You know, I walked into Baldur's Gate 3 almost begging for it to not somehow live up to the insane levels of hype it has received, just so there was something I could talk about that wasn't just me saying what literally everybody else has been saying. But nope, Baldur's Gate 3 really is that fucking unbelievable; a game of such scope and scale that it makes every other RPG quake in it's boots.

A beautiful hodge podge of stuff in here too numerous to count. The dynamic (and uniformly great) character stuff in here is the highlight as you shape these characters from the ground up, and the freedom you have in terms of navigating the purposefully simple tale is the whole appeal. Appreciate that it carries over many of the quirks from the first two BioWare entries too - from it's clever sidequests to it's balls hard difficulty at points. What a fucking game.
