Baldur's Gate 3 is a landmark achievement for CRPGs and gaming at large. The only thing more staggering than its immense scope and density of systems is the quality in which it's all presented.

For a game as rich and complex as this, it also works surprisingly well on console.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a genuine all-timer, this really is as good as RPGs get, and it's an all-timer that's arrived on Series X in fine form aside from a pesky issue with deleted saves. Returning to Baldur's Gate and successfully serving up the best entry in the series to date must have been an absolutely monumental task, but Larian Studios has managed it with style to spare. With top class combat, writing, acting and world-building hiding all of the terrifying intricacies of a refreshed D&D rulebook, letting us players just get on with the fun stuff, there really is no finer adventure to take in...

Larian Studios took its time with Baldur's Gate III, and certainly didn't skimp on its content. After taking some time ourselves to fully digest it, we are ready to offer thoughts on the very impressive release product.

The Baldur’s Gate games are my most played across both time and platforms. I played the OGs and Enhanced Editions on PC. Then on iPad when they released there, and they’re on my Android phone now. Finally, there’s the shockingly fantastic console ports I have on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The only other franchise that’s done more to define and shape my taste in gaming is Diablo, and Blizzard has shown laughable care for their legacy compared to Larian’s for somebody else’s.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a remarkable achievement for Larian Studios. While their work on Divinity Original Sin set the groundwork for what Baldur’s Gate 3 would be, the final product is truly a work of art. While the PS5 version has a few hiccups to iron out, both it and the PC version are a stunning dis

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.

Is Baldur's Gate 3 one of the best games released in 2023? Yes. Should it be a GOTY contender? Absolutely but the game could do without a hitch or two it suffers from.

An amazing cRPG, truly deserving of the praise that it has received. There are some performance issues on the Steam Deck, but it remains fully playable and definitely worth a recommendation!

It’s taken a couple of decades, but Baldur’s Gate finally has a worthy sequel. While the sandbox it promises proves to be cunning legerdemain and the main story descends into another generic hero’s journey, the richness of your party and the side quests you encounter will keep you engaged for literally hundreds of hours.
