I’m on my second playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, and it’s just as captivating as the first—if not more. What stands out the most this time around is how many different aspects of the story surface respect to the first run. The way choices shape not just the main plot but also the relationships and interactions between characters is remarkable. Decisions that seemed minor before now reveal entirely new layers of the world, and I keep finding new details that make the story even richer.

The characters feel incredibly real. Their motivations, their struggles, and even their moments of humor make them some of the best companions I’ve seen in an RPG. The writing is strong, but what really elevates the experience is the phenomenal voice acting. The actors bring so much personality to each character that I genuinely care about their stories.

If there’s one thing that slightly dampens my experience, though, it’s the camera management. In most situations, it’s fine, but during combat—especially when characters are fighting on different elevations—I often struggle to get the right angle. It can be frustrating when I just want to line up a spell or assess the battlefield properly but have to fight against the camera instead.

That said, this is a minor issue in an otherwise outstanding game. The level of detail, the weight of every choice, and the sheer depth of the world make Baldur’s Gate 3 a truly unforgettable RPG.
I’m already looking forward to my next run, impersonating The Dark Urge!

This is a stunning revival of a timeless classic. The enhanced visuals and audio breathe new life into Rapture, making its eerie, art deco world even more immersive. The narrative remains compelling, delving into themes of free will and morality that still resonate deeply. The gameplay, with its mix of strategic combat and environmental interactions, is as engaging as ever. It’s a masterful experience that captivates with its atmosphere, storytelling, and intricate design.

This game, as well as chapter 1, is a true work of art. A masterpiece.
Yes, maybe it's short, but how intense!
Only one thing, perhaps the controls in combat, in Senua's Sacrifice had a better response.

It's like a war party with all your old friends from middle-earth (well, some of them).
Well balanced, not too easy, not too hard, with a lot of different quests.
I like the most that you can build your own armies, carefully crafting your troupes' abilities and conquering Mordor's strongholds, becoming more and more powerful.
I'm really enjoying the game, currently in my top 5.

This is the perfect evolution of that genre called Manic Shooter.
Frenetic beyond imagination.

If you are looking for a game, or the latest marvels of 3D graphics, don't look here.
But, if you are looking for a sensorial (visual and auditory) experience, a lysergic trip into the abyss, then this is for you.
Put your headset on, sit tight, follow the simple instructions the voice gives to you, look around and enjoy the trip, you'll be stunned!
Of course it has a defect. It is too short, but it's also cheap, so it's OK to me.

This game is a perfect example of a very well made VR game.
Graphics is top, the world looks real, you can interact with almost everything.
Enemies are tough and you have to use your brain to stay alive.
Even Barnacles, the most stupid enemies can look huge and scary, seen in reality.
If you like the total immersion of VR and the Half Life world, this is game you can't miss.
And Russel is lovely!

This game is awesome!
Yes, there are bugs, but so far none of those I've encountered stopped me from enjoying the game.
The world is huge, with tons of side missions and a lot of places to explore and things to do.

Same exciting atmosphere of the original HL, but with a more modern look.
Music is awesome!

After having played all the previous (non VR) episodes, I think this is a very enjoyable game.
The teleporting accommodates the need of moving fast around sceneries and monsters, without experiencing any VR-sickness at all.
I remember 25 years ago, playing Doom on my 486 was mind-blowing,
I also remember, watching The Lawnmower Man movie, thinking "It would be amazing trying such an experience, living a game like Doom in a sort of virtual reality."
Today that dream has come true and I can experience a total, thrilling immersion in that same breathtaking sick world of Doom, 25 years later, and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love it.
