From the moment I played Baldur's Gate 3 for PC Gamer magazine's recent final preview cover feature, I knew it was going to change the history of games forever, predicting before release it was going to be "the fantasy RPG of the decade" and that "RPGs are about to be changed forever with Baldur's Gate 3".
What followed cemented that what I'd written was no hyperbole. PC Gamer proceeded to bestow upon Baldur's Gate 3 the highest score we've handed out to a game for 16 years—and, depending on which version of PC Gamer magazine you consult before then, the US or UK variant, the highest score we've ever handed out—calling it a "dream RPG" and the "the new pinnacle of the genre" in our 97%-rated Baldur's Gate 3 review.
