    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...

    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.

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. 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

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.

In this review, I want to focus on the PS5 version, which is a fantastic port of the game. However, I must mention that for newcomers to the Dungeon & Dragon genre, the game can be quite challenging. It may take some time to grasp the intricacies of the combat system and understand how key decisions are determined by dice rolls. If you're new to D&D, I would recommend choosing a class that is less complex to make your initial experience more enjoyable.

    One of the remarkable features of Baldur’s Gate 3 is the two different ways you can play it: point and click or free roam. Personally, I highly recommend the point and click option as it allows you to swiftly explore the map and locate the characters' desired destinations. Nevertheless, both methods offer a great gameplay experience.

    The characters in this game are truly fascinating and bring the game's story world to life. The art direction in Baldur’s Gate 3 is exceptional, with each area having its own unique story and purpose, contributing to the overall journey of the characters. Prepare yourself for numerous favors to complete for other characters and difficult decisions to make. From my perspective, this has been one of the most memorable gaming experiences since Elden Ring. Without a doubt, Baldur’s Gate 3 deserves the title of game of the year. Once you embark on your journey, you'll quickly become fully engrossed in it. The writers have done an incredible job of captivating us right from the beginning with their engaging dialogue. In fact, whoever wrote the dialogue deserves a trophy for their exceptional work. The game offers a plethora of funny, emotional, and dark moments that will keep you entertained throughout. I highly recommend this game to everyone, regardless of whether you're a fan of RPG or D&D. It's an experience that everyone should have the pleasure of enjoying.

    As someone who’s played this game on PC and then my PS5 through cross save, I can honestly say that those who gave this game a rating of zeros and 1’s because of Act 3 is unfounded and are lying.

Besides minor fps issues, Act 3 plays just fine as I rummaged through Baldur’s Gate in quality mode and knowing Larian Studios will remedy the situation on later patches.

    But enough of that, this game is the best RPG hands down ever created (game of the year) and must be emulated by other studios especially since they aren’t even a AAA developer. I’ve put in hundreds of hours in the game and each new playthrough can be played differently depending on your class, stats and moral alignment resulting on multiple endings. This is a game that you can definitely play for years to come either solo, couch co-op or online multiplayer.

    Don’t believe on naysayers as they are either review bombing the game in support of other developers who doesn’t want to craft a masterpiece game and or liars with nothing better to do. This is easily a 95/100.

    I love it when RPGs give you complete agency over everything, and it seems to have no limitations on what you can or can't do, the dialogue options are fun, the characters are interesting to talk to with their own motives and ambitions, the setting is fun. This game has very few weaknesses.

    The only downside one might see is turn-based combat, but I honestly think it was done pretty well here. The sheer number of skills and perks you get for characters allows you tons of ways to make the combat fun. It's even to a point where you can give your characters the ability to attack multiple times per turn and decimate enemy camps with high dps. The RPG aspects is what initially got me playing this game but the combat is so much fun that I can't put the game down.

    The game also gives you tons of game options to customize the game to make things even more difficult if you want it to be. I really like the karmic dice option which allows you to go classic DND ruleset using the dice more often which can make combat and dialogues even more complex than it is.

    The sheer amount of ways to have fun and keep you engaged and coming back to this game is why I think Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece.

    Groundbreaking games introduce new players to a genre or subgenre they normally wouldn't consider, BG3 is exactly that. I'm by no means a fan of D&D or really any tabletop game but this was so compelling it's been impossible to put down.

    Some minor technical issues.

    Thoughts-
    Minor issues aside, it’s hard not to be blown away by the scope of Baldur’s Gate 3’s achievements. For player freedom, for DnD simulation, for choice-based storytelling, for writing, and for a multitude of other things, it’s very much become the new gold standard. I’ve been enraptured by every single minute I’ve spent in the densely packed world of Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m going to be spending many, many more hours here before I’ve had my fill.

    The game does not disappoint. Plays amazing on PS5 and the UI for actions being all radial menus frees up screen space to see more of the world. GOTY.

    I got this on PC and PS5. It is an amazing game.

    I've never been a fan of turn-based games or DnD. But this game has choices that matter, great dialog, really meaningful actions and outcomes. It also has emotion.

    And you can play it a variety of ways. The devs also listen to fans and fix bugs.

    There have been some minor issues but the patch fixes are quick and show dedication to deliver a great product.

    The music and graphics are great.

    Played this on PC first. PS5 version is second for better co-op experience, from the standpoint that my family is remote and they don't have all PC's. LOVE this game.

I do wish we could use a mouse/keyboard on the PS5 though, as it does help manage the overwhelming amount of things you can do more efficiently than a controller. On the flip side, they have done some amazing things with the controller implementation. Looking forward to cross-play as well. Overall, this is the best DnD game EVER MADE, and I've been around for 5 decades of gaming going back to the old Pong across many platforms. Larian has done an exceptional job and they deserve all the praise they get for their hard work and their continued efforts in bringing out the best of the game. Expand

The performance is flush and steady, the characters & environments are vibrant, & the story is engaging as you can almost do anything that you want in any situation thrown at you.

    Side note: apparently Larian has patched how “horny” your companions are because they were not supposed to be so engaging originally.

    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

    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]
