You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay, and more than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together.

    Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.

    Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Adventure, loot, battle and romance as you journey through the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Play alone, and select your companions carefully, or as a party of up to four in multiplayer.

    From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Gather your party, and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is the masterpiece every RPG fan has been hoping for and so much more. The playful freedom, the great characters, the first-class narrative, the satisfying combat system are unparalleled and merge in perfect harmony to create a real work of art.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is a genuine all-timer, this really is as good as RPGs get, and it's an all-timer that's arrived on Series X in fine form aside from a pesky issue with deleted saves. Returning to Baldur's Gate and successfully serving up the best entry in the series to date must have been an absolutely monumental task, but Larian Studios has managed it with style to spare. With top class combat, writing, acting and world-building hiding all of the terrifying intricacies of a refreshed D&D rulebook, letting us players just get on with the fun stuff, there really is no finer adventure to take in 2023. What an absolute belter, and a perfect way to wrap up this most problematic of years in the industry.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is one of those unicorn games you encounter very rarely. It's well made, rich in content, and welcoming to gamers of all levels. Even if you've never heard of Baldur's Gate or dabbled in Dungeons and Dragons, there's at least one part of the game that will intrigue you. The narrative is expertly structured, combat is innovative and promotes ingenuity, and you can seamlessly enjoy your adventure alone or with friends. A game with this much freedom and content is going to entertain you for hours (literally I've played 50 hours of this game and I'm just scratching the surface). As I said before this game earned its Game of the Year award and Larian Studios should give themselves a big round of applause.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 really is a triumph of game design, and a masterclass in how to give control to the player, without making it feel like they are heading down a predetermined path regardless of their choices. It’s one of those rare times where you should really believe the hype, because it's flipping awesome.

A few bugs aside, it's as close to perfection as we've seen in quite some time. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a truly outstanding video game.
