博德之门3

This game is such a disappointment. So many things that DOS2 got right which this gets horribly wrong. Combat and general mechanics are alright I guess (glossing over the bugs) but the interface is painful, world scripting is spotty, you'll often be talking to the floor, and they apparently don't test their patches at all. It's just a mess. I do enjoy the story but even that breaks down in places. They've leveraged the copious pre-existing Forgotten Realms lore well enough at least. That's the only reason I'm playing it now, but if the game save (516) bug they just added isn't fixed soon I'll be forced to drop it like a hot rock.

A world to lose yourself in.

Around 70 hours into the game (two seperate playthroughs, one alone and one with friends) and I merely got into the second act. The world is full with details and great stories all along. Main story looking to be the best and most intriguing of any video game I've played so far. Looking to do a full review once I completed a playthrough.

This will be short, have only 20 hours playtime, half each in Solo and Multiplayer, but ... this game is EA and better then many games that state themselves as finished. Its work in progress, you get hints/proof on this at many edges, but all in all ... its great already. Video (especially the cutscences) and Audio is AAA+, Interface, useability, palayability, stability and balancing ... already good (but can and will be made better) and gameplay ... well, if you like tactical turnbased RPGs you will love this! Even though there are some rough edges still ... its EA. I am impressed, Larian! Only thing I dont get still is, why did you call it Baldurs Gate 3. It does not feel like BG, same lore, but totally diffrent game, not worse, not bad in anyway .... but not BG. But thats no real prob for me ... I play for fun and this game already gave me a lot of it!

I gave this game benefit of the doubt. I came in with my expectations low due to massive amount of negative (or at least not very positive) reviews. And as I near the end of the first act this game grows on me, It does play like a Divinity Original Sin games more than a bit, that's true. BG3 doesn't quite get the vibe of the first two games. Maybe it's the goblins, maybe some other elements ( I do not want to spoil too much) but it gives off quite strong Icewind Dale vibes. That is not that bad. Still Forgotten Realms. Writing is somewhat uneven - in places it's quite good, in others it's rough around the edges ( but that's to be expected with Early Access). Generally I must say that I quite enjoy this game so far. It may not be the perfect Baldur's Gate game, but it is still a good game. And if it misses the mark it's not all the way off. I'm very curious what will finally come out of this, but it certainly looks quite promising.
