Whether you choose peace or something less savory, Baldur’s Gate 3’s intricate writing and impressive emphasis on experimentation make it one of the most unforgettable games in the genre.","2025-03-26T07:57:06.855447-04:00",{"id":805,"logo":817,"name":818,"slug":819,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":820,"youtube":821,"facebook":822,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":823,"website_url":824,"score_format":32,"average_score":46,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":825,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":291,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis",{"id":827,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":828,"author":829,"original_score":32,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":836,"review_date":837,"summary":838,"created_at":839,"updated_at":839,"author_id":830,"last_edited_at":839,"outlet":840},134630,143,{"id":830,"bio":26,"name":831,"avg_score":832,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":833,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":834,"claim_token":26,"article_count":835,"claimed_by_user_id":26},11087,"Travis Bruno",77.95180722891567,"2025-04-25T12:15:09.512332-04:00","2025-05-27T18:40:42.131921-04:00",581,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.capsulecomputers.com.au\u002F2023\u002F08\u002Fbaldurs-gate-3-review\u002F","2023-08-15","Baldur’s Gate III is a rare masterpiece of an RPG with an engrossing storyline, stellar character interaction, and level of choice that makes it a must play for anyone interested in the genre.","2025-04-25T13:04:17.919996-04:00",{"id":828,"logo":841,"name":842,"slug":843,"tags":26,"bluesky":844,"twitter":845,"youtube":26,"facebook":846,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":847,"website_url":848,"score_format":32,"average_score":106,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcapsule-computers-logo.jpg","Capsule Computers","capsule-computers","@capsulecomputers.bsky.social","@capsulecomputer","CapsuleComputers","Capsule Computers is a global independent media site that aims to be the best in delivering news about video games, entertainment, pop culture and anime.

Its complexity is intimidating, but sticking with it and learning has such a high reward threshold that it's hard to not recommend the sequel to even the most casual gamers out there. It has heart, it has style, and it has the multi-year effort of a studio that obviously loves its source material. The mind-blowing size of the game itself and everything contained within is a testament to Larian Studios' dedication to its craft and commitment to bringing something incredible to the gaming public. The blend of the various Dungeon & Dragons systems into the game is almost flawless in its execution, and the math and storytelling combo does a one-two punch on almost every other RPG game out there. High quality and astoundingly fun, Baldur’s Gate 3 may just become the kind of game that old and new fans can agree is something extraordinary.","2025-01-26T15:28:49.959865-05:00",{"id":374,"logo":1205,"name":1206,"slug":1207,"tags":442,"bluesky":26,"twitter":1208,"youtube":1209,"facebook":1208,"mastodon":1210,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1211,"website_url":1212,"score_format":32,"average_score":546,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":1213,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGame-Rant-Logo.png","Game Rant","game-rant","GameRant","@GameRant","","Game Rant launched as an online gaming publication in 2009, and we're now a leader in gaming news, reviews, analysis, community discussions, and gaming guides.","https:\u002F\u002Fgamerant.com\u002F","editorial@gamerant.com",{"id":1215,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":910,"author":1216,"original_score":704,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":1222,"review_date":10,"summary":1223,"created_at":1224,"updated_at":1224,"author_id":1217,"last_edited_at":1224,"outlet":1225},65484,{"id":1217,"bio":26,"name":1218,"avg_score":1219,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":1220,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":1221,"claim_token":26,"article_count":496,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2056,"Jack Coleman",79.16666666666667,"2024-12-02T11:20:52.808933-05:00","2026-04-24T20:06:16.58637-04:00","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dualshockers.com\u002Fbaldurs-gate-3-review\u002F","Baldur's Gate 3 is an excellent game and a worthy successor.

Not everything needs to be nearly this big and ambitious, or even this dense. But it is a landmark moment in the genre, and if I had to point to one paragon that I would like everyone else making these to take inspiration from, this is absolutely it. I waited 14 years for the stars to align again so that we could get the ideal mix of crunchy, tactical, old-school RPG combat, an epic and well-written story with complex characters and lots of meaningful choices, and a level of polish and cinematic presentation that let me see the sweat and the sorrow on characters' faces in their darkest hours. Plenty of other games have partially completed that list, but the last time they all came together was Dragon Age: Origins in 2009. And I can finally say that game, and its Infinity Engine predecessors, have a worthy successor that’s not just matched their RPG greatness, but surpassed it. Baldur’s Gate 3 is just about everything I could have asked for.","2025-02-06T09:11:23.942042-05:00","2025-02-06T11:06:36.2819-05:00",{"id":31,"logo":1269,"name":1270,"slug":1271,"tags":512,"bluesky":1272,"twitter":1270,"youtube":1273,"facebook":1270,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1274,"website_url":1275,"score_format":32,"average_score":77,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":107,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":291,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","ign","ign.com","@IGN","We're all about video games, movies, TV, and comics!","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F"]
