Baldur's Gate 3 is such a long game, and each person will have a unique experience while playing through the campaign. That's the game's magic, and that's also why I'm not even going to attempt to do a long, detailed review of the game. I'm not someone who necessarily vibes with the combat in Baldur's Gate 3- I prefer things to be faster pace, and a bit more forgiving to the occasional incorrect input. However, that's not stopping me from being extremely positive on Baldur's Gate 3. The main reason why I love it so much, and probably the best thing I can say about it, is that it respects your time and decisions more than any game I've ever played. Companies like Telltale blew up by creating games that give you the illusion of choice; you pick between option 1 and option 2, but the ultimate outcome is essentially the same regardless of your choice. Baldur's Gate doesn't do crap like that. You will make decisions 2 hours into this game, that will impact quests and stories 50 hours into the game. Your decisions will impact who lives, who dies, who you're allied with, etc. This expands out on such a scale that there isn't 1 or 2 different outcomes, there are hundreds, probably thousands of different outcomes to thousands of different scenarios. If you and 24 of your friends all play this campaign, you'll all have wildly different experiences across the entire game; that's not something you can say about other games that have sold themselves on "player choice/agency". This same respect translates to exploring the world; you're rewarded with unique weapons, spells, character interactions, etc. The respect Larian has for your choices and exploration, combined with the brilliant characters and voice acing make Baldur's Gate 3 an unforgettable experience that is extremely replayable.

Highly Recommended
