Fouttaf Score
Dimension: 8
It's undoubtedly a massive game, but at the same time, it's very well balanced and knows where to set boundaries. The game map is a good example; although it’s a decent size, it doesn't compare to some of the other world maps we've seen lately. Nonetheless, it is a ridiculously ambitious game in many ways
The Flair: F
The setup is fantastic – top-notch visuals and sound. The voice acting is also the best you could imagine. Loading times can be a bit frustrating, and there are some minor bugs, but they don’t take away from the game’s overall excellence.
The Feel: F
The quality and depth of gameplay are unmatched in this genre. It's very ambitious but lands perfectly. The combat is exquisite, with mechanics that are deep, accessible, and really rewarding. Top tier stuff.
The Fuel: D
There are unforgettable characters, amazing lore, and some epic moments in the adventure. However, the loot is unbalanced, and the story is a bit of a slow burn. It’s tough not to give it a better score because the game does so many things right, but it lacks that extra spark in some crucial areas.

Conclusions
Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that defines a generation and is a masterclass in video game design. It's everything you'd expect from a great adventure combined with a sumptuous RPG structure. It's beautiful, engaging, and full of interesting discoveries. Even if you're not into turn-based combat or RPGs, we highly recommend giving it a try for at least the first three hours. This is hall of fame material.
