- Epic and captivating story driven by our choices

Unlike the sprawling adventure that will lead us to the legendary city from which the game takes its name, let’s not beat around the bush: Baldur’s Gate III is a true masterpiece. The independents from Larian Studios, to whom we already owe one of the best C-RPGs of all time with Divinity: Original Sin IIbrilliantly take up the torch of this cult license from Bioware which gave the genre its nobility.
Everything in Baldur’s Gate III breathe the love of the universe Dungeons & Dragons and the desire to make us experience an epic, exciting and truly unique story. From the creation of our character to a climactic finale, Larian Studios offers us writing full of nuances with rare accuracy. But, it’s us players, who over dozens of hours of fun ultimately hold the pen of our own story through often difficult choices.
The generosity of Baldur’s Gate III literally sees himself in every corner of a vast world, full of places to explore, captivating characters to meet and fights that continue to grow in complexity and panache, all with a freedom of approach that truly makes you dizzy, almost making us forget that it is not a part of Dungeons & Dragons classic. Even after finishing the adventure with your breath taken away, you only ask for one thing: to go back, despite a sometimes uncooperative interface and the abandonment of any form of social life. The mark of great games, in short.
There will certainly be a before and an after Baldur’s Gate III, for the C-RPG genre which has its new best representative there, but also in the capacities for an independent studio to give a real lesson in what a job well done is, even to the giants of the industry. Larian Studios simply delivers a performance worthy of the highest praise.
