A game worth buying right now is a masterpiece of gaming – Baldur’s Gate 3. Developed and published by Larian Studios, this game is threatening the major studios in that Baldur’s Gate 3 is complete from day one.
The game is literally Dungeons and Dragons in video game format, from combat mechanics choices being driven by a roll 20 system, massive amounts of role playing and stories based around the players choices.
The game allows you to play as from anything including an elf, dwarf, dragon-born and many more classic Dungeons and Dragons races.
Set in the Forgotten Realms, the game takes you and your party across the lands of Faerun as you battle demons, dragons and Orks and fight to save the world from the evil alien mind flyers. The story is very dark, and focuses on stopping the world from being enslaved and infected by mind flayers and there is sense that hard choices will have to be made to save the world.
The game has a great cast of side characters you can play as or form relationships with. There is even real multiplayer that allows friends to play their own campaigns together.
In terms of mechanics, the games features the rules of the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons turned into video game format. For instance you, can wage war and wipe out the goblins or try and create a peace treaty between them and the villagers.
The game is so much more than combat but also tactics and growing your skills. The story is amazing and can feature dozens of different endings. The game has great adult humor, so it is not a game for little children.
