasantly surprised it’s super intricate and allows for so many different ways to approach each encounter!
10/10 -
Aug 10, 2023I just created account on metacritic for first time to rate this game. Love u Larian
-
Aug 10, 2023One of the best videogames alltime. Every aspect of the game is refreshing, surprising and breathtaking. Tons of hours of good fun and joy.
-
Aug 10, 2023A game to play for years with most possible content, brilliant game mechanics, endless dialogs and video content and wonderful stories.
-
Aug 10, 2023I'm a huge fan of CRPGs and this is the greatest I've ever played. A true labor of love from Devs that care. No microtransactions, no broken or missing features.
-
Aug 10, 2023Excellent Character creation. The characters are so pretty. Combat on tactician is super challenging. Combat choices are endless. You can interact with the environment for Combat as well. There are endless quests. This is a true rpg that I've been waiting on. The music is amazing. Interaction with npcs is top notch. There is so much world building and lore. I love this game so much.
-
Aug 10, 2023Imersive CRPG with 0 microtrans, a full game that we will be talking about in 10 or 20 years to come, might be the game of a decade.
-
Aug 10, 2023Excellent work. A masterpiece! You can feel how much love the developers put into the game. I love getting lost in this world. The world design, the different characters and the countless dialogues are amazing. A clear recommendation!
-
Aug 10, 2023I played 200 hours in early access but it's merely the beginning of the mind-blowing full game! Larian just rolled a natural 20 in cRPG history. A crown is deserved!
-
Aug 10, 2023It's honestly the best RPG i've seen, the creativity behind every quest, every decision you can make, all the dialogue, the story who can shift on a detail. Everything is great. Combat is honestly a real accurate DnD representation, i love it !
-
Aug 10, 2023A masterpiece. There are some things that are perhaps not as up to snuff as I'd like (camera handling mainly) but those are vastly outpaced by the rest of the game. Fun combat system, good graphics, beautiful storytelling in a world where the choices and decisions you make matter and change the rest of the world as you have come to know it.
-
Aug 10, 2023Just finished the game, and it was a fantastic journey. The choices I made had consequences, and things did not go the way I was hoping, it felt real. Fantastic storytelling, creative and engaging combat encounters that make you think outside the box, and the core game feels rewarding. The cherry on top being that there are no micro-transactions and the game feels complete. 10/10
-
Aug 10, 2023Being realistic, yes the game has some awkward animations during dialogs, but it's such a minimal thing that it doesn't matter, the music, story, environment, characters, combat, it's just too good. Also of course being a complete game without micro transactions is an instant 10/10 in my book.
F u Blzrd :) -
Aug 10, 2023Life is good, God is good, I’m happy, and thats all, thank you Larian Studios
-
Aug 10, 2023Absolutely one of the best games I've played. You'll probably find the occasional bug here and there. But the overall stories you explore, the characters, the combat, everything is just very polished and well-designed. This game sets a new bar for RPGs. Play it with friends. You won't regret buying this.

Aug 10, 2023Game is simply phenomenal. I remember playing the first 2 games, then ice wind Dale. This game is just such a joy to those who are fans of the series. From the start I was wished back to taking my first few steps in the first game. The new implementations of new features works pretty well. I suggest trying it out even if you are not a fan of the original I would give it a shot.

Awards & Rankings

Mar 25, 2024With 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.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 22, 2024Larian 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]
-
Dec 7, 2023Baldur’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.
