Sometimes a game comes out, that just once again shows me how incredibly fun, impactful, and important video games are as an art form, and Baldurs Gate 3 is one of those examples.

I'm a very big DnD nut. Got into it in high school and have been playing all throughout college. The way that TTRPGs allow for unique and personal stories to be told has always enthralled me, and Baldurs Gate takes this to its core. It is DnD in its purest essence, ported over into a video game format. The writing, character choices, freedom of exploration, shit rolls and good rolls, everything is here packed tightly into a 100-hour experience. This is a fully complete game that will keep you busy for quite some time, and it will keep you coming back as you discover more and more secrets the game still has locked behind caverns and closed doors. Larian has made arguably their magnum-opus, and it clearly shows in the care and heart they have put into this game.

This game is a must-buy for any fans of RPGS, DND, or just want to immerse themselves in arguably one of the best-written games ever made.
