Disappointing
I like BG1 and BG2, and I have played through them many times, as well as IWD1, IWD2 and similar games. I had really high hopes for this one, but I find it extremely underwhelming. The animations, details and colors are all over the place, not in a good way, making the game unnecessary graphically complex and hostile. The gameplay is slow and unsatisfying, and camera angles and general visbility terrible. I can appreciate the efort the developers put into this game, but I have rarely seen a game that suits me less.
I have heard many good reviews of the game, but in me the general way how BG3 is played creates a feeling of disgust and remorse (for ever buying it).
If you liked BG1 and BG2 two decades ago, but would not consider playing them now - this is a game for you.
If you liked BG1 and BG2 two decades ago, and would gladly go for one more playthrough of these old games, BG3 is probably not for you. All you'll get is remorse and frustration
