Larian Studios, the creators of the latest installment, have gone to great lengths to make sure they didn't disgrace any of the franchise's building blocks. The love and care is evident in Baldur's Gate 3, though needless to pretend, there aren't a few bricks crumbling here and there in this monument. It's far from a perfect title, but on the whole Baldur's Gate 3 is a brilliant computer RPG that is undoubtedly not to be overlooked. [Issue#329]
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece. Games like this don’t come along often, experiences that capture the zeitgeist so profoundly as to provoke scurrilous rumours that Larian Studios would come under legal action for making a game considered too good. From narrative to level design, combat to quests, character creation to romance, everything is fine-tuned to provide a gripping experience that provokes wonder and joy.

One of those must play games if you own a pc, to begin the world is very immersive with tons of secrets, optional fights, and hidden area everywhere, and the story and lore is really well built in a way that makes you feel like you’re really there exploring the world with your party mates. Next the character are really fun with all of them having their own unique story, personality, and party experience. I was really fond of Shadowheart, she was a great character for the party and for her story, without getting into spoilers, the resolution to her story was very satisfying, the only character I wish they used more was Wyll. Wyll is heroic, but almost to a fault, he lacks some of the struggle the others do, but don’t get me wrong he was still interesting enough for him to be in my party for at least 60% of my time played. And for me the best thing about the game is the customization, not only do you get that classic DnD class building, you also get a solid selection of character appearance customization, with my only gripe being the lack of a face customization, with both genders only having a hand full of options. Now for the cons, the music while being well made, isn’t anything I would remember to well, there are a few catchy themes, the others are just ok. Optimization for pc is also just ok, if you don’t have a good computer it’s going to be tough to run, just because of all the things they have to load all at once, they also have nicely detailed models that can make the game struggle at some point, while I didn’t run into any crashes, my computer was for sure getting a run for its money. Overall this game is a real masterpiece, if you have a good computer I would 1000% recommend this game

Baldur’s Gate 3 is exactly what we’ve been missing and the best game of 2023 so far.
Baldur's Gate 3 is the most successful and authentic take on D&D in the tabletop franchise's 50-year history. Its complexity and size might be daunting for novices, but the breadth and depth of Baldur's Gate 3's world make this a once-in-a-generation achievement.
We praised Larian a lot for Divinity: Original Sin 2, but Baldur's Gate 3 is without a doubt their masterpiece. It's an experience that deserves its name in every sense and trilogizes the Baldur's Gate saga in a spectacular way. If it makes up for its shortcomings with an Enhanced Edition, we can easily call it one of the best games of the 2000s.
Baldur's Gate 3 is an outstanding and complete RPG. All of its elements work brilliantly and mesh together to create something unique. Calling this game a continuation of the series may be a bit controversial, but it doesn't change the fact that this game is as close to a masterpiece as it gets. Many things are executed much better than in the first two installments, and we finally feel that we have a real impact on the world and events. It's like taking part in the best session of a tabletop RPG.
I’m still conflicted with how I feel about Baldur’s Gate III, and I probably will be for a while. While it carries on the legacy of perhaps one of the most influential CRPGs of all time, I’m not sure if it’s better than the first two games that preceded it. It is a different story by a different team and, while it’s deeply connected to those first two games, it is a promising start to more new adventures set in a familiar world that I’ve always loved.
This is an amazing game overall, especially with the D&D mechanics, but I have noticed that it isn't as immersive as the real D&D, and it feel much more limited than D&D. Even without this, there are a few glitches that make the game a bit unfun, but overall still entertaining until close to the end.

A whole lot of nothing put in a very shiny package.
Great production value but actual game content and mechanics are sub-par and lacking compared to other games in the genre.
After lots of patches and fixes since release it now performs better, but still riddled with bugs.
