Resist, and turn darkness againstGather your party, and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil. From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.

    GATHER YOUR PARTY
    Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Adventure, loot, battle and romance as you journey through the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Play alone, and select your companions carefully, or as a party of up to four in multiplayer.I

    An expansive original story
    Abducted, infected, lost. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay, and more than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together.

    NEXT GENERATION RPG
    Forged with the new Divinity 4.0 engine, Baldur's Gate 3 gives you unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that reacts to your choices. A grand, cinematic narrative brings you closer to your characters than ever before, as you venture through our biggest world yet.

    No adventure will be the same
    The Forgotten Realms are a vast, detailed and diverse world, and there are secrets to be discovered all around you -- verticality is a vital part of exploration. Sneak, dip, shove, climb, and jump as you journey from the depths of the Underdark to the glittering rooftops of the Upper City. How you survive, and the mark you leave on the world, is up to you.

    Features:

    * Online multiplayer for up to four players allows you to combine your forces in combat, and split your party to follow your own quests and agendas. Concoct the perfect plan together or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it.

    * Origin Characters offer a hand-crafted experience, each with their own unique traits, agenda, and outlook on the world. Their stories intersect with the entire narrative, and your choices will determine whether those stories end in redemption, salvation, domination, or many other outcomes.
    * Evolved turn-based combat, based on the D&D 5e ruleset. Team-based initiative, advantage & disadvantage, and roll modifiers join combat cameras, expanded environmental interactions, and a new fluidity in combat that rewards strategy and foresight.
    * Define the future of the Forgotten Realms through your choices, and the roll of the dice. No matter who you play, or what you roll, the world and its inhabitants will react to your story.

    * Player-initiated turn-based mode allows you to pause the world around you at any time even outside of combat. Whether you see an opportunity for a tactical advantage before combat begins, want to pull off a heist with pin-point precision, or need to escape a fiendish trap. Split your party, prepare ambushes, sneak in the darkness -- create your own luck!    … Expand

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is nothing short of a gaming phenomenon, the kind of video game sensation that surfaces only once in a blue moon. The transition to the PlayStation 5 platform not only feels natural, but remarkably seamless. In their ingenuity, Larian Studios has guaranteed that you can simply pick up a controller and effortlessly traverse the vast realms of Dungeons and Dragons. Every button and option that once thrived exclusively in the realm of mouse and keyboard has been artfully translated to the controller, rendering BG3 a paragon of accessibility. Beyond the satisfaction of gameplay, the visual spectacle on display is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The user interface boasts vibrant icons that lend clarity to every on-screen element, ensuring that all options are discernible. In sum, Baldur’s Gate 3 is an absolute essential for any PlayStation 5 gamer.

    The journey for Larian Studios was a long one, and it's safe to say that Baldur's Gate 3 is truly worthy of all the praise it has received to this point.

    Baldur's Gate III scratches the D&D itch with near perfect precision. It'll have you coming back for more every time!

    Fans of cRPG couldn't have hoped for a better sequel of one of the most revered franchises in the history of this genre. Larian Studios should be proud for setting new standards, creating a highly ambitious reactive world filled to the brim with quality content, accompanied by a deep combat system and excellent writing.

    PS5 receives a superb port of Baldur's Gate 3, which has not sacrificed any content and technical cuts are negligible, unless you've played it before on a high-end PC. Maybe, the major complaint is that you can only play it with the controller, as mouse and keyboard support has been removed on PS5, as opposed to other games' ports.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an impressive feat, making a DnD game accessible to the masses, while keeping the core, mechanics and variety of the rulebook intact. The freedom of choice is enormous, as are the consequences. The translation to consoles isn't entirely perfect and some minor grievances and bugs have transitioned or are even introduced, but all in all, this is the best Dungeons & Dragons game in existence.

    Baldur's Gate III is a turn-based CRPG with an absolutely fantastic story and a lovingly crafted game world. For me, it is one of the bestBaldur's Gate III is a turn-based CRPG with an absolutely fantastic story and a lovingly crafted game world. For me, it is one of the best games of all time because it gives me every freedom to shape the story in my own direction. However, this may be considered a "risk" by some players. You are not taken by the hand like in Ubisoft games, but have to work out your own adventure (which i LOVE in a rpg). This happens through discovery, conversations with NPCs and a few (but not too many) fixed main story points. If you do this, then you are rewarded with a really immersive RPG experience.

    Furthermore, I find the quality of the game convincing across all three acts. Content-wise, I even like the third act the best, as it has some incredibly epic quest lines that put just about any other RPG to shame. From time to time, however, there are still minor performance bugs in this Act. Nothing too bad though, give it a try.

    As a conclusion, if you fancy an incredible role-playing experience, this is your game. 10/10 :)

    The following tips:

    - talk to almost all NPCs

    - save frequently

    - don't forget the Speak with animals and Speak to dead spells, as they give you access to some of the best content.

    - When fighting, remember that not only damage is important, but also the number of moves your player and opponent make and penalty and attack rolls. Therefore, frequently use support spells and potions. There are some great Youtube-videos that may help you out!

    I am glad, that finally a game is worth it again in 2023.    … Expand
