    Currently playing this with my girlfriend on split screen, and we are loving it.
    Who would of tought girls could be so cut throat, she made hard decisions on the fly, that would of take me some minutes to think over.... some of her gaming style choices still keep me up at night...


    Yeah just buy it!

    Отличная игра. 9 за не удобный интерфейс. Например вызов меню по R2 может вызвать, а может нет.
    В меню инвентаря не показывает одновременно текущую и максимальную загрузку.

    The Goat, I have played games since 1990, and this is my first comment on games, I give 10 of 10 for baldur's gate 3, massive stories and choices and open ending drive me exciting and unforgettable, 2023 is an amazing year in game history, Zelda has already made a great job but compared with BG3, I prefer giving a little bit higher rating to BG3.

    Hands down best RPG you could play. I bought it both on PC and on PS5. The mechanics work almost flawlessly on controller it has some slight jack, but it hasn't taken away from my immersive experience. Role-Playing just about any character you could want has never been easier than with this game at least in my personal experience.

Role-Playing just about any character you could want has never been easier than with this game at least in my personal experience. For my PS5 playthrough I decided to play as a half elf bard and conman. It's been quite the fun experience bringing this character to life and tackling situations as he would have in my mind. The story and characters are extremely compelling and the maps are massive. Reactivity is at an all time high. Combat is some of the best I've played and this is coming from someone who usually hates turn based Combat. This system won me over though for building my party effectively paying attention to the environment, and strategizing on using it with my abilities to the fullest. It feels like a loving breathing world and it's refreshing to have a game where I'm not special I'm just a dude with a worm in my head with other people with the same issue. Here's to many more adventures in Faerûn. Huzzah!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A PERFECT 10! I've played it entirely on PC and I'm now doing a second playthrough on PS5. 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

    Absolutely amazing game. I literally can't put it down. Graphics are good. Story is gripping. Also the voice acting is probably the best I've seen in a RPG. Probably the most immersive RPG I've played.

    One of the best Rpgs I have ever played and easily one of my all time favorite games. The amount of care and passion that went into Baldurs Gate 3 is simply astounding. Even if you are usually not a big fan of turns-bases combat, I would highly recommend to check out Baldurs Gate 3 regardless. This game is a masterpiece!

    Baldurs Gate 3 delivers, from it's unique story, likeable characters, and extensive character creation. The story is so in depth that you end up losing track of time and just want to keep playing.

    For someone that does not really enjoy Turn Based Combat, I was surprised. This game is so enjoyable, everything and everyone has a personality, new stuff and new event always happens they are never any dull moments in this game. I highly recommend for any one to play this even if they isn’t your cup of tea.

Sure Baldur's Gate 3 or D&D may not be everyone's cup of tea but for me who actually never plays CRPGs like Pathfinder or Divinity Original Sin, this game has made me a new fan of the genre. Everything that I wanted in a rpg is packed in Baldur's Gate 3..story, written with absolute love. Each choices is has a meaning and impacts the story as well. From the start it took me literally 1 hour in character creation to read each class and spells and make my character to how I want to roleplay. Characters are heavily voiced acted and my word npcs have voices and most all have unique things to say. Never thought a game like this would have me stay up late especially work days. I called out 3 days straight because this game has hooked me since early access for PS5. The music is absolutely a Grammy winner here, even the creation customization has epic and smooth music it never re-loops. The imagination runs wild on this game..I blocked the door way with chests when you face the first boss in the prologue so the boss doesn't bring his minions the boss was easy and stole the boss's weapon and take it for my own.

    It does have technical issues yes but they are minor and easily can be patch out. My score is a 10! A Masterpiece that defines to what an rpg should be.    … Expand

    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]
