Baldur's Gate 3 is Larian Studios' party-based RPG built on Dungeons & Dragons rules with turn-based combat. Players control a character infected by a mind flayer parasite, racing to stop the transformation while navigating deep character creation, dialogue choices that branch in nearly every scene, and remarkably flexible storytelling. The game earned widespread critical and player acclaim on its 2023 release, winning numerous Game of the Year awards, and supports both single-player and online co-op for up to four players.
