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.

Made with love for players
This is the first game I've played since The Witcher 3 where I can feel that the studio was focused on making a great game for the players, not the shareholders. Truly amazing!

Unplayable for me
Graphics are good and environmentals are beautifully-designed. But the game has too many flaws and bugs which made me uninstall and regret spending 60€ for it. Still don't know why this game gets all the awards in the world for being such a buggy mess.

Early review
I’ve not played much yet... just one thing that I’ve noticed so far is that the quality of ‘cut scenes’ that are made using the in game models is lacking and that I prefer the dos version of this, where there simply were not cut scenes. I think that a game this big will struggle to make the cut scenes good enough.... who knows, just very initial thoughts on this

Game I fantasized playing.
I am a old dog of the FR of AD&D and 2nd Ed. I didn't keep up with the TT RPG via v3-v5. I did hear about the changes from friends though. But because of the new rules and the diligent work put in by Larian this is a game world I fantasized that could be made when I was a kid. A completely organic D&D world. To the negatives. - it's not D&D/FR: It is. These are the new rules that stripped out all the crappy learning curves to play the TTRPG. No longer do GM's have to tell players, "No you can't because the rules say you can't." - They are stealing all my info with magic DRMs: No. Bottom right corner on the startup window is Skip login, click it. - Game is buggy: Uhmmm a little. A lot less than the normal released games of this size. - Main story arc/it's not BG: It reminds me a lot of ES: Oblivion. I didn't win the main story arc for YEARS. Was too busy screwing around with side quests and doing random "stuff." If your a power grinder who wants to go from beginning to end in a day, this game won't be your cup of tea. If your perfectly content just dicking around forgetting there is a main story arc... this is your game. I won BG 1&2 and those games are nothing like this one which is perfectly fine by me.
