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.

Absolutely Stunning on the M1 Max
There aren't a lot of AAA titles optimized for Apple Silicon so when one does come out, it has the market cornered and that's what we see here. Anyone who wants to witness the true potential of the M1 chip optimized for gaming, there is no other game besides BG3 that can show you the true performance of the chip is capable of. I am baffled at how pristine the graphics look coming out of this machine. The optimization is truly unparalleled. Now, onto the game itself. If you are a fan of any of the following: RPG, turn-based strategy, D&D, immersive story-telling, dungeon crawlers, fun, etc, then this game is absolutely for you. BG3 is still in early access but there is more than enough things to do in the game to occupy your time. Players are free to make any decisions they like to augment the story of the game, build their characters however they like, and the strategic decisions you can make to turn the tides of a battle are endless. Did I mention the graphics are just drop dead gorgeous? Because it is. The texture of my characters felt so real I was almost convinced I was creating a real person. It just simply cannot be overstated how amazing this looks. Especially if you have a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip, GET THIS!

THE game I was waiting for years to play
What can I say? I didn't even finish my first playthrough but I'm hooked. I had some difficulties adjusting for the first 5/10 hours ingame cause I didn't really understand how classes worked, but nothing a good online guide can't fix (I blame my ignorance on DND classes and spells for this, not the game itself). I am playing Druide of Spores and oh man, once you get the hang of it it's super fun to do. Overally, I can say if you like old games like DAO and stuff you're gonna absolutely have a blast with BG3: infinite possibilities, a lot of enjoable and lore rich companions, wonderful world to explore, a freedom I hardly found in other games on how to resolve all the difficulties on your path. Obviously the story itself, the npcs you meet on your journey, the visuals that are just amazing. Can I say something bad about the game? I don't think so, honestly. So far the best game I have played in years. I absolutely reccomend it, it's worth its price.
