    Amazing game with so much depth. This is what gamers should expect from companies these days. Everyone else has been calling it in. BG3 proves it.

    When I look at the reviews with 0 you can bet that they are "Xbox fans" (with Starfield ratings at 10, or "Nintendo fans" (with TOTK at 10), or "it was better before" (just people who think BG1/2 was better, or it's DOS3 not BG3, etc.)

    I can't begin to explain how much I love this game, the graphics are amazing and it runs as smooth as ever. I've heard it runs at PC ultra settings and you can definitely tell. I spent 2 hours in the character maker because it's so in depth and amazing. Everything you could ever want.

    Amazing game! ALL negative reviews are disgusting Starfield and Zelda fanboys who don't even own BG3, trying their hardest to review-bomb the clear GOTY, so their games can stand a chance. Ignore them, they are toxic sore losers.

    BG3 is actually the perfect RPG game. Has had me hooked ever since release and I’ve seriously been nonstop playing. Amazing storytelling, lovable characters and the strategic gameplay is so fun. 10/10 would recommend.

    Absolutely beautiful game. This is the type of game I’ve been waiting for. They amount of choices and decisions you can make is actually insane. This game definitely should win Goty if I’m being honest or Zelda.

    So after giving this "game" a real chance for 55 hours it seems like a cutscene gauntlet that is only able to keep most players invested by using awkwardly animated sex scenes as the cheese for degenerates.

It seems like the devs had a golden idea not in pure game design but how to catch the attention of people who never interact with real people. Seems kind of a cheap way to try and blow up in popularity. People will say they just don't engage with it but everyone knows they're lying. It's such a shame that this is being considered as game of the year by mostly porn addicts. Something like this should be rated AO and not be allowed to be streamed on Twitch since there might be children watching. I honestly think you need psychiatric help if you're in denial that this game is not a cheap way at gaining an audience through promoting deviance. On top of all that the performance is horrid.… Expand

    An amazing game. I have spent countless hours since launch exploring and engaging in visceral turn based combat. The story is fantastic and the characters are brilliantly written with tons of depth. The voice acting is phenomenal too! This game is truly a masterpiece.

Every once in a while any medium whether it be gaming, movies books or comics, a true masterpieces comes to set new standards. Highly recommend it anyone looking to get lost in an immersive story driven experience.

    Dos2 was much better than this crap, it's so annoying on ps5, inventory management is a joke. So many things is wrong with this game I don't want to even start, boring story most important, overhyped game, and I loved BG 1 and worship bg2.

There isn't much left to be desired and the patches for minor bugs are coming in frequently. Any person rating this less than a 10 has either lost mind from skull, or they're shamelessly doing so because an "exclusive overhyped". space "thriller" failed miserably to deliver.… Expand

    The game itself is what I expected gameplay wise But the really poor framerate and choppy way it plays isn't making me want to continue playing. Maybe if they patch it and fast I'll up my score and continue. Feels like a rushed port.

    I'm not sure why some people are review bombing this game? Some of them I checked were angry Starfield fans (also a good game that I'm currently playing), some are Nintendo fans, some just seem to be... unbalanced people.

    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]
