Fantastic game, sunk over 200 hours without realizing. Great CRPG especially for people like me who don't usually play them. Intuitive controls, made 5e feel like a fun system, intriguing story and characters. This game has deserved every award it's received, so my input probably doesn't add much. But as an average TTRPG lover, this game exceeded my expectations.
I can see what all the hype was all about with this game now, after trying it. I always enjoyed fantasy world movies, shows, and games - and Baldur's Gate 3 satisfies that urge and desire one may get after watching a fantasy movie/show (like LOTR) to be immersed in said fantasy. A role-playing game at that, where you are the captain of the ship and have complete freedom to steer the story, which ever way you want to take it. Baldur's Gate 3 has made it into my personal 5 favorite games of all-time. Up there with RDR2, Zelda: BOTW, God of War. Even surpsassing my love for Elden Ring.
I do have to say, turn based isn't necessarily for everyone, and the die roll mechanic was what kept me away from the game for as long as it did - however once I sat down and gave it a shot, I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied on how much fun I was having.
It could be overwhelming. However, the best way to enjoy it IMO is to play it blind the first time, then if you would like to do a full completion run, then there is that route too. Either way, BG3 is meant to be played however you would like, and that is the true beauty of the game. 10/10
Love Baldur's Gate 3. Fun to play with family and friends. I have yet to find something I dislike about it. Love playing with and without mods. Wish Larian would have stayed on to make more Baldur's Gate content, but look forward to everything else they put out as long as it is as good as this!
