From the moment early access was announced, I knew this game was going to be a hit—and wow, it did not disappoint!

The storytelling in BG3 is masterfully narrated from beginning to end, weaving intricate narratives with deep, rich lore that enhances the immersive experience, making it truly feel like something out of a tabletop RPG campaign.

Visually, the game is breathtaking with meticulously designed environments and characters over the three major acts, complemented by an intricately engineered sound design. This pulls you into the world of Faerûn through detailed sounds—from crackling and powerful magic being cast to the meaty and crunchy physical combat.

The voice acting is exceptional, with a cast that brings characters to life in a way that sets a new standard in gaming. The depth of emotion they convey makes you feel deeply connected to the characters, evoking strong feelings of protection, admiration, and even intense emotional responses.

The musical score is also award-worthy, with each boss fight accompanied by thoughtfully crafted orchestral scores that perfectly embody their themes. I've never gotten actual goosebumps from in-game music until I heard Raphael's Final Act in Act 3.

Gameplay is where this game truly shines, with a brilliantly executed turn-based combat system that balances strategy and creative freedom with its dice roll mechanics. If you're a masochist like myself, opt for the 'Honor Mode' where your entire bloody campaign is deleted on a party wipe.

With over 600 hours invested, this game genuinely helped me quit alcohol and weed because every second I'm not sober is less time spent thinking about my next playthrough.

Larian Studios has crafted a monumental achievement in gaming, and in my view, BG3 is unquestionably the game of the decade.

Bravo, Larian Studios!
