I really like how the sortof Conway's game of life mechanics makes me thing about solutions and gameplay.
Its oddly enjoing, where other games like this are more focused on movement and weapon/character build as the only option, this gives me more.

Solid 7/10 for me! I like that I can just go around and do side missions whenever I want!

Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece that seamlessly marries rich storytelling, strategic gameplay, and stunning visuals, creating an unforgettable gaming experience. Loyal to its revered predecessors, this title takes the classic role-playing formula to new heights.

Visually, Baldur's Gate 3 is a spectacle to behold. The meticulously crafted environments, from lush forests to eerie dungeons, exude a sense of wonder and immersion. The attention to detail extends to the character designs, each brimming with personality and uniqueness.

What truly sets Baldur's Gate 3 apart is its strategic gameplay. The turn-based combat system is a cerebral dance of tactics and skill, demanding players to carefully plan each move while adapting to the unpredictable ebb and flow of battles. The depth of character customization and the variety of abilities ensure that every encounter feels fresh and challenging.

Moreover, the game's dedication to player agency is commendable. Choices, both big and small, reverberate throughout the storyline, influencing alliances, betrayals, and the very fate of the world. This dynamic storytelling approach creates a sense of ownership over the narrative, elevating the emotional investment to unprecedented levels.

The companions in Baldur's Gate 3 are not mere tag-alongs; they are fully-fledged characters with their own backstories, motivations, and unique abilities.

This fosters a sense of camaraderie and investment, turning these digital allies into essential components of the player's journey.

The companions' reactions and interactions dynamically respond to the player's choices and actions, creating a living, breathing party dynamic that mirrors the unpredictability of real-life relationships. This system prompts players to carefully consider their decisions, knowing that they can impact not only the main character but also these companions who have become integral to the narrative.

Furthermore, the companion system provides an additional avenue for players to engage with the game's strategic elements. Each companion brings a distinct set of skills and abilities to the table, contributing to the complexity of battles and puzzle-solving. This encourages experimentation and fosters a sense of synergy as players mix and match their party members to overcome challenges.

In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a symphony of artistry, strategy, and storytelling that stands as a testament to the heights that modern RPGs can achieve. It envelops players in a captivating journey, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the limitless possibilities within the gaming medium.

The story is rich and enjoyable, reading books, text, character dialog and anything i come across makes me care about characters and the world, just like a well delivered pen and paper game.

First time playing this system and I enjoy it so much I will try it out on the tabletop as well.

An excellent game, fantastic gameplay. somewhat clunky controlls, but you get used to them. The game is fun but it is on the other side very easy. Combat is a breeze but the exploration parts are sometimes challenging and at those times it is a pleasure to play.

Game is fun, engaging and even worth waiting in hour long queues to be able to play.
I find the game to be more on the side of MMO then on the side of aRPG, i like this but someone else might find the MMO grind to be unwanted. Im not a free to play player, so its hard for me to comment without a strong bias, but I feel the pay to win sections of the game to be fair.

Fantastic story and I have heard from credible sources that it only gets better.

If you like Final Fantasy or other story driven games im sure you would love this game.

Worked without any hassle. Surprised that the 2080 series can even do so much at so ok framerate.
