As a gacha game it's certainly the easiest of PM's games. That said, the Odyssey had a purpose.

Peak fiction btw

If you're reading this after the debaucle of a post-launch nerf, know that the nerf was pretty mandatory. it was an instance power creep orders of magnitude so far over others that the game would have had to be near-wholly warped around it. PMoon should have put more effort into testing the thing, but necessary it arguably was.

Rough start for a revival. They sure brought the game back, but now they're super behind on the competition. Good game in isolation, but needs to take from other games of its ilk.

Early Access Review
Like Larian's previous games, BG3 is great with a few glaring issues.

+ Engaging encounter design, a huge step up in tactical play.
+ Rebalances, compromises and reworks so that abilities function in a crpg space from their trpg counterparts feel good... mostly. For example, the new weapon abilities (similar to those found in the 5e 2023 UA of weapon masteries) make martials feel actually quite fun. But any improvised DM-fiat has been annihilated -- Obviously.
+ The writing is fine, if corny at times. The game is stuffed with big names in the setting, some are particular fan favourites. But, it never feels cheap. More on this later, and look for the ridiculous frenchman!

~ To those looking for a sequel to Baldur's Gate 2, this is not what you're looking for. The prior BG games used the 2e version of Faerun, BG3 takes place in the 5e-version of Faerun, roughly 100 years later. Most story threads from those times have been closed up in the 3e and 4e stories and campaigns.
~ If you're new to Faerun, prepare to be blasted by a ton of names you don't immediately understand. Fortunately, BG3 is written in such a way that you don't need any prior experience with 5e to get it, but it's a lot.

- Social encounters don't allow you to have characters "step in" to do things they're better at. It's a bit of a bummer and requires you to break immersion to buff or toggle characters, but such is the problem of crpgs. Not to say that this isn't a solved issue, you could just give not-in-dialogue characters an "interject" prompt in the drop-down.
- There is a lot of narrative content that the writers tried to cram in. Out of love for the setting and out of trying to be an epic, but the game does suffer for it. Stuff gets handwaved a lot and each character feels shallower than they might be. The writing isn't bad mind you, it's that the pacing can feel really fast.
- Ladders are not your friend. The height system is something that the Divinity game engine struggles from, and here it's no different. You'll do good to do as little ladder climbing as you can in this game.

In short, nothing less than singularly significant. Play it. Look up nothing.

Fun game if you're not solo, aethestic is really retro-fantasy if you're into that. it's free, try and like it or not.

Personally liked it until SEA became a cesspool, but other regions should be fine

Can't finish the game -- it felt horrible to do so. Omori is a game that really gets the details right, playing felt like twisting the knife in my heart.

So without saying too much... 10/10. Definitely a must-play for someone unlike myself.

Lovely game! You play as an adorable slugcat in a beautiful world with post-civilization vibes.
Great song, beautiful journey
