Hey you! Yes, you.
Are you usually cautious about games that seem to be overly popular?
Do you often get disappointed if you permit yourself to get hyped about anything?
Did you already come to terms with the fact that you're never gonna play an RPG again that's not a hack n slash, actual shooter or a clunky nostalgia tribute?
Forget all that. Get Baldur's Gate 3.
It is one of the most come-to-live and immersive RPG experiences that you will ever play, and it's both beautiful and mechanically sound. There is this taste of freedom to experiment and explore that we so often miss.
As with any game you'll be able to find downsides to it, but in my book BG3 is one of the few games that do deserve to be called a 5 star game.
Though, one thing's for sure: If I'll ever have to see a mind flayer or githyanki again after BG3, I shall yawn myself to death. I don't need any more of those ever again.
I played 60 hours in the first week and loved every minute of it. The world is beautiful, the character models are stunning. The story doesn't have the DOS jokey vibe. It's dark and adult oriented. The combat is refreshing. I know it's EA but i can't wait to get more content. People are complaining of crashes but in 60 hours i might have crashed 4-5 times. So really depends on your setup. I streamed about 55 hours of this.
I don't think i have seen a better Early Access game. Not sure why people are complaining. The game will likely release in 2022. Best bang for your buck in 2020-2021-2022.
This game has set a new gold standard in RPGs. Ignore all the negative reviews from early access (esp.2020 and 2021). This game is already changing the industry for the better.
It's excellent in all facets.
