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.

Recent cRPG releases have revitalized the genre and proven that a great single-player game can gather a huge passionate playerbase, no microtransactions or live service elements needed. If you enjoy narrative-driven RPGs that feature deep roleplaying systems and a cast of great characters, you owe it to yourself to give Baldur’s Gate 3 a chance. I have not felt such a rush of emotions since Dragon Age: Origins.

The PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 offers a gaming experience as excellent as the PC version in almost every respect, and while it lends itself to a few minor technical stumbles, it plays great thanks to a perfect adaptation of the control system on the DualSense controller. Even on consoles the Larian Studios title quietly establishes itself as a new benchmark for the RPG genre.

Baldur's Gate 3 is, for me, the best game I've played in a long time. While I feel some ideas were left on the drawing board, I won't go into details to avoid spoilers. Despite the minor setbacks, it's a title that truly stands out and will undoubtedly mark a milestone in the history of video games. If you haven't played it yet, I urge you to do so; it's an experience you won't regret having.

It's basically a game that recalls the real joy of RPG that people forgot. In Baldur's Gate3, you can do pretty much everything as much as however you like. At the end of the game, the only thing left there was simply a gratitude to Larian Studios for making this exceptional journey.

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.

If you’re an RPG fan, get Baldur’s Gate 3. Now. It’s one of those titles that feels like a ‘once in a century’ experience. Its systems are deep while being rewarding and thrilling to master. Its narrative is bold, exciting, and at times, devastatingly heartbreaking. Though – to BG3’s credit – the writing never gets to the point of being overly complicated and full of itself. Even if you don’t consider yourself an RPG fan, you must play it. Baldur’s Gate 3 is that good. It’s a rare achievement that will sit in the discussion of the greatest games ever made for the rest of time. Bravo to Larian Studios for crafting a genuine work of art.

Baldur's Gate 3 is incredible, proof that in 2023 it is still possible to be amazed by a video game. It is deep, flexible, and engaging, but most importantly, it is able to tell an immersive story dictated by the player's smallest choices. Pioneers like Richard Garriott or Robert Woodhead can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a well-deserved retirement, because their legacy is safe in the hands of Larian Studios.

Baldur's Gate 3 is everything you could wish for if you love Dungeons and Dragons or if you've ever wanted to play but, unfortunately, can't find a party to play with. The possibilities are practically endless, and although within logical conceptual limits as a video game, the experience proposed by Larian Studios is an incredibly replayable and unique. It is definitely an RPG experience as you will hardly find again on console.

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.

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…
