Baldur's Gate 3

You begin with a parasite lodged behind your eye and a handful of strangers who share the same problem. What follows is a long journey across three acts, shaped by the companions you keep, the conversations you choose and the dice you roll. Few games react so specifically to what the player actually does.

Exploration happens in real time; combat switches to turn-based encounters where height, light, surfaces and the environment all matter. Almost every problem has more than one answer, from persuasion and stealth to throwing a crate at it. The game rewards curiosity and patience over speed.

The full campaign can be played cooperatively online with up to four players, each controlling their own character. On some platforms, split-screen is also available. Shared decisions make for long, memorable evenings.
