In terms of rpg elements this is by far the best rpg i ve ever played, there are a ton of customizable options for your characters and abilities weapons etc etc, you can do whatever you want. Same goes for the story, you can kill anyone, you can alter the storyline as much as you would like there are a ton of different outcomes and dialogues
The game took me 95 - 100 hours to beat and i never felt i was doing unnecessary filler, everything in this game is quality content
The graphics and cinematics are good. There are a lot of characters that area interesting and very likeable, there are a lot of romance options too.
Turn based combat is not something i was used to however it grew on me and i liked a different prespective on gameplay i never had before. Still, a lot of fights in the game take you around 10 minutes because you gotta wait until everyone takes a turn and yeah, in my opinion this was boring, having to wait so long for almost every fight to finish.
Act 3 of the game has noticeably worse perfomance than the previous ones but that's sensible given that you are in a npc intensive city. Also, the game has glitches but nothing crazy at all. Act 3 is filled with tons of content with intertwining questlines which made the writing of those quests a bit rushed and clumsy compared to the previous acts, but they were still great nonetheless. Finally, the saving system in this game needs some work. Autosave happens every 40 minutes, with no option to make it more frequent. Cross saves between pc and ps5 sometimes work, some other times they dont. Its pretty inconsistent

To summarize baldurs gate 3 is a phenomenal game which every rpg fan and game enthusiast in general should play, the game is near perfect which is amazing considering its massive size. My minor issues are with most fights dragging out, saving system, and that act 3 could have been a tad better writing wise.
