Baldur's Gate 3

I've played the old Icewind Dales and Temple of Elemental Evil RPGs. THEY were good. So far, this one has impossible boss fights. Everyhting is fine until then. Doesn't matter character builds or compostion, at a boss fight enemies that were no where near the area sudeenly show up. Or the boss themself is invunerable. Total BS!

Gameplay is good if you like divinity you will like this one Navigation is good as well exploration is excellent and exiting There is a freedom of choice but not by much it is ok Companions are annoying and modern doesn't feel like medieval people or fantasy people for that matter Over-sexualisaion and of course everyone is gay and bi like in the real word right ? If you like immersion this will break it. A lot of modern politics and diversity in medieval setting making the game less fun and autentic for the time period (or for the real world now as well actually) . Check RPGHQ for mods to make it less gay and black it will be at least playable

When I bought the game I was surprised by the low rating that GOG users gave the game, it seems to me that more than having an objective vision of the game they want an experience equal to BG 1 & 2. Unfortunately that is not the case, this is a modern game which only lent the name of Baldurs Gate. BG 3 is a great game with excellent mechanics, great story, endearing characters and a compelling plot, you aren't a nobody, your companions aren't nobodys and each character arc is compelling. The game is a catharsis of emotions where everything is counter-relogous and you feel that you have little time to solve the problems that are given to you. I particularly like this mode of narration since it forces me to constantly make decisions under pressure, something that I understand that many people might not like it. In general, great plot, excellent graphics, an INCREDIBLE soundtrack and sound effects, but if you are looking for an experience like Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, Solastra would be the most suitable for you.

For me, the bottom line is always: "Am I having fun?" Yes, yes I am. This game is beautiful, exciting, and deep. The opening sequence reminded me of the beginning of KOTOR, where I felt a real sense of urgency and awe while learning the ropes. I've encountered more companions than I can have in my party at one time. Each provided a different set of skills and an interesting story line. The world is rich, with many objects both useful and/or colorful (heh, portrait of Lohse). Voice acting and cutscenes are very well done. I have found that I need to use thought and tactics to succeed in battle (I've had my posterior handed to me a couple of times when I didn't). I am running this at 4K on a high end machine without having encountered any visual problems or obvious bugs; I don't know about other platforms so take that for what it is. About 7 hours in. I didn't go into this with a lot of expectations, certainly not that it should be like BG2. Someone else wrote that it feels between classic Baldur's Gate and Divinity Original Sin 2, and I agree. I loved both games, so not a bad thing. This works very well! The character creation is versatile but takes some learning and experimentation to use effectively. I at first created a male with breasts above and, um, junk below before I learned to change the body type. The game does allow quite a range of biological types but doesn't prevent your avatar from being what you want, and I'm fine with that. Recommended!

I've never played a game that has crashed so often in a short amount of time. Wait until patches are released before purchasing.
