Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the best Roleplaying games I have ever played, it has such a strong overall package that it fires on all cylinders with the kind of RPG you get once every generation.
Gameplay is simply put peerless among its genre, the turnbased battle system is one of the best ever put into a video game, the interactivity and flexibility in gameplay is unrivaled and makes replaying it so much fun, rich with rpg mechanics, pleasing with its smooth animations, interesting with its multiple ways to solve problems, puts the game design at the top.

World design is phenomenal, each dungeon, area, encounter, act has a varied environment with distinct art style, visuals and theme, exploration is worthwhile and rewards you with unique handcrafted content, enemy and boss variety is top tier, puzzles are neat and engaging, lots of secrets to uncover, lots of optional content well hidden and well designed.

Music is soothing to my ears, the soundtrack is great, tons of memorable tracks and songs.
Voice acting is top of the line, with characters like Astarion, Khethric, Raphael and the narrator being on top of their game

Presentation is top tier among isometric rpgs and provides engaging cutscenes that make you feel you are closer to the characters and allows you to see them as more relatable and more humane, great graphics too.
Great writing that feels reactive, fun, engaging and interesting with tons of memorable and cool quests to tackle, characters to meet and lore to dig into, dialogue that is so rich that it will be hard to have the same lines if you do a 2nd playthrough, there will always be new lines to react to how you play.
Beautiful looking art style for environments and characters, from green looking forests to underground mystical looking areas to dark twisted lands, to volcanic dungeons and huge cities it will never feel dull.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece that will stay on my PC for a long loong time.
