Attack of the Fanboy - Noah Nelson - Unscored

Baldur’s Gate 3 shocks me with it’s high level of player freedom found in customization, decisions, and consequences, and the compelling stories, both micro and macro, mixed with the expansive gameplay possibilities.


Checkpoint Gaming - Edie W-K - Unscored

Although my time with the game hasn’t been enough to yet form a full critique, I can already tell that Baldur’s Gate 3 is a very impressive feather in Larian Studio’s cap.


GGRecon - Ava Thompson-Powell - Unscored

Larian Studios is on a heck of a hot streak, and Baldur’s Gate 3’s early signs suggest it could be the studio’s biggest success to date. With rich lore and ample customisation for how you approach the world alongside gorgeous visuals, it’s shaping up to be a title that I’ll remember for a long time - and I’m only in Act 1.


GamesRadar+ - Ali Jones - Unscored

For now, suffice to say that Baldur’s Gate 3 feels a little bit like Larian has accomplished the impossible. This is an entire, years-long pen-and-paper roleplaying campaign realized in beautiful fidelity, in a way that brings every tiny detail of your mind’s eye to life.


GamingTrend - David Flynn, Ron Burke - Unscored

They simply don’t make ‘em like this, and I can’t wait to experience all this game has to offer.


IGN - Leana Hafer - Unscored

On the whole, I really am loving Baldur’s Gate 3 so far.


PCGamesN - Paul Kelly - Unscored

Baldur’s Gate 3’s world is beautiful, layered and complex, and challenges you to attack it how you want. And though this is what makes it a little daunting, it’s also what makes me eager to dive back in and see where the adventure is going.


Screen Rant - Cody Gravelle - Unscored

Baldur’s Gate 3 is imposing in stature and its best moments are truly memorable, but some early issues with scale suggest an uneven experience.


Wccftech - Francesco De Meo - Unscored

As of now, however, I feel Larian Studios has done a tremendous job, creating one, if not the most engaging cRPG in a very long time.


We Got This Covered - Ash Martinez - 4.5 / 5

An excellent follow-up to its decades-old predecessor, ‘Baldur’s Gate III’ sets a new gold standard for RPGs in the modern age. Though it has its fair share of buggy problems, the vibrant world, intriguing storytelling, and captivating gameplay more than make up for its shortcomings.


ZTGD - Terrence Johnson - 9.5 / 10

The team at Larian Studios are to be commended, Baldur’s Gate 3 is nothing short of a masterpiece when it comes to RPG’s.


eXputer - Huzaifah Durrani - 5 / 5

Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time, and a testament to the talent of developer Larian Studios.

    I played five hours or so untill I accidentally caught two trolls humping each other. They were embarrassed. I asked them to continue. Sadly failed the dice roll so they akwardly left. 10/10 game for me.

    I’m about 12 hours in now and still am impressed like a little kid. Apparently I still have rougjly 30 hours left of quests in act 1 if I rush.

    It feels like when Skyrim first released again on how easy it is to get lost in the gameplay.

    Bravo, Larian.

    You know a game is going to be good when half the industry cries and shits its pants and begs not to be held to its standard.
