solid 9/10

just finished my first play through of this game and honestly. its amazing. im at a loss for words for how thorough and just genuinely impressed the developers were with this game. i have never really been into turn based games or even anything DnD related. but their take on this game was just fantastic. i fell in love with the character design and all the minor things you could do with your party members and in the open world. from the social interactions, to being able to dye your armor colors, the emotional depth you feel on your throws, the connection you build with your character and parties all throughout the game. ive genuinely been missing out on a single player game for so long to play, since i usually am just playing competitive shooters etc. this is my mark at 121 hours and end of my first run. this was amazing, and has truly left me starstruck. oh and the soundtracks have been one of the most amazing parts of this game. they truly get you in sync with literally whatever you are doing. when youre fighting it increases the intensity, your sneaking it makes you really feel like a rogue, even if youre just sitting idle and on your phone or something it is truly music to the ears.

SPOILER the only real big complaint i have is the end of act 3 when fighting the netherbrain. in act 2 and 3 they make you go around and gather your allies for the final fight of the absolute and when it comes down to actually doing the fighting summoning them after doing the questlines/throws in dialogue made it feel extremely underwhelming. it might just be my pov having no prior background to games like this but summoning one creature at a time per turn just felt super meh whereas the winged horror just uses one move to summon like 15 extra fighting targets. i just feel like its just a missed opportunity to spin it into the "war" aspect like how it was leading up to with all that prior preparation.

SPOILER 2 my only other complaint was the lack of freedom post game. i just really wish after i finally finished catching up with party members the world would have opened back up to an open world to see how baldurs gate was healing. i was interested in visiting the higher area of baldurs gate to see what that was like and what was there since when you try to go it forces you to turn around. or even the option to go back to previous areas like act 1 and act 2. what is going on in the grove? how are they fairing? when you mess up with halsin, how is he doing in the shadowlands? why cant i talk to shadowhearts parents even after having them live? why cant i go back and talk to duke ravenguard? even then, all of your party members break off into their own adventures and i did read online there was not going to be a baldurs gate 4 or any upcoming dlc. it just kinda sucks youre on the adventure with whomever you romanced/buddied with but dont really get to experience it. i chose lae'zel as my partner because i was interested in freeing the githyanki and wanted to destroy vlaakith but you just dont get to do that. so it just kinda falls short in that aspect.

genuinely speaking, this is the most fun ive had on a game in years. everything felt great to play. only minor issues with keybinds due to me playing on a PS5 controller but past that not much issue. this might be one of my favorite games of all time.

edit: the dlc is freaking amazing. i got stuck for awhile but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was it one of the most fun things i had done in awhile.

I F*****G LOVE SPIDERMAN. LITERALLY MIND NUMBING AND JUST SOMETHING TO ENJOY BY MYSELF. NOT REALLY INTO STORY GAMES BUT GOD I LOVE IT.

ill give it 9/10 bc gameplay isnt too bad and its really fun to stream and relax with
