    Game is stunning to look at on the PS5 and I haven’t encountered any performance related issues. I’m new to the whole genre and Baldurs gate franchise, purchased due to all the hype around it.

    A great RPG with a big scope, however, performance is poor and the game struggles to chug along once hitting ACT 2. reviews claimed this to be the "most polished game" its far from it if you enjoy CRPGs youll enjoy this, but keep in mind, the performance is subpar and takes you out of the immersion

    Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment in this beloved RPG series, is a mixed bag for me. The biggest point of contention lies in its shift to turn-based combat. While some players appreciate the added strategic depth this change brings, I miss the fast-paced real-time battles of previous titles.

Nonetheless, the game shines in its rich storytelling and character development, offering an immersive world that captures the essence of the Forgotten Realms. Visually, it impresses with detailed environments and character models. In sum, Baldur's Gate 3 delivers a compelling experience, but the shift in combat style may leave players divided based on their personal preferences.… Expand

    Terrible game , its almost unplayable, with less than 20 fps makes it worst game on ps5! Act 3 is a bad work of optimization.

    I give this rating because I have been playing it since early access (45 hours or more) and I lost my save due to data corruption, baldur gate 3 remains a good game despite the fact that I lost a lot of hours and now I'm starting from scratch with a new character, the story is good and simple for the moment (act1) it's just an RPG like any other nothing unique for now,it looks more likeI give this rating because I have been playing it since early access (45 hours or more) and I lost my save due to data corruption, baldur gate 3 remains a good game despite the fact that I lost a lot of hours and now I'm starting from scratch with a new character, the story is good and simple for the moment (act1) it's just an RPG like any other nothing unique for now,it looks more like dragon age but better with dice oh yeah bard is the best class and really fun to play.… Expand

    Es un juego simplemente imposible de jugar en ps5, el control presenta muchos fallos a la hora de jugar, los sus lo hacen simplemente desesperante de jugar. Recomiendo la versión pc. O puede esperar que hagan parches para corregir los spf. No lo recomiendo en versión consola

    Ta gra jest świetna, jedna z najlepszych produkcji ostatnich lat! Jest nie liniowa i zachwyca detalami. Posiada też oczywiście kilka minusów:
    -Sterowanie kontrolerem -Polski dubbing, gra jest tylko po Angielsku -Wysoki próg wejścia dla nowych graczy -Drobne błędy

    Indubbiamente molte cose funzionano egregiamente, ma è troppo di nicchia. Se non ti piace il genere, a meno che tu non ti faccia trascinare dall'entusiasmo degli youtuber, non ti piacerà nemmeno questo. Combattimenti a turni per me noiosi, game play classico di movimentazione personaggi a gregge. Non fa per me. Detto questo, nel genere, ben fatto. Ma nulla più.

    Just.... Wow. My son, my girlfriend and I are obsessed. My daughter loves to watch and hear. It's really game changing. I loved the idea of D&D but haven't had the luxury to play.

I want more, but also there's already so, so much! It's addicting for sure. Thank you Larian, for sharing this absolute gem with the world.… Expand

    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 3 is an outstanding achievement in game design, character-based storytelling, and player choice. So, if you've been hesitating to play it like I have then don't be a goof and check it out already; you almost certainly won't regret it.

    It is abundantly clear why this massive adventure took six years to develop from every lovingly sharpened plot hook, every subtle quirk of a party member’s lips, and every new arrangement of that gorgeous, central musical motif. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a glorious lightning strike, pairing talent with timing for not just a worthy successor to the series’ crown, but something truly special in its own right. We’ve no doubt we’ll head back down, down, down by the river to adventure anew for years to come. [Issue#33, p.68]
