Baldurā€™s Gate 3 shocks me with itā€™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.

Although my time with the game hasnā€™t been enough to yet form a full critique, I can already tell that Baldurā€™s Gate 3 is a very impressive feather in Larian Studioā€™s cap.

GGRecon - Ava Thompson-Powell - Unscored

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

GamesRadar+ - Ali Jones - Unscored

For now, suffice to say that Baldurā€™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 mindā€™s eye to life.

They simply donā€™t make ā€˜em like this, and I canā€™t wait to experience all this game has to offer.

IGN - Leana Hafer - Unscored

On the whole, I really am loving Baldurā€™s Gate 3 so far.

PCGamesN - Paul Kelly - Unscored

Baldurā€™s Gate 3ā€™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, itā€™s also what makes me eager to dive back in and see where the adventure is going.

Screen Rant - Cody Gravelle - Unscored

Baldurā€™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, ā€˜Baldurā€™s Gate IIIā€™ 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, Baldurā€™s Gate 3 is nothing short of a masterpiece when it comes to RPGā€™s.

eXputer - Huzaifah Durrani - 5 / 5

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