Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews

I'm 3 years late to playing this game, and after finally diving in... I get it. I completely understand why this game won so many awards and why people still talk about it. I went in expecting a good RPG, but I wasn't expecting to get so invested in the world, the characters, and the sheer amount of freedom the game gives you. It feels like every decision matters, and even small choices can lead to completely unexpected outcomes. Instead of forcing you down one path, the game constantly rewards creativity, whether you're solving problems through combat, persuasion, stealth, or just doing something completely ridiculous. The companions are one of the biggest highlights. They all have distinct personalities, believable motivations, and some of the best character development I've seen in a game. I found myself looking forward to every conversation at camp just to see how relationships evolved and what new stories would unfold. Visually, the game still looks fantastic, and the voice acting and soundtrack do an amazing job of bringing the world to life. There are moments that are hilarious, heartbreaking, tense, and genuinely surprising, all within the same play session. The craziest part is how reactive everything feels. NPCs remember your actions, quests can play out in countless ways. It's one of those rare games that completely lives up to the hype. If you've somehow been putting it off like I did, consider this your sign to finally play it. It absolutely deserves its reputation, and I'm already thinking about several playthrough to see how differently everything can unfold.

One of the best stories i've ever had the honor of playing, not to go into spoilers, i've finished the game with the "best" ending and it just left me empty and craving for more, but also happy knowing i've accomplished this grand adventure. Thank you Larian for a great game that will be etched in my memory for the years to come.

I have never been a big fan of turn-based games at all, but oh boy, was I proven wrong. This game scratched an itch I didn't even know I had, and it delivered so freaking well. I'm left craving new playthroughs, new possibilities, mods, and everything in between. It has truly earned a place among my all-time favorite games. A masterpiece!

Great game. I can definitely see why it's getting so much praise. I'm only at the beginning of Act 2, and I can already tell this game has a huge amount of replayability. The combat can be pretty frustrating until you reach level 5, even on the lowest difficulty. Also, don't obsess over making the "right" choices—just do what feels best to you. That's the best way to enjoy the game. Highly recommended for anyone who loves RPGs. If you're playing on low-end hardware, try using Vulkan instead. It noticeably improves performance. One additional note: avoid Rule34. I genuinely can't believe I got a major spoiler from it.

Great game. Played it with three friends. One of us got insta-killed by a trap, the other captured and thrown in jail, and our balding warlock hexed our final party member. All of this happened in the first hour of the game.

I have put way too many hours into this game. After unlocking every achievement and completing my 7th playthrough, I think it's finally time to say goodbye. I highly recommend it to any RPG fan—it is incredible. Hope I never play it again though. 10/10.

Very good game. The story is good, the gameplay is too, and you get extreme freedom in your approach to pretty much everything. For example, I made a pact with a devil to obtain a powerful weapon meant to be used against the final boss. But since I had no intention of honoring the pact, I opened a portal to the devil's hellish manor, stole the contract, looted his private version of a British colonial museum, took out his pleasure slave, and freed his most important prisoner. When the devil tried to intercept me at the portal, I threw a backpack with four nuclear explosives (which I had stolen from a terrorist organization of gnomes) right in his face, blowing him and his minions to pieces. Definitely a highly recommendable game with massive potential for multiple playthroughs due to the nearly unlimited possible playstyles."

Play as paladin. Choose [Lie] in dialog. Game crashes. Immersive oathbreaking experience.

I have too many hours in this game. This has been my favioute game for several years now. I even finished honour mode. It is high time I left a review. Absolute cinema - everything out of 10. Perfection.
