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.

In Progress Review
I have 50 hours into the game. I am in the middle of Act 2. So far, this game is a masterpiece. They don't make CRPG's like this anymore. Larian clearly learned a lot making Original Sin 1 and 2. I think this is one of those games that benefited a lot from it's early access phase. If you have even a passing interest in story driven tactical RPG's, then you owe it to yourself to play Baldur's Gate 3, a game that will likely win a lot of people's "Game of the Year" for 2023.

Masterclass RPG
If you are even only remotely interested in RPGs, you will enjoy Baldur's Gate 3. The quality and size of the world is epic, the caracters are superbly written and the story keeps you hooked and wanting for more. This is one of the few games I'd even accept a price tag beyond 60€, because you can literally feel the love and labor poured into this game at every turn you take.

Awesome
Do I wish the combat was real time like the older infinity engine games rather than turn based like Larian's other rpgs? Yes, I really, really do. Does that make the game any less good? Not really. There are some performance issues in the mid-to-late game that keep this from being a 5 star review but honestly its more annoying than game breaking. I wish I had started this game with a group rather than solo. If you have the opportunity to do that, you should.

Not really old Baldur's Gate vibe but...
If we're gonna compare it to the previous titles I would say that there's not much in common with them - especially in terms of the atmosphere. But that's not really a problem with Baldur's Gate III because what it gives is superb in execution. You may call this completely different game but still as a game its top notch. What I liked: * Excellent story line * Characters * Choices really matter and they are changing further adventures (!) * Fun combat and exploration * It's not an openworld but still is large as hell * It has some oldschool vibes * Great graphics and music/sound * Great fantasy atmosphere on its own What was not so good: * First impression * Inventory managment and sometimes interface * Too much 'woke' stuff and political correctness Overall highly recommended.
