    Como um fã de rpg Baldur's gate 3 é uma experiência fascinante, o mundo a sua volta é incrível assim como os personagens com diálogos muito bem trabalhados que se encaixam em um enredo épico
    A jogabilidade e progressão fazem o jogo ser viciante, o visual incrível faz você entrar nesse mundo de fantasia e não querer sair mais
    Gostei muito

    What to say here that have not been said elsewhere. Game is a masterpiece on how to make a rpg. This should be the blueprint on how to approach and make video games. Great gameplay, story and world that sucks you in and never let go.

    One of the best games to come out in recent history, its a bit on the slow side and there's a bit to learn if you aren't into D&D but thankfully Youtube is helping with that, cross save from steam to PS5 works like a charm and the co-op is amazing while its a struggle when your time poor its a game that you can leave for a hit and come back to

Eu coloquei na dificuldade mais fácil pois tinha medo das mecânicas e tô conseguindo jogar muito bem. Ainda há bastante desafio. Mas é totalmente possível jogar. Já tenho 20 horas e todo surpreende. Acombate delicioso. Depois que você entende que há movimentos com custo de magia, movimento que você sempre pode fazer sem custo e que são 2 ações. Uma ação e um truque as ideias começam a vir e o jogo vai virando. Vai fluindo. Realmente é muito bom. Infelizmente há queda de fps na exploração. Mas nada que me deixasse com dor de cabeça nem algo que me irritasse como já aconteceu com outros jogos. É um jogo MUITO imersivo. Ritmo de um ótimo livro que vai se desenrolando tranquilamente. Muito gostoso e interessante. Realmente recomendo e nunca havia jogado um jogo assim. Bem diferente de final fantasy, persona, the witcher. Talvez the Witcher seja o que levemente mais pareça. Eu gosto de fire emblem e tem algo levemente semelhante. Então seria uma mistura entre um the witcher 3 com fire emblem nas minhas referências. Universo incrível. O jogo flui. Você senta pra jogar e as coisas se desenvolvem e te envolvem. Muito bom. Já tinha experiências altas e só tinha medo da complexidade. Mas não precisa ter esse medo. Realmente o jogo consegue desenrolar mesmo que te assuste um pouco no início. Mesmo com os leves probleminhas de performance pontuais, para mim, é nota 10. Expand

    The way they worked out the controller to work for something like this is really incredible, and preferable to mouse in keyboard imho. Game of the year by quite a margin in my book. The level of detail the designers put into this game is phenomenal. No, you might not like it if all you play are ARPGs. You will love it if you played any CRPGs in your history, game board or computer type.

    Content is great, but ergonomy and loading times are sometimes abysmal. The design of the game itself forces you to constantly reload and save like crazy, resulting in fustrating trial and error with long loading times.

    One of the best games ever made. It's as good as Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape Torment. A masterpiece.

    This game is such a joy to play. Great gameplay, great story, amazing world and great characters. After Divinity Original Sin II, this is definitely my favorite game from Larian Studios. Lived it.

    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.

    Bu türde oynadığım ilk oyun olmasına rağmen son ana kadar beni içinde tutmayı başardı.
    Hikayede hep bir sonraki adımı merak ettim.
    Oyundaki jest ve mimikler çok kaliteli olduğu için ana karakterime aşırı bağlandım.
    Diğer karakterler de bir şekilde kendini umursatıyor.
    Bu benim oynadığım en iyi oyunlardan birisi ve türe aşina olur olmaz tekrar oynayacağım.

    Best game of 2023. It gives complete freedom unlike Starfield which is very boring and empty. Every nook and crany in Baldur's Gate 3 is full of stuff. There are different ways to tackle a fight, a scenario or a quest. This is a must try game.

    I got this on Mac and PS5 just to support Larian. 10 is too little. This needs to have 11.
    We need more games like Baldur's Gate 3. Yes, i'm a D&D fanboy, and this is true treat for me. I could get a Karlach tattoo on my back.

    We play with wife on PS5 via split screen. Now we have a lot of new topics to talk together. And we wait for the end of the working day to quickly come home and start playing! The game is very diverse, interesting and beautiful! And we just want to say - many thanks to the developers! This is one of the best games we have ever played!

    Impressive how rhis master piece can be played with controller so comfy and smooth.
    Is a must play, game works really fine the only bug i found is with the sound but disabling 3d sound in ps5 configurarion fix it, Larian is working on in and improving the game even more.

    Made for a PC. The controls are best with mouse and keyboard. Inventory management is a chore. Very similar to Original Sin 2, with a pseudo-Dnd rules (not 5th - more like Pathfinder 2 action economy). Combat is sloooo2 and prone to exploits that haven't been patched. Good cinematics and story, but just watch a Netflix show.

My actual score would be a 9.8 if I could make a more customizable score. With the .2 of a point being knocked off for things like the somewhat annoying inventory systems, an example being you can't access inactive companions' inventories leading to clunky management to sort inventories. Also there are some annoyances with the camera and NPCs (generally being friendly NPCs) choosing the dumbest/useless choices/moves in combat. Other than those few things though the game is the closest to a perfect game in years, from the voice acting and characters, to the choices and consequences, and the music is amazing as well, and despite all the variables in scenes the music generally fits perfectly and improves the scenes. The options in both combat and exploration are massive and your class or classes add even more. As this review is for the PS5 version I should mention the controller controls, despite importing my level 12 character finding all my spells and abilities was pretty easy to do (and in some ways even better/easier than with the Keyboard and Mouse controls) and the framerate, other than the actual city of Baldur's Gate, was mostly good/steady, and to get an nearly stable framerate you could use the 30FPS mode as well.

    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]
