“I should've written this a long time ago, but oh, well. I do really think that this game deserved some of its praise back in the day (mostly 'cause of lack of competition, honestly), but finishing it left such a…”
“This game is a must play of the era. Such a gem in the sea that is multiplayer games. This game made me think things through for days, as I learned the mechanics and gear that would work best with my characters. I was…”
“I don't know if there's necessarily a lot to say about BG3 at this point. It's a game of staggering scope and branching outcomes that makes D&D 5E easy and accessible; the writing mostly holds up though some characters…”

“This is the best videogame of all time (IMHO). The story is rich and flushed out. Adventure to be had no matter your choices. Endless replay ability. Truly haven't scratched the surface until you've beaten it about 4…”
“This game is proof that players will overlook any amount of garbage gameplay if the story is good. Proponents will say "you can do anything!" What they actually mean is "you have to do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything". Here's the…”

“My first genre of this game and it so good, enjoyed every part of it Act 3 could be standalone game with that amount of content”

“I loved this game because I beat it with my boyfriend, and he did most of the work. I was just chilling as a little gnome ranger, talking to animals.”
“120 hours in and I still have not finished Act 1, but I already recommend this game to all my friends and even started multiple co-op run with them as it won Game of the Year. At first, the turn-based combat did not…”
“Going in completely blind to both D&D and CRPGs, I did not expect this game to consume my life. It did. I picked up BG3 to play co-op with a friend and neither of us really knew what we were getting into. A few hours…”

“I started playing this game with the expectation that it'd be like Divinity Original Sin 2 with a better story and more relatable characters that are strongly supported by cutscenes. And I got what I wanted in the end,…”
“I don’t adjust to video game “change” very well, and as someone who pretty much exclusively plays third-person action games on my PlayStation and who didn’t know much about DND, the idea of a lore-heavy DND game where…”
“I bought this game on release almost 3 years ago, but could never get into it. The DnD ruleset didnt make sense to me and the combat seemed incredibly hard. It took quite some effort to learn the systems, but it was…”

“Awesome game, my only complaint is that there are still some bugs with inventory (tooltips). Really appreciate the awesome controller support added in though.”
“As long i play until end, this game is master piece Turn Base RPG, rich story and very strong every character, but still have some BUG, i hope next game is be better.”
“Very recommended, but in the steam deck it crashes very often. But, the game is amazing, one of the best games of all time and the best for me personally.”

“Baldur’s Gate 3 understands people better than most RPGs do. It understands that people are complicated. They carry pride, shame, fear, desire, hope, resentment. They want love, freedom, power, revenge, forgiveness, sometimes all at once. That is why the companions feel real.…”

While it is undeniably a masterpiece for veteran "dice-rollers," the true magic of the game lies in how effortlessly it welcomes total…”
