My half-orc character was lost in the Underdark with his party. We went left and encountered a Beholder, we went right and found a pack of Minotaurs. Ngl, we went right...

A simple choice out of many that can drastically shape your story and party in this game. I've spent less then a day playing but can already say that this is not just a Dungeons n' Dragons game, this is THE Dungeons n' Dragons Game. An absolute gem of an RPG that I havent seen since back when The Elder Scrolls Skryim or Dragon Age Origins first dropped, and to be honest this game has already surpassed that milestone in my opinion.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a fully safe buy and a victory for not just RPG fans but gamers everywhere. There is no battle packs, no mandatory DLC's, no piece of the wardrobe or abilities locked behind a paywall, or monthly subscription fees. You buy the game, download it, and play it. Simple as that. The whole play-through is nothing but just pure, genuine, player-driven story, battle, and some good old fashioned F-U-N.

This game even goes the extra mile and offers support for Multiplayer AND Mods. So even if your not a fan of DND or RPG's in general, and even with the $60 something price tag, I would still whole-heartily recommend it a place on the shelf of GOAT favorites.

A quest was given, a journey taken, and they absolutely knocked it out of the realm!

10/10 Will definitely be playing this one again.

In a alternate timeline of an Earth firmly caught up in the dawn of industrialization and steam power, then suddenly thrown into utter chaos by an extinction level event of climate change, brought about through mysterious means (not gonna spoil it). The world quickly falls to the new endless Ice Age-like winter known as "The Great Frost" with most if not all of the known world slowly devolving into a frozen, lifeless wasteland.
Entire cities are lost and countless perish at the hands of the endless winter. Humanity now standing on the brink of frozen extinction, makes one final attempt to save itself by building several massive industrial generators, capable of fueling the remnants of civilization and staving off the merciless cold, at several locations throughout the very few habitable places left on the planet.
This is where you step in to lead one of those several groups of ragged survivors as they attempt to endure the brutal Great Frost and prevent the downfall of humanity. An imposing and interesting task to say the least.

Whilst many may embrace this task with optimism, the reality of a endless winter and ever evolving stability of your people can quickly become overwhelming as the days tick by and resources become scarcer, food growing harder to come by, along with illness and frostbite becoming much more lethal as daily temperatures into the negatives become the norm. Your people also play a huge role in the win or lose of your settlement as a citizens mind breaking from overwork, loss of hope, or stress can be just as deadly as starvation or frostbite to your towns survival. With what was once a hope for the future devolving into a dark and bitter fight for survival as you and your people cling to life in the midst their gaint snowcone of a planet.

It actually took me several tries just to win a single scenario, with a good range of mechanics and stuff going on in the backround it really helps the replayablity value and helps with a player driven story of adaptability. For me it was my coal miners who saved us. Around 70 simple working class chaps from old london. Working alongside a steam powered automatron in the mines to feed the ever hungry generator. Working emergency shifts with long hours, suffering through the cold until the egg heads in the workshop came up with the steam hubs, dealing with the discontent and panic on the streets as rogue partisans openly challenge the city guard, the miserable rations of soup and meat from the kitchens as refugees poured in. Although paid in food and led by a hand picked foreman, their greatest deed came with the Great Storm. When those loyal chaps would selflessly continue on even whilst outside temperatures where under -100F, even when their comrades fell dead in front of them in the snow still they shuffled on beside the weathered little automatron. Groups of miners even sacrificing themselves to the cold in depths of the mine in order to prevent the total collapse of the coal mines as wood and metal alike froze then shattered like glass under the weight of its stone in the final throes of the great storm. At such a point all that could be done was to huddle in whatever place of warmth one could find whilst shoveling fuel into the generator fires but even that was starting to fail....until finally FINALLY, the intensive cold broke, the howling of the wind ceased and the sun broke through once more. Those miners gave their lives one by one to keep the heart of the city beating and everyone elses along with it. With each one of our fallen given a hero's burial before heading down to the public house for a good bit of drink and pit matches in celebration of their life. Of course the kids are kept to the school shelters to learn the ways of medicine and the guards swear there is a quadramputee walking around the city somewhere more machine than man.. Why? Cuz thats just how we do it in New London.

Oh Artyom...Always such a good little ranger of the Order. Doing as your told, following orders, protecting your people, and never relenting upon those who would threaten you. But what will you do I wonder, when fate comes to bear and there are no orders to follow but your own? What will you do when the fate of your entire species, your Metro, is completely in the hands of someone you once called enemy? When those snakes you thought friends reveal their true intentions and seemily become more dangerous then even the twisted monsters of the surface world. Would you risk your own survival and that of your Metro on something you do not fully understand? Something no longer human...if it ever was? Why don't you give it a play and find out? ;)

Despite being a clear work in progress and having some ideas that still are not fully forged, I find this a surprisingly entertaining game. While its not tremendously replayable, it is sure to offer hours and hours of inside info on what exactly goes on with those little, green plastic army guys when nobody is home. Throw your pesticides and poisons right out the window people! These boys are the real bug zappers...

Literally the only game I have downloaded and uninstalled in less than 2 hours of playing it...
Better off going with the Ps4 version. It's alot less f*cked but even then its only slightly better then cancer. Feel like I would rather watch some paint dry than touch this steaming pile of turd again.

I cannot fail, I WILL not fail. The blight must be stopped or the world will be consumed by this evil. We are the first and last line of defense for this realm. Failure is not an option.
So grab some a$$ and wet your blades boys and girls, We got darkspawn to kill!

Year 1, Day 1- The Kerbal race celebrates the commissioning of their first ever unified space program. The frontier of space was open for kerbals everywhere and a new age had dawned. (Plus now we can see if Minmus was truly made of the tasty treats and snacks the kerbals had dreamed of) Even now a hastily prototype ship was being built with intent on shooting Jebediah Kerman into orbit around their homeworld.

*Meanwhile in the Jool system on a undisclosed moon, an eerie and ominous voice rings out across the surface and into the cold void of space*

This day let no joyful voice be heard! Let no Kerbal gaze up to the stars with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake....THE KRAKEN!!!

10/10 would play with mods again (Trust me its soooooo worth it!)

Wanna know the secret to an epicness overdose of the fallout world? MODS! Any problem I have found with this game (absent the hardcoded glitches every so often) I found I was able to fix with mods. Vanilla Fallout 4 is really bare bones and kinda boring after about 30 or so hours. This is why there is a mods button in the main menu of the game even. It allows you to shape the post-apocalyptic world to how you would envision a deadly, horribly irradiated wasteland. Add on a few of the DLC's and gg to life.

Oh sh*t, radiation storm is blowing in guys! You know the deal, Gas Masks on!

A tired and weary man drags himself up onto a beach, crawling up onto his knees in the sand. The scans indicated this was the only land for miles on this gods forsaken planet but he was just happy to of gotten out of that shuttle crash alive. What could be strong enough to decimate a ship like the Aurora? No matter, there are more important things to worry about at the moment. He went to stand up and walk further up the beach but as he stood his blood went cold. Further up the beach on a large rock where scrawled words that ,even at this distance, where clearly visible. The knife used to do it lay in the sand in front of it.

Spent the last 3 hours constantly getting yelled at over a radio to go help people I dident care about nor had any relivance to our survival. I was already full up of survivors from the other endless fetch quests they had me running around on. To cap it all off I tripped over a hay bale runnng from the zombie equivilant of the Hulk and watched my guy get ripped apart......again.

Storymode is good

Breakout is terrible

Only bother playing this if you enjoy being treated like a dog told to go fetch an expired newspaper every 5 minutes

5/10 overall
