The most game of 2023. Despite losing a bit of steam in the final act, the only reason I wanted it to end was to clear out more of my backlog!

This is one of those once-in-a-generation games where beyond the great storytelling and combat, it's a marvel that it works at all. So many character interactions or quests in various levels of completion work together near-flawlessly to the point that it can feel like a real human DM with an amazing memory is running things.

Soon after launch I know a lot of people had technical issues with Baldur's Gate 3, but I played basically start to finish on a Steam Deck and it ran just fine for me, even the notorious Act 3 being fine by the time I got to it in December.
