Even though I don't like some mechanics and especially suddenly opened all altars of Lilith, the main plot of the main campaign and especially cinematographic scenes are really remarkable.

Very atmospheric game, impressive and diverse open world, where I just enjoyed exploring the word. The best Ukrainian game ever.

Highly addictive and stylish city builder.

Great game overall even though there are minor discrepancies with the Rowling's word.

Well, I couldn't pass the mission of escaping from the village. I died hundreds of times, trying different tactics. The difficulty was just normal. Before that I failed every single quest, loosing my reputation in each of them. The combat system is not intuitive. I couldn't understand how to block/attack, ending up just randomly pressing buttons. So no fun, no sense.

The most toxic multi player game I have ever played. Survival mode is interesting and addicting up until other players are involved.

Much improved and simplified version of PoE. Or Grim Dawn with better graphics.
The story is very simple and straightforward though.

Very classic FPS

I do not understand the buzz around the game.

Pros:
* game story is quite rich.
* nice try to recreate D&D world and rules.

Cons:
* Luck takes it all. If you are unlucky with rolls - you loose the whole plot lines or your party dies because you may roll 4 even with advantage.
* A lot of defects. Example #1. One of my fellow is followed by many small spiders. That's nice, but they stuck all the time in trees, terrain and textures. So in the end I keep that fellow in the camp, because it is too exhausting to keep an eye on those spiders. Example #2. My party got caught by a trap, which spits the fire every couple of seconds. It wouldn't be a problem but at the same time a hostile goblin decides to talk. So while dialog continues I literally hear how my party is dying one after another after many fire shots. So eventually when dialog ends the battle begins, 2 team members are dead with 2 failed dead saving throws, 1 is totally dead, because fire damage on fallen hero takes two dead saving throws. There are a lot of smaller defects as constant changing camera mode from player-focus to free mode without your wish.
* Poor gameplay. I prefer actions over a story. This is the opposite example where you need to talk, talk, talk, examine location, talk, talk again, and again, oh finally action!, oh no, talk again and again.
* Poor graphics. The game is very resources demanding. My 3 year old notebook can hold only low graphic quality. As a result BG3 graphics is much worse than 13-years-old Skyrim on ultra high quality setup.
* Boring routines. Replacing a character in the party requires 3 dialogs with two different characters. It lasts for about 15 seconds. But when you do it 10th time... That's exhausting. Also you need often to take staff to/from carriage box and play tetris with your inventory.

Great game! I enjoyed both the story and gameplay.
