Since yesterday afternoon Baldur’s Gate 3 is available for PC via Steam. While the praises are piling up, the RPG from Larian Studios makes long-established AAA’s look old. However, there are also a few points of criticism.
Bombastic, there’s hardly any other way to describe the release of Baldur’s Gate 3. Since yesterday’s release, the RPG from Larian Studios is one of the top 3 played titles on Steam in the last 24 hours.
But the title can not only shine with the masses, but also in the class. So 90.08% of the over 80,000 reviews are positive. The reviews published on Metacritic so far also fit this positive picture.
Many call the sequel to the 20-year-old D&D title a masterpiece and are pleased that it manages without the modern monetization methods. Because Battle Pass, in-game stores and other microtransactions are looked for here in vain.
Even though the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 went smoothly on the whole, there are a few problems. For example, a bug prevents many fans from manually saving Fortunately, developer Larian is already working on the problem and has sent, for example IGN an initial guide to solving the problem.
Over six years more than 400 developers have worked on Baldur’s Gate 3 and impressively proved: A properly implemented RPG can excite the masses, especially if you forgo unpopular monetization. The concept of “old school gaming” is still a recipe for success, so Baldur’s Gate 3 should continue to excite the gaming community for a long time to come.
On September6 Baldur’s Gate 3 launches in release on the PlayStation 5.Those who pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition can get started as early as September3 .
