I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 now on a Linux PC with a controller. I have a PS5 and have DOS on the PS4. Larian Studios does quality games and goes beyond what I expected in quality. The PS5 controller works great with the game.
Is the game that good? Should I get it?
From what I've played of the early access, it's a pretty amazing game. It's a lot like the Divinity: OS games, or handles similar to Dragon Age: Origins or Shadowrun. It has a lot of flexibility in how you handle encounters and situations, and the combat is challenging but fun and rewarding. The dialogue is top tier, and rewards paying attention to what's going on in the world around you.
Much like D&D, anytime you attempt something with a reasonable chance of failure the game rolls for you, and your skills or the things you've said/done affect the rolls with modifiers. There's a lot of exploration across unique locales with a lot of verticality to the environments, and a lot of secrets tucked away. All the side quests play back into the main quest in a satisfying way, and it almost never feels like you're wasting your time doing something.
Thanks for these details. Does it have an easy mode though? I’m too old to be grinding or trying over and over again.
That’s a very fair question that should be asked sadly. I saw Elden Ring trailers and wanted to buy because I love RPGs. Got it and then found out the only difficulty it has it’s very extreme and I don’t even have patience to pass the beginning.
If there’s no gimmicks, just a fun well made RPG game I’ll consider.
