As a long time fan of the Baldur's Gate "series", with countless hours played on BG1, BG2, their expansion packs and Icewind Dale, I was really looking forward to revisiting the Forgotten Realms, with a game based on a modern engine. Unfortunately, Baldur's Gate 3 is a massive disappointment, with a terrible camera interface, woeful inventory management and some of the worst combat mechanics I have ever come across. When it takes almost an hour to resolve a fight with a handful of goblins, and you lose that fight, only to realise to progress in the game you will need to spend another hour on the same fight, any desire to continue playing the game drains out of you. Anyone who has played the game (and is not one of the many obviously paid shills who have reviewed the game for the gaming media) will commiserate with me. Miss, miss, miss, critical miss.
