The Xbox Series X/S version of Baldur's Gate 3 once again confirms the extreme skill of Larian Studios. The porting to Microsoft home consoles was a perfect success, also allowing Xbox players to get their hands on GOTY 2023. Obviously we hope that the save bug will be resolved as soon as possible. A problem which, as mentioned, does not directly depend on the work carried out by the Belgian team.

After an agonizing wait, Baldur's Gate 3 has arrived among us, bringing the role-playing game within everyone's reach without demanding prior knowledge. The title presents itself excellently and the work done in porting it to consoles could not have been done better, starting from the mechanics up to the graphic interface. In short, a success on all fronts.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that only happens once every ten years. It's the culmination of years of early access and passion from Larian Studios, a deep love for the source material, and the desire to create something that speaks to as many people as possible. With an absurd amount of replay value and dozens of possibilities for where your character will end up, this is easily on the shortlist for Game Of The Year 2023, and an argument could already be made that this is one of the greatest games of all time.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game of ups and downs: if the script and cast are fantastic, the performance is shaky. If the visuals and soundtrack are jaw-dropping, the experience is not the most intuitive and fluid on console.

With such high highs and low lows, this game is what you make of it. If you can stomach the glitches and frustrations that come with the local co-op experience, you are in for a fantastic time.

Against all odds Baldur’s Gate 3 is everything it’s hyped up to be. An RPG with few if any equals. A project of passion, made by RPG fans for RPG fans. A niche game, developed with AAA quality graphics, sound, and animations. Phenomenal writing, compelling complex characters, and some of the best turn-based combat I’ve ever enjoyed. And best of all, for me personally, is that it does its predecessors proud.

If you love narrative games, if you know turn-based battles, if you're curious about the depth of them, if you want to lose yourself in the story of beautifully designed characters, you're in the right place. Larian Studios has set a bar that probably won't be surpassed for another 15 years.

Some games are very good, while others are bad. Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't fall into either class. It would still not be enough to say that it was perfectly designed for him and that he packed the entire world of D&D into 90 hours of gameplay. Because it has been a groundbreaking production that makes it very difficult for future games -especially RPG- with its detailed and well-thought-out structure that will take its own and other genres forward. An infinite amount of exploration items have a structure that pushes you to want to live in that world.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the best games ever made… do I need to say anything else? Its storytelling is amazing, the combat is enthralling, and the world is one I love being a part of. It plays wonderfully on the PlayStation 5, both from a technical perspective and with its controls, whilst the sheer amount of content here will easily keep players hooked in for a long, long time. 2023 has already been a wonderful year for gaming, but Baldur’s Gate 3 really is the crème de la crème. Don’t be surprised to see it rule over the ‘Game of the Year’ lists this year…

Baldur's Gate 3 is an impressive feat, making a DnD game accessible to the masses, while keeping the core, mechanics and variety of the rulebook intact. The freedom of choice is enormous, as are the consequences. The translation to consoles isn't entirely perfect and some minor grievances and bugs have transitioned or are even introduced, but all in all, this is the best Dungeons & Dragons game in existence.

Overall, the PlayStation 5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 is well done. Some sacrifices in gameplay, graphics, and combat reduce the gameplay experience, especially for players who have already played the PC version.

2023 might be the most stacked year for video games in history, with an absurd number of absolutely incredible titles available to play, and even more to come before the year closes! With all of that in mind, Baldur’s Gate 3 has captured the cultural zeitgeist in a way that few games in history have, all while being the most polished and complete, well-put-together launch experience I have seen in years (due in large part to the three years of early access, but still). This has been an absolutely banner year for video games, but Baldur’s Gate has planted its flag firmly at the top, and I don’t see anyone dethroning it for years to come.
