Baldur's Gate 3

A single-player gem

GoG reports I spent 42 hours in this game, yet I think I am only halfway through Act 2. I checked this game out during early access some time ago, so I kinda knew what to expect. I will mention all of the negative things straight away, no spoilers: - Inventory system is a bit chaotic and hard to organize - Camera tends to do exactly what you don't want it to do - I experienced a semi-game-breaking bug at the beginning of Act 2 at the end of the quest related to crafting powerful items. Many other players experineced the same issue - In a different location of Act 2 I experienced a funny non-game-breaking bug, when I claimed a powerful artifact twice in a row using different mechanics -- but only got one copy in the inventory, so it was just an extra cutscene for me Now, to the good things. It is very, very hard to find the limits of what you can and cannot do. The most exciting and important fights I had I waged with words during conversations. There is basically no 'good' or 'bad', it is up to you as a player to choose how to deal with a given situation. You can play as the most holy and pureharted creature in the whole world, or team up with the most vile abominations that want to see the world burn. Or jsut deceive both parties and play them as you wish. When unsure, talk to a closest rat, they are quite smart. I feel as if every thing, every creature is placed there for some reason, and you can leverage it if you know how. Many locations are twice as large as you think they are -- you just need to find a hidden path. If single-player story driven RPG is something you might like, this game will be a great choice. Companion stories are sometimes a bit too dramatic, but nevertheless each is unique and engaging (and sad). The main storyline has not yet fully unfolded for me, so it is just there as a background. The side quests are truly marvelous and sometimes reveal disturbing things, and I highly recommend you to check them out yourself.
