Game review: “Baldur’s Gate 3”

Grant Nelson, Staff Writer

If you are looking for a great role-playing game, I recommend “Dungeons and Dragons: Baldur’s Gate 3.” This game takes place in the forgotten realms, and starts off onboard an alien mind flayers’ ship as dragons and devils attack it.
You are infected with a mind flayer parasite that is growing inside you. As the battle ends with you and your party shipwrecked in the wilderness, you must seek a cure.
The game is a massive open world filled with quests and characters, some of which can join your party and can form bonds with you – even romantic ones. The game allows you to play from the perspective of many races such as elves, dwarves and devil-like tiefling.
“Baldur’s Gate 3” is turn-based and plays the way “Dungeons and Dragons” would play in video-game format. It is filled with all sorts of locations, factions, cultures and races to interact with. The game is also heavily choice and role-play based, with many different outcomes based on your actions.
The game is in beta but it will be out soon, so grab your 20-sided dice and enter a world of magic.
