Baldur's Gate 3

The game is beautiful, I've had some glitches especially loading graphics but largely the game is very polished, the storyline feels epic and the characters are really well voiced and animated. However, this game launched more than a year ago, calling it "early access" at this point feels like a joke. It's selling for the price of an expensive full release game, but playing it is like being part of an MMO at launch: with blank "this class will be added later" assets. I'm enjoying It but I dont feel like its worth the price point, and I think it should be clearer that this is still a beta version you're paying for l. At this release rate I can't imagine there will be anyone interested left who hasn't already played it by the time it's "done".

honestly, i gave it two stars because the graphics, atmosphere and battlefield interactions are actually pretty good... the plot and story is about as far from interesting as to be the opposite of it... starts off with action video galore, zoooom zooom, zap zap zap, booom! brain eating monsters, dragons, demons!!! WOooooo!?!? super action galore indeed... and then the game starts... and you are doing tedious point and click investigations, then on to some fluff, encountering the gith, killing some demons in slow paced turn based combat... do your actions, move, end your turn, wait, wait, wait, wait, see some numbers change, wait, wait a bit more, then it is your turn again, zap an enemy and move a bit, rince and repeat until the encounter is finished. this entire first chapter in the game could easily have been cut down to a single room where you can talk to the gith and release the cleric and then have a big explosion and crash and then start the game for real with whatever it is you are supposed to do other than get the brain eating bug out of your head... as the entire ship scene is so jarringly atonal from the setup that you could easily have clown music and a laugh track running on repeat benny hill style and it would actually improve it massively... and then comes the rest of the game and i have not even gotten off the ship yet as the coop is so bugged we quit trying at the boss fight with the infernal and the brain eating mindflayer... while they can fix the bugs and i expect them to do so soon enough, they seem unable to find the talent to make an interesting or engaging story to the point i wished they would just have started the game in a stereotypical tavern on a boring ass generic quest, it would at least not be so jarring and a bit more in the style of baldurs gate (of which i have yet to even see any of)

Well, the game is still in development, so I think it will be much better when it comes out next year. I really like it so far. Interesting character development and visually stunning, this game has a lot going for it, and I love that it is placed in the world of Baldur's Gate! Like many here I love the original Baldur's Gate games. This one is very different from setup (incl. turn-based combat, etc.). However, it is still very good and I am curious to find out how the story unfolds.

This review is only for early acces but Early acces was enough to fall in love with this game instantly, I have play many game like the Witcher series, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Gothic all the Elder Scrolls etc but this game is what I been waiting for. I never though I was going to live to see somthing of this quality ever again and I am glad I was completly wrong.

I'm having a great time with the game. I've played the originals and yes, was around when they relaeased and no, it doesn't have that classic Baldurs Gate vibe and well,,, Im ok with that. I respect other reviewers who miss it. 1 and 2 were remarkable and nothing can change that but dang, you can't deny the excellence that Larian put into this. I havent yet played the DOS series but based on what I see with this game, I want to. Ok,,, Im only 5 hours in but super impressed. For 1, its running quite well on my Radeon Rx470 4gb card which I did not expect. No,,, I can't run it in 4k but im getting a solid 82fps on 1440p and its been a very nice experiance. So far the enviornments are are both beautiful and repulsive when needed and really put you into a mystical fantasy state of mind. Yes, I have experianced a few technical issues. The game crashed on my very first level up. I have no idea why and was dissapointed at the time but got to play through some of the early sequences again, made what I thought were minor dialog adjustments and route changes and had some suprisingly different outcomes. I won't go into any spoilers but it was impressive how much of an affect these little descision changes made. The game has not crashed on level ups again and yes,,, I am saving with greater frequency,,, lol. Also,,, when I quit the game and go back in the antialiasing settings always have to be re-set from none back to TAA. The gameplay has more than made up for these early release hitches and will not detract from my 5 star rating. So far the game has been FUN with a compelling story and great characters and I think that most role playing gamers are gonna love it. Im also pretty confident that Larian will work hard to polish work out kinks as they are brought to thier attention. I highly reccomend to any fan of RPG style gaming .
