Larian Studios presented us with Baldur’s Gate 3 and took our breath away with its beautiful, high-quality writing. Between the exceptionalnarratorand the story-driven plot, the game is chock full of memorable moments that made players laugh, cry, or both at the same time. The game’s cast of voice actors did exceptional work bringing dimension and personality to every character you may meet in the game. This goes for side characters as well as main cast characters. Everyone was wonderfully portrayed.

To top that off, Larian presents the Sword Coast region of the Forgotten Realms to us with astounding graphics. They waste no chance to add depth to the universe, forging for us an incredibly representation of the universally beloved world of Dungeons and Dragons. Baldur’s Gate 3 not only serves to bait long-standing Dungeons and Dragons players into playing, but also draws in players to discover a universe they may never have heard of before!
