The D&D RPG looks set to have another successful launch


Baldur's Gate 3 had a great launch last month, and it seems to be getting even better reviews ahead of its PS5 release this week.
It's been over a full month since the release of Baldur's Gate 3 on PC and after getting multiple positive reviews - including our five-star Baldur's Gate 3 review - it's time for the Larian RPG to get a second lease of life, this time on PS5.
As pointed out by the Twitter user below, Baldur's Gate 3's console release has, once again, gone down extremely well - with several top-scoring reviews decorating the game's Metacritic page.

Speaking of Metacritic, if you head on over to the review collecting website, you'll notice that Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 and Baldur's Gate 3 on PC have slightly different overall scores. Both games have impressive Metascores, but surprisingly, the PS5 release has so far come out on top with a 97% score, just 1% higher than the PC release at the time of writing. It's important to remember, though, that this could change since the PS5 edition of the game has only received five critic reviews on the platform, whereas the PC version has 89.
If you just can't wait to get stuck into the RPG when it releases, the good news is that you can pre-load the game now on your PS5 ahead of its launch on September 6 - the very same day as another highly anticipated RPG, Starfield.
In fact, if you pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition of the game, you've actually had early access to Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 since September 2 - there's still time to get in early if you've only just remembered this, though!

only 9 reviews so far but it's looking good

It really is a great game I encourage anyone who likes RPGs to try it out, hell even if you're not sure wait for a sale and get it. I think it's a must-play
I think i will give it a go much further down the line, i still have divine divinity 2 sitting in my back log which i was enjoying, about 10 hours played, and then diablo 4 came along.

need to get back to that sometime, I would imagine the games are very similar in style.

It's a great game loads to explore and to figure out, I haven't seen a lot of the game yet because I tend to reload games for different outcomes, take the wrong turn or just mess up a fight royally by accidentally blowing up barrels.

I'm giving it a 8 out of 10 score, lost a couple points because of the ridiculous amounts of dialogue you kinda have to go through to make sure you don't miss out on anything.

The game is definitely worth every penny.

Doesn’t it run worse in comparison? I know FPS doesn’t matter quite as much in a game like this but people are rarely this understanding for other games.

How is it a PC game if it’s on console? There’s no such thing as a “pc game”.
Well it would certainly work better with a keyboard and mouse. These kinds of games are just far easier to play with that setup. I'm guessing that's what he means.
