Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t just a game, it’s a tidal wave of emotions. From the moment I dove in, I felt like part of its world. Astarion’s hidden pain, Karlach’s heartwarming spirit, Shadowheart’s tangled faith, they weren’t just characters, but old friends. My choices shaped their stories, their fates, and it hit me hard, sometimes breaking my heart, sometimes filling it with hope. The battles and strategies are great, but it’s the heart you pour into every dialogue and decision that matters. Each choice felt heavy, real, like it was my own life. Larian didn’t just craft a game; they built a bond. When it ended, I felt both fulfilled and like something was missing. This was an unforgettable journey.

After having spent about 700 hours and having unlocked every achievement in the game, I figured I should write a review about one of my favorite, if not my favorite game, Baldur's Gate 3. (This will be a spoiler-free review) The developer's previous game (Divinity: Original Sin 2) was my favorite CRPG, so when I got into the early access of BG3 I wasn't expecting it to be that good in comparison, and boy was I wrong. Graphics First of all, and the main reason BG3 gave so much visibility to the CRPG genre, the graphics are amazing. The game is beautiful and has tons of real-time cutscenes with fully voiced dialogues that make the game so much more alive than DOS2, Pathfinder, Solasta and all the others in the genre. Which is refreshing; you live the dialogues and you really feel like you're the hero of the story, you don't have to read walls of text with a PNG of the character you're talking to next to it. Freedom But I'm not the type to judge a game solely on its graphics so let's talk about what this game is really about: choices. You'll have tons of choices to make. The first time you launch the game, you'll spend about an hour creating your character because of all the different choices you can make. This game truly captures the creation of a DnD character and lets you make all sorts of choices. Obviously, you can choose among different classes, races, subclasses, deities, origins, spells, etc., but you'll also spend time creating your protector and choosing whether you want a cut or an uncut penis, which, funnily enough, is always the sign of a great game. The game lets you do whatever you want, and I'm not talking about all those games out there that tell you you can make your own choices and influence the story when there are 3 endings in total. Here you'll truly be the hero of your own story. It will even be difficult at first to think outside the box and to understand that you can actually do exactly what you want without having to worry about breaking the main quest or missing out on the rewards. The characters Larian sure knows how to make memorable and impactful characters. All characters have their own side story, whether you are a wizard that got dumped by your goddess lover, a big red muscle mommy that escaped the hells or even a sociopath killer that doesn't remember anything about his past life, you'll have your own questline in addition to your companions' ones. You will learn to love some and to hate others but you'll always have companions by your side that feel like they really are a part of the story; they are not simply there to look good and fight by your side. Decide to kill one, ignore another or even romance them and your game and story will be affected. You will be surprised to learn what happens to them as you make different choices through your campaigns (because you will play more than one campaign). And we have to talk about the voice acting. It is incredible. The actors did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and you really feel their emotions by listening to them. On top of that, having a Narrator describing your actions like a real Dungeon Master adds so much to the immersion. Let's not forget to mention romances, it is Baldur's Gate after all. There are 8 main romances in the game, with choices ranging from the hot emo girl with parental issues to the druid who wildshapes into a bear in the heat of the moment. You can decide to totally ignore romances if you'd like (though I don't understand you), but beware of Gale: he tends to misread friendliness as romantic interest. Combat You have a wide range of options to choose from. Let's say you arrive at a bridge with a few goblins guarding it, what will you do ? Whether you want to attack discreetly, charge head-on, drink an invisibility potion and go past them, charm them, threaten them, place barrels of smokepowder on the bridge, make it rain then electrocute them all, make stairs with boxes and jump over them, grab a goblin to hit another, knock them out, build a barrier with boxes and let them come, throw them off the bridge with a wind burst, the choice is yours. You will never be bored in a fight and you will love long fights with tons of enemies because that's when you'll be able to experiment, search your bag for scrolls, potions, arrows or magic artifacts you forgot about and win in ways you would have never thought about in any other game. Soundtrack The OST is amazing and deserves to be talked about. Borislav Slavov composed a masterpiece that defines the atmosphere of the game. From the haunting melody of "Down by the River" in the character creation screen to the battle themes that shift dynamically depending on the action, everything is perfect. There's even a boss fight in the game where the boss sings his own theme song, which is one of the most epic gaming moments I’ve ever experienced. NPCs Every NPC that you can talk with has unique dialogues and could be a part of a quest depending on the choices you make. Animals too can be talked to if you can communicate with beasts and all have things to say; even the corpses have stuff to say if you can talk to the dead. And almost all of them can help you in your quest or give you new ones. Once you understand that, you will find new ways to play the game. Are you looking for someone that escaped? Chug a potion of animal speaking and talk to cats in the street to see if they've seen him. Are you looking for information but have already killed most of the town? Cast a 'Speak with Dead' scroll and ask the corpses. Speaking with every NPC you find will never disappoint you, even if they don't have much to say to you now, you may find them 30 hours later and have new interactions with them because you took the time to speak with them. Conclusion I’m going to wrap up this review because I’m getting carried away by the passion I have for this game, and you shouldn’t be wasting your time reading this when you should be out there buying and playing it. Just know that whether you are a veteran of CRPGs or a newbie that never played one and has always been intimidated by the tactical side, the walls of text, the top-down view, or underwhelming graphics, this game will redefine your vision of the genre. It's no wonder it caused such a stir when it came out. Karlach / 10

I don’t usually write reviews, but this game genuinely deserves it. The amount of freedom is insane. You can talk, fight, sneak, charm, explode, or just throw a pair of boots at someone if you feel like it. And the game reacts to all of it. The companions are brilliantly written. They are flawed, layered, and real. I didn’t expect to get this attached, but here I am. Also, I’ve replayed the intro like ten times just to try different classes and backgrounds. Every time, something new happens. Visually, it’s stunning. The world feels alive, and the voice acting? Top tier. Even the dice rolls add a weird kind of tension I didn't know I needed in a video game. If you love story-driven RPGs with real choices and real consequences, don’t miss this one! It’s not just a game. It’s a full-on DnD campaign you can lose yourself in. Huge thanks to Larian Studios for putting so much heart and soul into this. You’ve created something truly special. 💚

Turns out i like turn-based RPGs. Turns out I like DnD based games. When I first saw this game, I didn't have a single bit of interest. I gave it shot, and now I'm completely enthralled. This review is for the skeptical people who wouldn't normally play these types of games. It's a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you're unfamiliar with DnD! It's worth the learning curve!
