This is the best single player RPG I've ever played and it's not even close. Everything is put together masterfully with BG3. You can tell every single aspect of this game has been passionately and thorougly executed to achieve the ultimate dream CRPG! Hats off to Larian studio's for making this incredible game!

Let's talk a little about the soundtrack in this game, the quality and the implementation of the music... Like the composer of the music of BG3 himself Borislav Slavov said in an interview i saw on youtube ''A game can have a really awesome soundtrack, but completely miss on the implementation'' BG3 has both a beautiful soundtrack and a excellent implementation, I don't think I've ever heard a track feel out of place while playing this game, and it really enhances the emotion of the scene/story... The way the combat music dynamically changes up, adds and removes instruments based on what's going on is really awesome! The music will cheer you on after you score a kill that stirs the tide of the battle in your favour with a heroic and more upbeat version of the same combat song and the other way around if you are losing, incredible stuff.

It's a game where your choices really matters, and i've never seen better written characters and dialogue for a video game, and they even record significant voice lines only for 0,1% of the players to hear, and those are definitely not throw away lines. It seems nothing about BG3 was lazy, and it's the result from a incredible team working on their dream project for 6 years.

This type of game genre was definitely not my cup of tea, but my curiousity for this game kept increasing as i heard so much buzz about it and had to find out for myself what it was all about... It was all worth it pushing myself through my discomfort of not zooming through a game and skipping dialogues, i had to force myself to slow down and enjoy every action, engage with the story and it's characters. Over enough time I started to get it all, and I started to feel immersed and now it's one of the best games I've ever played.

A truly remarkable game! Faithful to DnD, and the turn-based combat is really thrilling. It feels like you're playing an amazing interactive movie while you're playing chess! Do not miss out on Baldur's gate 3 before you die.
