Baldur's Gate 3
Description
Cross-platform multiplayer with Steam is supported.
Gather your party, and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.
Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.
From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.
Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Adventure, loot, battle and romance as you journey through the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Play alone, and select your companions carefully, or as a party of up to four in multiplayer.
Abducted, infected, lost. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay, and more than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together.
Forged with the new Divinity 4.0 engine, Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that reacts to your choices. A grand, cinematic narrative brings you closer to your characters than ever before, as you venture through our biggest world yet.
The Forgotten Realms are a vast, detailed and diverse world, and there are secrets to be discovered all around you -- verticality is a vital part of exploration. Sneak, dip, shove, climb, and jump as you journey from the depths of the Underdark to the glittering rooftops of the Upper City. How you survive, and the mark you leave on the world, is up to you.
- allows you to combine your forces in combat, and split your party to follow your own quests and agendas. Concoct the perfect plan together… or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it.
- offer a hand-crafted experience, each with their own unique traits, agenda, and outlook on the world. Their stories intersect with the entire narrative, and your choices will determine whether those stories end in redemption, salvation, domination, or many other outcomes.
- based on the D&D 5e ruleset. Team-based initiative, advantage & disadvantage, and roll modifiers join combat cameras, expanded environmental interactions, and a new fluidity in combat that rewards strategy and foresight.
- through your choices, and the roll of the dice. No matter who you play, or what you roll, the world and its inhabitants will react to your story.
- allows you to pause the world around you at any time even outside of combat. Whether you see an opportunity for a tactical advantage before combat begins, want to pull off a heist with pin-point precision, or need to escape a fiendish trap. Split your party, prepare ambushes, sneak in the darkness -- create your own luck!

Critics reviews
Game Rant
4.5/5 stars
Baldur’s Gate 3 is something special, though. Its complexity is intimidating, but sticking with it and learning has such a high reward threshold that it's hard to not recommend the sequel to even the most casual gamers out there. It has heart, it has style, and it has the multi-year effort of a studio that obviously loves its source material. The mind-blowing size of the game itself and everything contained within is a testament to Larian Studios' dedication to its craft and commitment to bringing something incredible to the gaming public. The blend of the various Dungeon & Dragons systems into the game is almost flawless in its execution, and the math and storytelling combo does a one-two punch on almost every other RPG game out there. High quality and astoundingly fun, Baldur’s Gate 3 may just become the kind of game that old and new fans can agree is something extraordinary.

Tarnishes Classic Characters
Solid 7/10 game that sadly brings back and tarnishes irrevocably two returning characters from the classic games; Viconia & Sarevok with woeful interpretations of both. This will always be a non-canonical follow up to the true classic BG Saga, it is not in Larian's purview to mess around with and override the variable endstates of companion characters from a story that was concluded 20 years ago just to bring them back in the worst way imaginable for this game. Please stick to your own IPs Larian, DOS2 was already a superior game to BG3.

I'd pass on this for now
Bought the game on Steam, and gonna put the same review here, to hopefully save some people some cash until the game is something better. "Game crashes constantly, and character gets stuck in terrain constantly. Yes, it is a BETA, which is why it should not be a $60 game, as it is not at all finished. Gameplay wise, if you are expecting Baldur's Gate 2 in 2020, then you will be disappointed. This is a very different kind of rpg. You won't find that AD&D style play here, or isometric gameplay (though you can zoom out to something similar, but it mostly seems focused on being third person) that you may be familiar with from the old games. Combat also feels more like xcom or something of the sort, since combat is turn based, and are some bugs with that, due to character getting stuck on terrain, which can end your turn without moving or taking an action, but again the game is a BETA. You can turn off turn based combat with Shift+Space on your keyboard, but the game was obviously not meant to be played in real time. Is a whole slew of issues with real time. Of course, that is if you can ever get through five minutes of play without a crash to even do any combat. All together I'd say to pass on the game for now, wait a year until it is finished. In it's current state it is not worth paying a AAA price tag."
