Baldur's Gate 3

The story telling: SUPERB The drama: SUPERB The characterizations: SUPERB The voice acting: SUPERB The graphics: SUPERB even to the point of being stunningly beautiful at times. The music: EXCELLENT The game play is difficult at times but it is not quite what i am used to and in my old age ( i am 66) new things do take some getting used to. However it is well worth the perseverance Overall this is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I count myself privileged to be able to play such a masterpiece of a game game as this. My only regret is that i waited so long to do the hardware upgrade necessary in order to play game thank you strefanash

This game just keeps getting better. Even after all this time of being out, they have kept updating it. Buy it once, and get at least 3 DLCs worth of content, and a game that encourages modding in a cross-platform environment! This game shows that at least one developer still remembers the good old days when games were launced completed and didn't try to milk you with micro-transactions.

My 2023 GOTY. Best modern game I've played in a while.

Crashes on close if cloud save is enable very frequently. Lost multiple honor games due to extremely poor larian cloud saves deleting my local files when an honor mode cloud save fails.

All around a great game, with an engaging story, good writing, an excellent turn-based combat system with tons of options, and great graphics/art/animation. Yes, the story prods you along in one direction (just like a real DM would do) but there's a lot of latitude in the paths you choose. If you play solo and bring on the NPC companions, they are interesting and fun to have along. There's a ton of character possibilities (classes, races, specialty skills, etc.) and magic items to really build unique and varied characters. I started playing D&D around 1982 and then computer RPGs soon thereafter on the Commodore 64 and then PC's. This game ranks up there with the all-time greats like The Bard's Tale, the Ultima series, Wasteland, Fallout 1&2, the SSI AD&D games, and Balder's Gate 1 & 2. Tons of side quests to keep you busy, lots of great combat encounters, plenty of puzzles to solve. This game made me enjoy PC gaming again like the good old days. It also has good replay value. I highly recommend it.
