RELATED: Baldur's Gate 3: The Best Settings For The Steam Deckĭeep customization, a fully-realized world, and flexible storytelling are just a few of the game's strengths, and they are really just the tip of the iceberg. Baldur's Gate 3 not only leaps over this bar but also confidently carves a new path that sets it apart from everything that came before it, at least in the D&D franchise.

BioWare's original two games are still regarded as some of the greatest RPGs of all time, and they set a bar that seemed almost impossible for a sequel to surpass. Although the franchise has remained somewhat active thanks to enhanced editions and spin-offs like Dark Alliance, Baldur's Gate's last mainline entry came out in 2000, with its expansion debuting a year later.

Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 launched in Steam early access in 2020, and the developer used this time wisely.
