While it isn't a perfect game, it is the closest I've seen to one in a long time. With wonderfully written characters whose voice acting makes them feel genuine and honest (or dishonest depending on who), and an intriguing story that keeps you asking questions, all while learning about what is really going on behind the scenes. Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away all the competition and even Larian's own past work with DOS. They have truly honed their formula and created a masterpiece, the love, care and effort that Larian put into making BG3 is clear to see, and it is all the better for it.
