I miss this game :(((

This review is going to put aside all the controversy as well as some of the push-back from other studios etc. This is about BG3 itself, not involving politics, social acceptances/unacceptances and social norms, etc. So if you are interested in that type of review that doesn't include all that stuff, keep reading.

NEGATIVES
If you are looking for instant gratification, you won't get it, actually you may not even want to read the rest of this review because it is long and detailed as this game truly deserves it.

Some bugs exist particularly later in the game, you may notice slower dialogue, or scenes that just appear to stop or have awkward pauses in them. It is not unexpected with a game of this scope. With that being said, do yourself a favor and actually read the patch notes. They are actively being worked on and fixed. I myself came across a few particular bugs on I think it was August 6th or 7th and quite literally in the August 8th Hotfix the bugs I came across were fixed.

There are some quests that appear to be broke or contain some misinformation. They are not MAJOR quests or won't result in full on blocks to the story but they are noticeable. Most of the time they appear to sort themselves out but can potentially confuse a player. My suggestion is to use the report feature but don't let it stop you from continuing forward.

Dice rolls, honestly there are times where I feel like the Dice are weighted against the players. I mean 95% chance of success on an attack and you get a Critical Miss (which means you rolled a Nat 1) when that single attack would have ended the encounter if it hit. But now the enemy gets one more turn and manages to take out 2 of your best teammates? Huh?

Skill checks, there seem to be a lot of skill checks that you can outright fail and then have no way of knowing what it was you missed and no way to go on and discover it. This may upset some people as they cannot get the satisfaction of knowing what was there, only knowing that something was there since it was clearly a failed check.

No True Guidance - Take this as a negative if you will. I am posting it here because often times people are always looking for guidance for something. This game does not hold your hand. It provides you with objectives and marks spot on the map for you. It is up to you to decide when you will do it, how you will do it or even if you will do it. With that being said it is certainly possible to lock yourself out of other quests and encounters or parts of the game entirely because of decisions you made. (To my fellow Dark Urge players, you understand.)

Clunky - there are parts of the game that seem to be incredibly sluggish at times, especially if playing for long sessions. I imagine this is being actively worked on but really only starts showing itself in like the middle to later part of Act 3. I have made reports about it myself, but for you performance lovers out there, you may see some performance dips especially later in the game or during long play sessions.

Steam Deck performance - Performance on the Steam Deck is good, however the controls seem to be a little bit clunky. The game runs fine but the controls require some getting used to especially if you are like me and play actively on both the Steam Deck and the PC.

POSITIVES
BG3 is an excellent game that even with 306 hours I still have so much more to do. This game is a COMPLETE product. You pay your money and you get a COMPLETE & FULL experience. No battle-pass, season-pass, yearly-pass, whatever-pass. No content locked behind a Pay-Wall. Nothing. Just a genuine full and complete game like back in the old days when I started gaming almost 25+ years ago.

The amount of work that was put into this game is 100% apparent. The sheer amount of details that the Developers took into consideration when making this game is astonishing. I can't begin to say how many times I have done something out of the box and the game "anticipated" it. The atmosphere in this game truly exhibits a notion of "This is your character, you do what it is you want," and the game acts accordingly. It is not the reverse where you act according to the game.

There is something to be said about the attention to detail that the developers put into Baldur's Gate 3. You can tell it was a labor of love and dedication to a project. Not just some new Title that needed to be released to satisfy a deadline and bring income. The Development Team truly loved creating this and loves continuing work on this project. Just look at the Hotfixes. You can see it if you step back and just think about what must have gone into creating this masterpiece.

The mechanics and gameplay itself are excellent. It isn't "handed" to you, especially in the later acts. You need to think, you need to utilize your brain and take into account all that is going on, who you are up against, etc. etc. You need to author your story. The satisfaction one gets from completing a difficult fight is next level. There is one particular battle that involves a particular soundtrack, that I KNOW will stay with me forever, and that says a lot.

Moving to the next point. The Soundtrack of this game. It is another masterpiece within a masterpiece. The atmospheric scenes created with the sound, the battle music. It is all next level and truly is something so underrated. There have been a number of times where I just stopped, just to listen to the music. Even side-missions like with a particular Bard in a particular grove has an entire cinematic scene dedicated to the music and it is just awe-inspiring. Just stop for a moment and think just how much went into making that one scene. That is the type of love and dedication that the studio put into this game and you just don't often see that anymore.

The World feels alive. You go into a Grove, or you go into a town, and it is bustling with NPCs carrying on their routines, having an argument, fighting, training, commenting on something YOU as a player did because they heard about it but have no idea it was you as it was just a rumor and are having this conversation with another NPC. Just step back an appreciate that and think about how much effort was made for the game to adjust itself to one of the tons of different ways you could have done/accomplished/failed something.

Combat - combat also is rewarding. There are so many different options, use your environment, perhaps you picked up some barrels from the tutorial zone and have been holding onto them since the beginning of the game and decide you want to toss them into the battlefield and detonate them, or maybe you been lugging around some barrels of alcohol that you now want to utilize on the field. Go for it. Maybe you bit off more than you can chew and need to make a tactical retreat. Combat is so dynamic, there is no "set-way" to do something. Your options are numerous. Maybe you do want to just truck through everyone and don't want to think tactically. Sure go right ahead. The mechanics themselves are intricate, with the different damage types, resistances, buffs, debuffs, etc. All within the nature of Dungeon and Dragons.

The Story - it is yours to craft and how you get to the end is up to you. It is detailed, it is interesting, it has its twists and turns that will make you say "no way," "are you serious," "I knew it," and the list goes on and on but you are the one who creates the story.

TLDR
If you are looking for a full and complete game with wonderful music, a studio that cares about their community base and product, great mechanics and an outstanding story that you create with your decisions and you can look past some minor over-sights in a game of this magnitude and slight performance issues that are actively being worked on then Baldur's Gate 3 is for you and you will get your money's worth, with or without any DnD experience.

Marvel Rivals throws your favorite superheroes into a team-based hero shooter, mixing fast-paced FPS action with unique abilities and destructible environments. Playing as Iron Man, Spider-Man, or even Loki is a dream come true, but does the gameplay live up to the hype?

The Good:
✅ Marvel Superhero Power Fantasy: Each character feels true to their comic book counterpart.
✅ Dynamic Team Combos: Synergize abilities for powerful team plays.
✅ Destructible Environments: Change the battlefield by tearing down walls and structures.
✅ Fast & Fluid Gunplay: Matches feel intense and action-packed.

The Bad:
❌ Overwatch Comparisons Are Inevitable: The game plays very similarly to Blizzard’s hero shooter.
❌ Balancing Will Be Key: Some heroes may feel overpowered at launch.
❌ Live-Service Concerns: Will it have enough content and support to thrive long-term?
❌ F2P Monetization Model: Cosmetics and unlockables could be locked behind a grind.

Final
Marvel Rivals is shaping up to be a fun, fast-paced hero shooter with the power of the Marvel universe behind it. If the devs can nail balancing, content updates, and monetization, this could be a serious competitor in the genre.

⭐ 8/10 – Promising, but needs strong post-launch support. ⭐ ⭐ :)

100% Recommended! Best Co-op Experience!

↪ Insanely FUN!
↪ The graphics are stunning
↪ The audio is TOP TIER

If you love co-op games, this is a must-play!
