Baldur's Gate 3 is without a shred of doubt one of the best games I've played in my life. Period. Why however? Well...

There's just too much to even say. Where do I even begin?

In simplest regards it excels in almost every aspect of the game, from the integration of its combat from 5e tabletop to the narrative points, Origin characters, interactions with the world itself and the sheer depth and detail in each corner bringing life to the mystical world of Faerun. There's moments where you'll be shocked at just how much that thought of in regards to player choices and your interaction(and exploitation) of its mechanics. It reflects on the past entries of the same name and bring new life all the same. The music is phenomenal, its beautifully faithful, and man it solidified Larian Studios once again as a studio I will place all my faith into. Divinity Original Sin: 2 was already amazing, but to produce something like this, with such a grandiose scale and so many expectations... and to blow it out of the park? We've become all too familiar with games coming out.. unfinished and painfully mediocre but Baldur's Gate 3 time from early access to full launch is something else.

What problems it does have, and of course, inevitable bugs with a game of its size takes absolutely nothing away from it at all in the end.

If you're an RPG fan and even remotely like turn-based games, you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing this game. Yes, that is how good Baldur's Gate 3 really is. Its a perfect video game with flaws. This is what it means to have a passionate team that truly cares about making a good game first and foremost, and will do anything to achieve that.
