The result is the masterpiece that exists today: a multi-award-winning game in fine form, and the Golden Joystick Awards 2023's PC Game of the Year. With just shy of three years in the pre-full launch development oven, Baldur's Gate 3 is a shining example of Early Access done right – where Larian's dedicated community itself helped shape the road to release with continuous feedback. Customize look and feel, save and share wheels. Enter names and spin the wheel to pick a random winner. It's hard to argue with any of that, and while Baldur's Gate 3 has its own dedicated PS5 playerbase (and is still expected to land on Xbox Series X and S before the end of the year), part of what makes this PC Game of the Year nod so fitting is the time the game spent growing in Early Access beforehand. The setting of a random rotation is not visible to the naked eye as it happens when the wheel is spinning quite fast. Its complexity and size might be daunting for novices, but the breadth and depth of Baldur's Gate 3's world make this a once-in-a-generation achievement.'
More than that, Ali says: 'Baldur's Gate 3 is the most successful and authentic take on D&D in the tabletop franchise's 50-year history.
