Baldur's Gate 3 is my game of the decade. I doubt I'm alone in making such sweeping assertions about Larian's mammoth RPG – it stole the show at every gaming awards ceremony last year, and continues to pull focus in 2024 with its 20% daily playercount increase still going strong. But all of that begs the question: why are so many of us, in greater numbers than ever, still exploring the Sword Coast?
Last year, me and my fellow GamesRadar+ Features writers took a crack at explaining what makes Baldur's Gate 3 so replayable. The crux of it largely came down to the sheer wealth of opportunities offered up by its myriad character classes, races, and dialogue options, with the slightest change often resulting in brand new outcomes. I never dreamed that 13 months later, I would be back here again to tell you that so much more has been added and enhanced in the short space even since then. So much so, I'm wondering why I can't consider Baldur's Gate 3 to be my GOTY all over again.
