Baldur's Gate 3

Plenty have been said already, but I'll just add my praises to the pile. A fantastic adventure with great group of companions, varied and fun turn-based gameplay, lovely locales and topnotch writing. Definately worth a playthrough or five for any lover of fantasy or rpgs in general. Great entry to the genre for new players as well, the mechanics are fairly complex but starting out on easier difficulties will smooth the learning experience and you might end up like many ohers and do many, many playthroughs because of the massive amount of iteration the quests and character arcs have.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a visual masterpiece, boasting stunning graphics that capture the intricate details of its fantastical world. The landscapes and character designs are truly a feast for the eyes, drawing players into its vibrant universe. However, the user interface leaves much to be desired. It's a bit of a labyrinth, often making simple tasks feel unnecessarily complicated and hindering the overall gameplay experience. The game excels in providing players with near-boundless freedom in their choices, allowing for a highly personalized adventure. Unfortunately, this sense of immersion is somewhat dampened by modern elements that feel out of place in the classic fantasy setting. While Baldur's Gate 3 may not quite reach the heights of Divinity: Original Sin 2, it still stands out as one of the best releases in recent years, offering a rich and engaging experience that surpasses most contemporary RPGs.

Being a huge fan of RPGs for many decades--I began D&D in 1981--I finally decided to play BG3 after having heard it was phenomenal because of gameplay, story, graphics, etc. It took more hard drive space than I thought, but it runs perfectly on my laptop. Everything from the music to the combat system is blowing my mind. And since I love D&D 5e above all others, BG3 is the perfect way to enjoy that game system with a full party...all from the convenience of my apartment (and no worries about players' schedules). I'm not too far into it yet, but already it's proven it was worth the investment! I highly recommend this!

I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for almost forty years. The original Baldur's Gate blew my mind when I first played it. The second one was also great (and Planescape Torment, etc.) BG3 is a HUGE leap forward in CRPGs, however. On nights when my players cancel, or when I have a few hours to kill, it is amazing to me that I can almost capture the feel of playing honest-to-goodness D&D. It doesn't quite scratch the itch of playing at a table with real players, but it is as close as I can imagine. If you haven't tried it yet, (and it is hard to believe that anyone interested in computer role playing games hasn't already played it!) I HIGHLY recommend it.

Ein gutes Spiel, was jedoch an den Sturen Wegen der Charaktere leidet. Ich bin der Spieler und möchte entscheiden, was die Charaktere machen sollen. Auch gibt es keine Deutsche Sprachausgabe, was ein weiterer Minuspunkt ist.
