Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Studios, is a masterpiece that stands as a testament to modern RPG gaming. The game takes players on an immersive journey through the iconic Forgotten Realms setting, delivering an extremely satisfying experience.

Character Customization:
One of the standout features of Baldur's Gate 3 is its detailed character customization system. From the moment you start the game, you're presented with many options to shape your character's appearance, race, class, abilities, and backstory. Allowing players to truly create a character that feels unique and personal. The customization options not only affect your character's appearance but also greatly influence their interactions and story progression.

Enriched Story and Characters:
The storytelling in Baldur's Gate 3 is nothing short of great. If you are away with the forgotten realms then you know the world is full of political intrigue, supernatural forces, and moral dilemmas. The narrative is both grand in scope and intimate in detail, drawing players into the struggles of their characters. Each companion you encounter has their own motivations, backstories, and arcs that develop organically as you progress. The writing is masterfully crafted, with complex characters that evoke genuine emotions. Players find themselves deeply invested in the fates of these virtual companions, forming bonds that make you truly care for them. (karlach is mommy and shadowheart must be protecc). This emotional engagement makes the choices and consequences in the game all the more impactful, leading to a truly immersive experience.

Freedom of Choice
Baldur's Gate 3 sets a new standard for player agency in modern RPGs. So much so that other AAA game developers are unhappy about it. The game grants players a remarkable level of freedom in both gameplay and narrative decisions. From deciding how to approach encounters to choosing allies and shaping alliances, the game world reacts dynamically to your choices. Larian Studios has embraced the player-driven narrative philosophy, resulting in a living world that adjusts to your decisions. The branching storylines and multiple paths encourage replayability, allowing players to experience the game in different ways with each playthrough. The depth of choice extends beyond dialogue and plot, encompassing combat tactics, exploration, and the application of various skills.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a must play game and a great introduction to Faerûn.

Hellblade offers a not only stunning visuals and a rich story, but the highest quality of audio ive ever heard in a game. Necessary with the voices you will hear consistently throughout the game (which has the options to be turned off if you are sensitive to them). This game is a must play with headphones.
I suggest playing with a controller as well.


Pros

•Immersive gameplay with no UI setup.
•Absolutely beautiful graphics.
•Combat always keeps you on your feet with sort of a simpler Dark souls-esk style.
•Puzzles never get repetetive and will make you want to keep playing to see what leads behind that next door.
•About 6-8 hours of gameplay.

Cons

• Minor, barely noticable bugs that sometimes happens with camera movement.
• Certain puzzles might take a bit to figure out without walkthroughs.
• Some 'character models' ruin the immersion, imo (you'll know what I mean). Though its not that bad, and makes it unique in a sense.


This next feature can be a Pro or Con depending on the user. There is Permanent Death. This pushes youself to win every single fight. Although there is a way to back up your saves C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\HellbladeGame\Saved\SaveGames.
There is leeway for you to fail a few times before Perma-death. I was able to finish the game without a backup, so I dont think its too difficult to accomplish.

I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a dark, story driven game.

Highly recommend this game to anyone into exploration and survival-esque indie games. Very beautiful planets.

-Very pretty
-Unique base building/survival system
-MULTIPLAYER
-Weather system

-Very buggy since it is in Pre-alpha
-Fps issues for people with lower end computer (friends games lag with lots of trees fall, etc.
-Trucks are extremely buggy when attached to eachother, mine litterally flew into space and never came back.
-I've fallen through the earth many times

It is in pre-alpha and so far the game is great. Really looking forward to future updates. ( creatures? :] )

Fun game to play with friends
