One of the best games i've ever played in my entire life. In terms of gameplay and replayability, probably, the best.
When i first started playing the game i didn't really like it because i was unfamiliar with this genre in general and started palying tactics which was really challenging and kind of stopped me from fully enjoying the game. But then i switched to balance mode, finished act 1 and then returned to tactics.
Gameplay and variability in dialogues are the pillars of strength for this game. It gives you absolute freedom how you are going to play. You finish the game and then start it second or even third time and you can still go completely different route. There is a also a dark urge route which has it's unique dialogues. If we compare Gameplay and variability to other top-tier games, like, for example, Mass Effect, we can clearly see that BG3 is much stronger in this regard, although the main plot and lore is somewhat inferior to ME series.
There are different classes, each one unique in it's gameplay, and you can even combine them into smth new. The presence of a d20 cube gives the game a special charm because every fight, robbery and dialogue can follow the way you didn't expect even if you increase the probability of the desired outcome through loot and skills. This becomes escpecially interesting on honours mode where you can't savespam and only have one life through entire game.
Locations are top (especially Cursed Lands and House of Hope) and you can clearly see that people who developed BG3 really tried hard to make them enjoyable and memorable. Quests are also top-tier and not just mandatory to the plot.
Some soundtracks are amazing and provide you with a cool atmosphere while playing.
Characters are not so much interesting compared to ME series. I only come to like Raphael in the story and to a lesser extend Mizora. Everyone else is pretty much average. Although some companions can have a serious development throughout the story, the best example of which are Shadowheart and Laezel, they are certainly lacking compared to Liara and Tali from ME series.
All in all this is a truly breathtaking game which appears once in a blue moon and i highly recommend playing it.
10/10
