Larian Studios' juggernaut RPG continues its win streak with another coveted accolade, rising to the top of another fiercely contested category.
Beating off some top competition to the tippy-top spot of PC gaming, Baldur’s Gate 3 is your most desired desktop delight, wowing with its choice-laden quests, endearing characters, and Dungeons & Dragons DNA.
You’ve perhaps read our five-starBaldur’s Gate 3 reviewbefore now, but it’s worth quoting our writer, Senior News Editor Ali Jones, as he bills the sprawling role-player as “a new gold standard for RPGs”.
More than that, Ali says: “Baldur’s Gate 3 is the most successful and authentic take on D&D in the tabletop franchise’s 50-year history. Its complexity and size might be daunting for novices, but the breadth and depth of Baldur’s Gate 3’s world make this a once-in-a-generation achievement.”
It’s hard to argue with any of that, and while Baldur’s Gate 3 has its own dedicatedPS5playerbase (and is still expected to land onXbox Series Xand S before the end of the year), part of what makes this PC Game of the Year nod so fitting is the time the game spent growing in Early Access beforehand.
