There is a lot of attention on Baldur's Gate 3 at the time of writing this, and rightfully so! But, it shouldn't overshadow what Larian accomplished with their previous game here. This is an excellent RPG that provides the player with a fair amount of flexibility in how to proceed through the game. All of the pre-made characters have interesting stories to follow, and you can choose to main them or create your own avatar for the experience. There's a pretty robust set of skills and abilities based on what your party members specialize in, and the combat allows for different strategies based on what you're armed with and what the environment gives you. The story also takes place in a vibrant world with lots of side content and people to interact with. It's absolutely worth checking out if you're into turn-based RPGs.
