Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 ist ein Meisterwerk, das die Magie von klassischen Rollenspielen einfängt und in Sachen Freiheit neue Maßstäbe setzt.

With a vast world to explore with varied stories and secrets to discover, Baldur's Gate 3 definitely shines. The cast is largely appealing and voice acting is top notch all-around, even if the storytelling and line delivery is varied in its pace. Character progression is somewhat weak in the opening levels but has a strong foundation for a great buildcraft experience, even if it lacks some on the fly experimentation seen in Larian's past efforts. Despite some performance woes in the later parts of the game and controller hangups, this is a journey worth taking for fans of Dungeons & Dragons or those new to the role playing field.

Baldur’s Gate 3 really is a triumph of game design, and a masterclass in how to give control to the player, without making it feel like they are heading down a predetermined path regardless of their choices. It’s one of those rare times where you should really believe the hype, because it’s flipping awesome.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is everything I expected from the game and more. I can totally see why it won awards as just for pure content alone it’s top tier. For storytelling, it is top tier and the gameplay is as complex as you want to make it to appease the long-term fans and the newcomers. It is very involved and not some you can play in short bursts. You need to clear your schedule to lose yourself in the game properly.

Baldur's Gate 3 is an open-world RPG like no other. The insane depth, originality and ingenuity on offer truly sets a new standard for not just RPGs, but video games in general. A few bugs aside, it's as close to perfection as we've seen in quite some time. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a truly outstanding video game.

There’s no doubt in my mind, though, that Baldur’s Gate 3 is anything but the best game of this generation, and perhaps not just the last ten years, but of all-time. It’s that good. The sheer amount of handcrafted, unique content on offer is a staggering achievement on its own, and it truly makes you feel like you’re playing your own custom-crafted D&D game. With a fantastic story, only made better by a wonderful cast of characters and phenomenal soundtrack; genuinely memorable side and main quests, it’s as close to perfect a CRPG that you’ll ever play. How you play it is entirely up to you, but I can guarantee you, whichever way you play it, it’ll stay with you for a long time. You really need to experience it, even if CRPGs aren’t your thing.
