As someone who has never played a game like this before, I debated a long time before forking over the cash for it. I know zero about D&D, have never played any kind of strategy game before. I haven't finished the game yet, but can tell you without a doubt it's one of my favorite games I've ever played. It's story-rich, the gameplay is incredibly fun, the characters are very well written. It's a 10/10 for me! Best game ever!

After finishing the game i just uninstalled every other game on my PC because i couldn't bear the thought of having trash like League of Legends installed on the same machine as this masterpiece. *Edit: Fixed typos

I bought Baldur's Gate 3, like many others, caught up in the wave of hype surrounding its release. At first, it didn't grab me. With no prior experience playing Dungeons & Dragons and not being a fan of turn-based combat, I struggled to connect with the game. The mechanics felt foreign, and I found myself drifting away to play other titles. But something about Baldur's Gate 3 kept pulling me back. I gave it another shot, and then, it clicked. I started to enjoy the combat, figuring out how to use the environment to my advantage, and I realized just how much influence you can wield outside of battle. Conversations, choices, and strategies became just as important as swinging a sword or casting a spell. I became invested in the characters, more than I have in any other game. Well, most of them — I don't like Wyll. His story just felt underwhelming compared to the others. Each companion had depth and complexity that kept me hooked. The freedom the game offers is truly unparalleled. I could shape my own story in ways that felt meaningful. I found myself losing track of time, wanting to know what would happen next. Fast forward 150 hours(!), and I’ve just finished my first playthrough. Without a doubt, this is the best game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a LOT of games. The sense of emptiness it leaves behind is almost painful. All I want to do is dive back in and start a new run. (Taking suggestions on what character or class to try next) In summary, yes, I wholeheartedly recommend Baldur's Gate 3. It’s an unforgettable experience that sets a new standard for storytelling and player agency in games. PS: Be warned, though; after playing Baldur's Gate 3, other games may feel linear and their characters shallow in comparison.

A true masterpiece, a work of art, the highest form of technical brilliance! When I play, I feel like I’m age 7 again (I’m 46 at time of writing this). I’m actually ‘playing’ and using my dormant imagination as a middle aged man! This is not a typical game, this is something completely transformative. When I am deep in the underdark, below the adamantine forge, under the arcane tower in the shadowlands searching for the moonrise tower as deities vie for influence over my party members…I am literally teleported inside a novel where I am the main character! This is true role playing! Thank you Larian, this game single handedly elevated the entire industry, I am humbled by it’s brilliance, thank you.
