Bg3 is a good game, but overrated. Still better than that garbage D4 thiugh that's a low bar to pass.

Armored Core… from the studio behind ELDEN RING. Just a barely heard of studio, nbd.

Diablo 4… from Blizzard, just a small time no name indie studio.

It’s still number 3 on global charts behind CSGO and Armored Core lmao

Yea, there's a line between saying "it has some issues" to "it's overrated and falling out of favor". Yikes. Overwhelming positive with hundreds of thousands of players? That's unheard of on Steam.

Are popping up too, i think bg3 is overrated due to the hate on AAA

It is a great game larian can be proud but is it 10/10, id say nope

I think its overwhelmingly posative because of how poor games have been recently

Story is give a
4/10 - felt 100% predictable would have been a 5 or 6 if larian didnt bring back wo many bg1/2 characters, they didnt feel well done imo and just shoe horned to say look we are baldurs gate!

Music 8/10 amazing tracks love loved the one song in house of hope, would have been a 10 if the music made me feel as emotional as bg2 sound track or when naruto soundtrack starts playing, or final fantasy music, iv never played everquest 2 but i was listening to the music yesterday and it instantly made me feel wow i could feel the emotion behind the music, bg3 didnt have that

Ui/char control 3/10 i put this as a 3 just because of toilet chain, but the ui is beautiful if impracticle the portrait art is good and larian almost got it right

But controlling your party is a mess, bg2 had spells in a little spell icon, larian chose a hotbar mess of everything for some reason, its a mess its not good, bg3 is good regardless of this ui not because of it, and char control is poorer for it


Actual enjoyment 8/10 i enjoyed the journey the combat all the way up to the end, then was left with disappointment its why its not a 9/10

Is bg3 a great game ? Imo yes, is it overwhelming positive good nope its about the same as cyberpunk, although i liked cyberpunks endings better they at least felt finshed (and i played cyberpunk a year after its release so it had time to get rid of a lot of the jank)



I think when all the cut content is back , if the ui and char controls got a bg2 rework

I think it could be a 9/10 (sorry i find larians writers cringy and predictable so im probably always going to rate it slightly lower then other people do) , atm i think its a 7 at best, so yeah for these reasons i agree with overrated, even though its still a great game
